OH! My work party was good. I had a fun time. I’m surprised only two people drank. My co-workers are crazy. I thought I’d be the only one NOT drinking, since I’m not 21. We went to a La Casita, which is a Mexican restaurant. It was good. We also did a Christmas gift exchange and I got a $25 gift card to Border’s. I had a great time.
I’m so glad my boss gave me Christmas Eve off! My parents and I will be heading to my Grandmama’s house that day. We’ll have Christmas Eve at my Grandmama’s. My uncle just recently became a chaplain so he will give a sermon at my Grandmama’s house. My uncle and cousin are going to bring their guitars and we’re going to sing Christmas songs. I’m excited. On Christmas day, we’ll head over to my aunt and uncle’s house, who live five minutes away from my Grandmama. We just got my cousin’s presents and I think we are all done now.
The only thing that would make my Christmas perfect would be to see Kathleen and Angelah. I miss them so much. I wish I had the money to fly down and go visit them. I wanted to fly down and go to Disneyland with Kathleen like we used too, but I just can’t afford it right now. I hope I can see them in January or soon.
I asked my boss for a raise and she said I can have on in May once I complete my core classes for ECD, but I’ll be a certified teacher on January 20. I’m kind of upset that I can’t have the raise sooner, but she plans on giving me a good raise so I won’t complain. It’ll be just in time for the summer once I go back to full time, which is good.
Am I the only one who feels like 2008 went be really fast? I mean, I feel like I just moved here and it’s already almost 2009. Remember Y2K when everyone was thinking that all the computers and what not would just shut down? I remember my dad was on call all the night because he worked for IBM. Glad he didn’t get called in! I can’t believe how fast time is flying by. I did so much this year; I moved, went back down to Los Angeles eight times, started school, went back to work, met new friends, and much more.. but for some reason I feel like I haven’t done much.
Anyway, I updated Wordpress, which took a while but I’m glad I did. I kept seeing the little update message everytime I logged into WP for a while. I think I skipped two or three new versions, but I waited until 2.7. I’m still getting used to the admin interface, but I think I like it. You should if you haven’t!
