Just a note to help me procrastinate
Gotta make this one fast...forgive the randomness.
Since I found out I'm not going to England, I've been scrambling a bit trying to figure out the whole extern deal. Fortunately for me, there is a career fair going on here at the school. I'm going to be passing out my resume and firmly shaking hands like a mad woman in between work and class. Tonight I've got to print out my resumes and cover letters and decide what I'm wearing tomorrow. In an effort to try to at least stand out visually from the rest, I've decided to go with business casual rather than the whites. We'll see how that works out for me.
I have class today from 2-8:45ish. Hopefully we kick some butt today because I am really tired of getting out of there late. That and I really would like to go to the baker's club meeting tonight because they're doing a review for the practical that I have coming up the week of Thanksgiving. I hope I pass...I have this overwhelming feeling that I'm going to fail.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, I was planning on staying here because we only get 4 days and it's a 14 hour drive home and plane tickets are a little more than I can afford on my $50 a week salary and because my middle name is Elizabeth. My middle name really has nothing to do with anything at all; I just thought I would throw that in there in case you were wondering about my middle name. Anywho, thinking of actually doing a bit of a road trip with my friend Jason and taking him home to meet my family. Hopefully we can avoid a "God Warrior"-esque insident. We'll see how that goes. If I do stay here I'm SO going to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. HOW COOLWOULD THAT BE?!
Gonna head off to class now. I'm getting that nervous feeling in my tummy because I know I've forgotten to do something. Hopefully it's not something too important.

well im glad you have a plan. and I vote COME HOME so i can see you. ill drive whereever i need to go to get my christian fix
wow, sounds fun either way - the parade would be awesome!! we might go back to IL because Jeremy and Amanda and the kids will be coming back for a visit, but otherwise, we plan to stay in Detroit for both holidays. Have you found out anything about the externship? How did the fair go? I'm glad your middle name is still Elizabeth, thought you'd have changed it by now!
Nicole- More than likely we're coming home unless something major happens. It's a four hour drive from Champaign. You are more than welcome to come! I am not committing to even going to Indianapolis because we'll be driving so long as it is, and we only have a short time off. I would LOOOOOOOVVVVEEE to see you though.
Freddie- I had some pretty good interviews yesterday (I still need to fill out an application on line for one of them and send some thank you notes) for locations in Orlando, Miami and Colorado. I asked my chef his opinion on them yesterday and he said that he wouldn't suggest the place in Colorado. I haven't had any offers yet, so we'll see about that. I'm probably going to apply a few other places around the country. I'm nervous and want to get all of my ducks in a row!
I wish I could see you all for the holidays...that would make my day great!
I'm probably going to be in Champaign around Christmas time...my Christmas tree is still hanging out there and I need to get it. I'll let you all know plans as they develop. :)
