Ten days left!!!

It's funny. There are many days when I find myself wishing the work day to be over so I can get home and do all sorts of other things. Then, when I have the opportunity to take off and do such things (such as yesterday), I do nothing. Yesterday I found the energy to spend a couple hours shopping for my sister, a recent college graduate, and then I went home and sat on the couch for the rest of the afternoon. I started to feel like I might have wasted my precious afternoon off, but Max tried to convince me that I needed the "rest". In any case, it was a nice change of pace from the usually hectic Thursdays.

Today was our all-staff end of the year party at a local Mexican eatery. I had fun socializing with colleagues that I rarely see (you know, because of different lunch schedules and such). You can really tell we spend most of our day time with kids because when we get together in adult company, we can't shut up! It struck me today that I am truly in the last stretch of my first year... I can't believe I've made it this far (thanks to God... and Max)!
