In case you were wondering, being back in the real world after a week in paradise is not so fun.
The good news is, though, that I will be returning to a normal schedule at work! Well, normal might be too strong of a word. I should say that I'm moving back onto the day schedule. Starting December 1, 2008 I will be working from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. instead of 1:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. I know that 6 a.m. is really early, but I think it will be totally worth it to get off work at 2:30. I'm going to have so much TIME to get stuff done! And I don't even have to move my desk, which is fantastic because I hate having to pack up everything.
Not the least of the stuff is homework. The semester ends on December 10, and I have a lot (A LOT) of work left to do before then. The anxiety of it all is getting to me, and I'm not really looking forward to trying to get everything done this weekend--what with it being Thanksgiving and everything. I'm not at all sure if I'll make it...
In any case. Happy Turkey Day everyone! Hope it's full of family, friends and lots and lots of food!
P.S. The annual Thanksgiving post will have to be delayed this year until I dig myself out of the mountain of homework.

Thanksgiving 2007
I am extremely on top of the game this year, seeing as I'm making my Thanksgiving post on Thanksgiving. I can't take all the credit though...most of it should go to Fidelity and the fact that I have been at work since 7 this morning. Why? Because that's the nature of the job. I'm not complaining, though (okay, I'm complaining a little bit), because they're paying me triple what I make on a normal day, and I only have to be here till 11. I may even get to leave sooner than that, if the volumes stay at zero.
So anyway, Thanksgiving.
This year has been an interesting one. This year I managed to do a lot of the things that I set out to do, and I had a blast. I would not have been able to do so much or enjoy myself nearly as much had it not been for my hubby. So, above all things this year, I am grateful for my Vino. At the risk of sounding corny or sappy, he is my rock. He really keeps me grounded (whether I want him to or not sometimes), and my life would be boring and empty without him. 'Nuff said.
I am also grateful for my job. I may complain about it (it is a job after all, it's not a vacation), but I enjoy it for the most part. Good pay, relatively easy work, and awesome coworkers makes it easier to drag my ass out of bed at 5:30 every morning. I certainly don't want to be here for the rest of my working life, but for the time being it really is the best job I could have.
My family. We gained a new addition to my immediate family this year. My nephew Chris, who only gets cuter and cuter every day, is a little (and I mean that figuratively) bundle of pure joy. I love him to death. And his mom. And his dad. And his other aunt and uncles. And his grandparents. I love them all.
Friends. You know me. I wouldn't be who I am without my awesome friends. I've said it before, and I'll more than likely say it again, but I have the coolest friends ever. Life would be pretty dull without them, so I'm grateful for the fun we have together.
