Pleasant Weekend

I had a very pleasant Thursday at GCC. I had gone there in the afternoon for a speech at the president and a professor were giving on the future of American politics after this recent election. When I signed up, I hadn't recognized the location the meeting was being held, the "Founder's Room". The first thing that I did when I arrived was to go to the security office and have them point me in the right direction. Turns out that the meeting was being held in Pittsburgh and not at the college, so I hung around until Orchesis that evening and visited with some old students that still attended the college.

It was fun seeing old friends. If I had went to visit, I would have arrived earlier in the morning than I did. Later afternoon, midweek, was not a very good time to see old commuters; they usually leave directly after classes. Even with the poor timing I managed to see Brittney (!who is now engaged to Daniel!), Rebecca, Theresa (just passed by), Dr. Jones, Will (Whoo!), and Andrew (with a beard now).

Just as much fun was the speech tournament held in Franklin on Saturday. Just as college was a "blast from the past" (as said by Jacqueline), the tournament was a great time to re-connect. I saw a lot of faces that are still competing, one of the old competitors that is now married since May (congrats!), and several of my mom's friends that I keep in touch with through my mom. :-)

One more week and we'll be seeing the Romines in Ohio. Lots of fun again!

Ahhh....

Today was an average day lately. I got up around 8:00, ate, read the newspaper, sat, put away cloths, made my bed... etc. Since the craft shows have been down, I haven't been doing much of anything. The most exciting things I did today was moving our flatscreen TV into the position of prominence and putting the old TV where it would be available for Dad to cart into the shop for use or parts.

I have my resume all polished and updated. I had lost my virtual and hardcopy versions of my last resume so I had to restart and put it together. (Actually, I salvaged an old copy of Jesse's I had saved, so I didn't quite start from zero)

That's enough for tonight. Margaret, Mom and I ran the dogs this evening and I'm looking forward to a good night's rest.
