Nose-nippin'

There's one week until Christmas! And nobody's stirring in this house! It is rather cold though. I've spent a lot of my winter break under a blanket sipping on coffee-that is when I'm not out with Mom shopping. (which we tend to do quite a bit... but no worries! deals only!) I've been home about one week now.

So much has happened over the past month though worth mentioning!

1. There never was a second interview at the retail store. I was called back and hired one week later! Thanksgiving weekend I worked around twenty hours. It was so exciting. (only slightly nerve-wracking) Working as a sales associate on a commission is quite a learning experience. Not only is it a great position to put down on a resume, but I'm opening up a lot. Initially I had no idea why I was hired to sell designer clothing because of my reserved personality. Now I'm comfortable with chatting with customers and suggesting retail items. I can't wait to get my first paycheck!
2. My grades this fall quarter were much better than expected. A's in all classes except Notation and Intro to World Cinema, which I received A-'s in. What a pity.
3. I'm living in a house next year with two friends. It's cute with wood flooring, nice appliances, laundry machines, a sizable basement for storage, and my own room. The location is convenient too. I can't wait to move in, although that won't be until at least late August.
4. I have bangs now! Thick, blunt bangs! Usually I find hair to be a petty thing to discuss however the dramatic change had me a bit shook up. I hate leaving the salon unsure about what's going on up top my head. It's grown on me though, despite a slight resemblance of Cleopatra.

Right now Phil is in South Carolina. He's heading down to Florida to visit his family. It doesn't feel right without him here with me. I'm anxious for Christmas to pass so I can return to Columbus with him.

For now I'm looking forward to a white Christmas! It might actually happen this year. :]
