I haven't seen my favorite holiday commercial yet - the Coca Cola trucks winding down the road all lit up with Christmas lights. "The holidays are coming" is the song that plays during the commercial. I haven't seen the Santa slide down the hill on a Gillette razor either. Or the Folgers commercial where the guy comes home early Christmas morning and starts the coffee to wake everyone up and surprise them. Maybe I just need to watch more television. I haven't exactly been watching a lot of television lately so there's a good chance they are playing on one of the hundred channels that I get.
I have been watching the Food Network a lot the last couple of days. It's more listening to than watching but when they mention something yummy then I turn around and watch - multi-tasking is my life! Some of the winter recipes that have been shown look so amazing. I might try my hand at cappuccino cupcakes this weekend.
Speaking of food, I'm back to doing the food journal thing. Back when I first start running I did this and it worked. Basically, I just have to write down everything that I eat and the amount of calories per item. It was eye-opening a few years ago and it's eye-opening now. School has wreaked havoc on my willingness to take care of my body so it's time for drastic measures. I don't want to graduate in May feeling like a defeated slug.
As for beyond graduation, I'm slowing get a handle on things. With the crappy economy I'm not expecting the greatest archive job in the world to suddenly open up in Fort Fun, which is already saturated with people who have Master's degrees in History. I know people that graduated last May that are still search for a grown-up job. It's pathetic what some employers get away with paying in a college town. So, I've decided to diversify my career so to speak. I'm going to multi-task my way through life and ensure that I'm never bored or broke. Once I get the business cards designed and my website upgraded, I'll post them here.
I'm not finished with school, however. So the studying must continue. I have a final tomorrow and then some always entertaining grading!
