Well, life has been quite busy lately. I guess when you're a college student working in retail at an outdoors store during the holiday & hunting season, life isn't going to exactly be boring huh? We were told we can pick up as many hours as we want this week, including overtime, so I've taken advantage of that.
I went out with a couple friends last weekend and saw a movie, then had a blind double-date on Saturday. I really hate blind dates. I am an out-going people person, but it's a little different when it's labeled a "date" ya know? She is JP's girlfriend's roommate. So, her comfort was Ashley (JP's girlfriend). JP was such a nice pal to point out when my voice managed to squeek. But, a good friend couldn't let that joke go without saying I guess. I would do the same thing to him. It went really well. Suffice to say, when you are forced to sing in front of the girl on the first date (we were playing Rock Band), it works as a great ice-breaker.
Sunday I worked, Monday I had class and homework up the wazoo. Then Tuesday Ryan and I went out hunting and I worked 10 hours after getting up at 4:45 for a hunt. Then Wednesday I had school, including my exam, and then worked 5 1/2 hours. Today I had some "me" time, that was actually "me studying" time and I work 3-10 tonight.
This coming Sunday will be crazy. I go in at 9 a.m. Sunday morning and don't get off until 3 a.m. Monday morning. We are doing another re-arranging of our department and dum-dum me, volunteered to help stay. My saving grace is that my 8:30 class is cancelled both days next week!
The holidays are pretty much upon us now. I am really looking forward to family coming. It will be busy with work, but I will make sure I spend plenty of quality time with family over the season.
An update for you...the MRI on my buddy's mom showed 4 cysts on the brain. They don't know anything about them at this point, she is going to a specialist. So, prayers are still needed and greatly appreciated.
Now, your homework assignment. Give me updates on what's going on with you, my loyal friends and family. I know it's the busy holidays right now, but just leave a comment letting me know how you're doing!!

Hey Mark, You are one busy guy! Ahhh, sweet youth. Love it while you've got it! I've been fostering Emily's chihuahua, Guapo for the past week, and will be keeping him for one more. He fixes my mothering needs. I'm not as excited about the holidays as you are, cuz frankly; they're a lot of work. I do love to be with my family though. So bring it...
Things have been very sad at school this week. Kerry's sister Lindsay passed away. It's been very tough on everyone there.
It's Friday night, and I'm just relaxing for the first time this week. I should be doing my bsf home work, but just watched Mama Mia instead. It was much better than I guessed it would be. Hope to see you soon, Sue
Mark,
You sound so busy. Life seems hectic here as well. Work, home-life, sleep and start it all the next day!
I have been so exhausted lately. Not seeing the sun for a few weeks hasn't helped either. You know me and lack of sunlight do not mix well together!
Take care of yourself and enjoy the holiday. Happy Thanksgiving. We are all so very blessed in all the things we take for granted.
