Chuggin Along
Well I had a really nice weekend in Texas. I was really busy on Saturday which was really nice. I went to the Lowes workshop on how to lay ceramic tile, which was fun and interesting. Then I went to Turkish class, where Tracy and I wow'ed our Turkish teacher. He actually told us that he was impressed with how well we did :-) It's all thanks to Ozan for helping us study on Thursday night. Afterwards, I headed out to Elgin and met Nate's parents who were visiting Nate and Heidi for the week. We went to see the bats, and then had dinner and drinks down on 6th street. Oh yeah, and I finally found EMOS, that Jeff from LMNK had told me about.
Sunday, I did the ritual stuff...Grocery shopping, laundry, Sims 2, read a book...same old same old. I'm on another shopping freeze. I allowed myself to start shopping again this friday, and used up my quota in one day at the scrapbook store. But at least I have enough supplies to make my personal album, and an album for my grandparents for Christmas. Unfortunately, I didn't save enough to buy myself some practical dancing shoes for class on Wednesday. Last week I got in a little trouble for going to class with flip flops on :-) My teacher told me I better come to class with a pair of good leather soled shoes...So this week we're going to try out the heels...All I have are my high heeled work shoes, that are probably too high, and my legs will probably fall off...but it'll be worth it to do the FUN SPINS!!! (Those are my favorite, except when I get dizzy, because my teacher is using me as an example and making us do the spins like 5 times in a row...hehehe)
I had a bit of sad news today. I received an e-mail from RIT. They are retiring my RIT e-mail account. Pretty soon they are going to disable EKB2747. It is a sad day for me, because I'm truely realizing that I'm no longer in college. And I'm no longer an RIT student...and now I have to PAY for my e-mail address and webspace. But don't worry. Bopsbeth.com will still be alive and kickin. Seymen and I are doing some comparison shopping for web hosting...and my domain name company will give me an e-mail address. (I'm thinking: beth@bopsbeth.com) but we'll see. Something amazing might hit me between now and then. I'll definitly keep you posted.
Which reminds me...I guess I need to take all my stuff down from my RIT webspace...Damn the man. I'm so sad :-((( Anyway...don't worry...I'll be OK. I guess it's time to move on from EKB2747.
Let's see...Seymen and I were talking last night and started discussing our vacation plans for next year. Seymen wanted to go to Hawaii (for real this time...not just talk about it)...but I looked at prices and it's way too expensive...Even for our paychecks ;-) <--That was a bad joke...I know...Anyway, I'm thinking HONG KONG...Or THAILAND...They have some really awesome Airfare, Hotel, and Transfers Inclusive deals online. There's a 6-8 day trip to Hong Kong and Tokyo. Maki thinks we should do that one :-) And of course, it would be even better because we have friends in Hong Kong and Bangkok, but we could also go to Malta, which is west of the most southern tip of the boot of Italy, for wicked cheap tooo!!!! OR we could just go to Turkey :-) So many choices! Some many places to GOOO!! The GOOD news is!!! This site offers AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE -- and I mean AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE deals for Turkey for my family to come visit me, when we move there ;-)
