Thursday is Trash Day

I understand having to take out the trash.

You don't want your house to smell, you don't want animals or bugs to get into the garage (yes, I meant "garage," not "garbage"), you don't want clutter building up.

But I really hate having to get up in the morning, out of my warm bed, to touch a bunch of dirty trash cans, pulling them down a huge hill while it is quite chilly.

*Yawn* I suppose a big part of my problem is that I stayed up too late last night and as a result, am really tired.

Anyway. I need a way to wake up if I'm going to get anything accomplished today. I should really put all these clothes away, but I know that as soon as I start getting ready for my class visit/dinner meeting tonight, I'm just going to pull all of the clothes right back out because I can't for the life of me decide on an outfit that I like. What's acceptable for a dinner meeting with your supervisor and client, anyway? Can I get away with casual, or do I need to dress up? I'm thinking kind of casual, but don't know if jeans would be pushing it. I would really like to wear a sweater. *Yawn*

Oh! And I need to send my resume off to another company that requested my info yesterday. I'm not exactly sure what it entails, but I have a slight idea. I suppose it doesn't hurt to inquire. I also wish I didn't have to wait until next week to find out if the company I spoke with yesterday wants me to visit for an in-person interview. But such is life. At least I have a couple of people actually responding to me, right? Let's hope something falls into place before Christmas. That would be just wonderful.

Until then, I'm listening to Christmas music and trying not to let anything get me down too much. I have to admit that it is a nice change not to have to spend half of the Christmas season stressing over final projects and exams (the first year in a long time I've been able to do this). Although, the fact that Barry Manilow is now singing on my radio is not doing much to lighten my mood. He's like the old version of Clay Aiken.

I'm thinking it might be kind of fun to decorate my room a little bit for Christmas...but I don't really have enough free space to do that--I use basically every square inch I can to store all my stuff! Well, I'm sure my parents will want to pull out the Christmas decorations for the rest of the house any day now, and I will probably be complaining for an entire few days while I have to run up and down two flights of stairs to sort through everything. It would be nice to just wake up one morning and see everything already decorated, right? I think so.

Okay, I guess I'll go try to wake up some more...I'm unusually tired for 11:00 in the morning (this is my favorite time of day!) I should really try to learn to like coffee, although I'm not sure that would be the healthiest addiction.

Tootles.
