A Little Closer

Its November now! Just a few months left. Things are finally starting to wind down. I never imagined it 9 months would go by as fast as they have. Soon, it will be Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then New Years and hopefully I'll be home by Valentines Day.

Besides time going by quick, not much has happened. I am no longer going to Qatar. About a week before my flight they decided to tell me they were not going to fill the position. It's okay though. If I would've went there I would have to be away from home for a few weeks longer. This way I'll be home sooner. Besides I'm having a lot of fun beating my friends in video games. It would have sucked being away from family for the holidays, then throw in being away from the friends I've made here, it would have been horrible.

School's going okay. I have a couple more tests and 2 final projects to finish but besides that everything is going well. I'm excited to finish this semester because once its over the 30 day countdown should be almost ready to begin. I also have been slacking in the gym since I use a lot of my free time on homework. I've also been eating a lot of snacks lately. Specifically a 2.5 gallon bag of caramel corn courtesy of Gretchen. My coworkers sent me a box full of diabetes and hypertension. I have a sweet tooth and once its satisfied I need something salty to balance it. Needless to say the treats have been a real temptation.

Last night we had a Halloween party. It was pretty fun. There was a BBQ, music, dancing and all that. There were tons of people dressed up in really outrageous costumes. I didn't really partake in the events all that much. I was signed up for the Halloween Poker tournament, which I took 1st place in. I won a GPS system. I have an Iphone so I didn't really care about the prize, the bragging rights were worth it.

Other than that not much is new.
