Things I miss...

I decided to make a list of things that I do miss or would if I were to live far far away, such as here, since all I have been doing is saying how awesome it is. But there are definitely things I miss. Obviously above all else by far would be all of you guys, family and friends, and pretty much everything on this random list I threw together has to do with people anyways. This list could be 10 times longer, but I held back a lot, haha. Oh and it’s not in any particular order.

1) Dance parties
2) Spontaneous snowman making/ snow in general
3) Pillow fights
4) Duckling lines in Spring
5) Greasy delicious pizza
6) Oreos with peanut butter and sprinkles
7) Laying in the middle of the road in the rain
8) Holly’s laugh
9) Trying to see the liberty bell 5 times and still failing
10) Seasons, especially the fall (leaves and apple picking) in the NE and a white Christmas
11) Sugar highs off of pixie sticks and mountain dew
12) Watching Save the Last Dance, Sister Act II and Stepmom like 500 times
13) Dancing with the dancing santa
14) Watching Billy Bob Thorton Christmas movies
15) Tropical themed apartments
16) Late night talks
17) Chocolate/peanut butter candy
18) Florida spring break
19) Dominating cranium
20) Stores open past 5pm
21) Embarrassing dad moments :P
22) Is, not, is, not! (you know who you are)
23) Team Mary
24) Rent/Disney sing-a-longs
25) And oh so much more :)

In other news, I still haven't started the reproduction work yet which I was a bit annoyed by yesterday, BUT I found out today that the samples have already been processed, so there isn't any pressure on me to try and finish them by the time I leave. I am still going to do some of them just to get a bit of experience with the whole process. I was told the other week that you can't call yourself a biologist until you've done some histology work, so I guess I better get on that eh?

Apart from yesterday (got completely soaked riding into work and just a bad day all around), this week has been a pretty good one and has actually flown by. Last night a bunch of people from work went out to a bar and later a restaurant to celebrate a birthday. It was a lot of fun and definitely needed after the day yesterday. We went to an Italian restaurant and basically packed the little place with the 16 of us, we were a little loud too. All in good fun though.

I am having a seafood pasta dinner tonight which should be fun as well. I also got invited sailing this weekend!! SO EXCITED! I love sailing and I am really excited to learn more about it. There will be 7 of us and the boat looks like its pretty big. The guy we are going with has been sailing his entire life and apparently owns several boats, yes...several. I guess building contractors make a lot of money. There's also apparently potential to go to a club with some woman I met last night from work...? Who knows, I'll see what happens. Look at me with a social life...whoa! Who knew.

Fun Fact:
It’s generally acknowledged that work ends at 3pm on Fridays.
