My little sister just informed me that I single-handedly am supporting every coffee farmer in the entire world with my insane coffee habit. You know, she might be right. Apparently coffee farmers only make $1000 a YEAR?! I almost guarantee I spend that much on coffee in a year, especially in holiday season... I mean, I just CAN'T deny those amazing red Christmas cups. They make the coffee taste better. yeah that's right.. I said it. They're marketing ploy, the silly decorations on the damn cup MAKE ME BUY MORE COFFEE... well congrats Starbucks on a job well done, and I'll just go ahead and give myself a little pat on the back for funding and entire coffee farmers year... yupp.
As I am sitting here now there is Christmas music flowing down the hallways into my room and I am thinking, you know what would make this Christmas music better? Coffee from a Holiday Cup. There is nothing I love more than Christmas time. I love the entire season. I love the lights, (but I really like white lights better than colored lights..) I love the cooking and baking, and the decorations. I love the mall at Christmas time, and how much happier everyone seems to be. I love that my little literally spent 20 minutes trying to hang colored lights in our room (even though I really like white ones better..) and then, the self-proclaimed Martha Stewart only hung up one strand before going back to her computer. Fail Katherine. ha. Some people say it's too early for the music, and I say bah, humbug. If you can play me some awesome Thanksgiving music, or even a sweet Thanksgiving movie, maybe I'll budge... maybe. I grew up in the hometown of Thanksgiving. The place where the Pilgrims and the Indians rendezvoused oh so many years ago, and even I don't really care. Yay for Christmas. Especially since this Christmas I will be spending in the fabulous city of boston.
Tonight, before I decided to write, I realized that I should probably try to do some course work, after all school is the real reason I am here... right? Well, low and behold I reach into my bag to pull out my geography book to write my assignment, and I got the WORST. PAPERCUT. EVER. Seriously, it hurt so bad. As Roxanne Taylor put it.. "I would rather fracture something than get a papercut, all that pain and nothing to show for it." It is seriously the worst invention ever. I mean.. without paper, we wouldn't have, well, anything. But I am glad the computer is going to take over. Papercuts are an unnessecary evil. WHY does paper even have to be "sharp". So needless to say, I am never, ever reaching into my stuffed bag ever again and attempting to pull out a stack of papers. Unnecessary danger.
Now on to my Diane challenge
Post # 11? November 15, 2010
Today I am thankful for Miss Dori Neff. She is a CLC visiting our chapter this week to help us be more prepared for officer transitions. She has been a saving grace to me this week, and she honestly could not have come at a better time. Just when I was starting to check out of my position and doubt the job that I have done, she pulled me right back in and assured me that the things I am feeling and the way the chapter is going is great for how old we are. There is really only so much one person can do, and she helped me see that you can't always fix everything. Her strength and her ability to be so far away from her family and friends for the second year as a CLC is outstanding. She is an incredibly strong person and offers very wonderful, and savvy advice. She really helped me make a big decision about an application I am working on for next year, and made me realize that everything that I do, other people do to, and it's always worth it. Thank you Dori for restoring my faith in myself, for helping me realize my potential and for helping me figure out part of my next step.
Today I am thankful for her. For her hardwork and dedication. For everything she has given to us and to Gamma Phi Beta as a whole. I know it's not always easy, but it's definitely appreciated. I know that tonight I gained more than the advice of a CLC, but that of a sister, a friend and a role model. Thank you
