New goal

Monday, January 5th, 2009

This is the penguin paperweight I received for Christmas from my Godmother, Carol. I love him. Upon receiving the little fella, I thought for a moment and said "I've never petted a penguin". To this, my brother Jimmy and Carol's daughter Amanda laughed.  But I was serious. I want to pet a penguin! In the last ...

Happy Holidays!

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

You know what? I don't care if my current subject material isn't pertinent to my future employers. This is my current life and I'm not ashamed of it! (Ask me if I am in 6 months and you might get a different answer.) As for what's happening right now... The Sticehold (that's ...

An explanation

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

So you'll notice a few 'Back to America' posts are missing.  This is because in my cover letters I'm placing a lot of emphasis on WWK and I don't think future employers really care to read about my Facebook fast or that GA Tech beat FSU for the first time since 1975 and ...

New Plan!

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

So I had a meeting with my dad last night to discuss my future during these rough economic times.   I haven't been able to find a job, and Santa at Phipp's never called me back! So for the next 6 months (or so) I'm going to be interviewing different people about ...

Twilight…

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

"It's about this girl who falls in love with a vampire..." <pause> "But it's better than it sounds I swear!" That's my Theta roommate Lindsay speaking... The 4 months we lived together she had this series of books she couldn't put down.  The Twilight series.  Actually, it was her, Jenna, Lauren and ...

I need a job!

Monday, November 17th, 2008

I need a job like WOAH.  Been searchin' the net- every nook and cranny of every travel related site.  As it seems, no one is hiring fun, adventure-loving recent college grads.  If anyone knows of anything please gimme a holler- I will pour coffee, I will walk your dog, I ...

Taylor Swift

Friday, November 14th, 2008

She's 18, she's got an adorable personality, she's gorgeous and oh yes, she can sing. Not that I have anything against country, I just haven't bought a country album since Garth Brooks: Double Live came out in '98. But this girl isn't just some country crooner, she's kind of like a country/pop ...

Look at Jocelyn! The Russian Circus performer!

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Remember when I went to the Russian Circus in Moscow? I don't know about the rest of you but something in that post inspired Jocelyn.   Here she is in her fabulous Halloween costume:::: Yes, that is WWK.COM written on her chest.

The lake house

Monday, November 10th, 2008

This past weekend I headed to Clayton, GA, to visit my grandpa Bar* for his 87th birthday.  Although I sent postcards to Bar's house on Lake Burton at every stop throughout my trip and I thought of it fondly while walking around Norway, I almost forgot how much I love the lake.  The ...

GOAL ACCOMPLISHED!

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Talk about an amazing guy, my friend Phil saw that learning to drive a stick shift was on my goal list so he surprised me by taking me out on a lesson! You couldn't wipe the smile off my face the entire time! First and second gear around a church parking lot! ...
