shrambles

I'm overwhelmed because 2006 is almost over. Christmas will be here in a week, I haven't started shopping. As always, with a new year comes new responsibilities to make it better than the last or at least keep it at an even keel. 2006 was pretty big - Costa Rica, Acapulco, Graduation and it's festivities, A handful of 1st Birthdays, a summer without work, moving to the Cape for AmeriCorps, yada yada yada... all this good stuff and the best part -- the people of course. I've been able to be with friends, make new friends, get back in touch with some people. Ferris Bueller knew what he was talking about when he said life moves pretty fast. Lately it's been hitting hard how fast the weeks go..... it feels like just yesterday i was learning to tie my shoes.

Anyways back to the present, today I spent 7 hours on a bus making people take surveys. Okay that's a lie, i spent 5-ish hours on the bus and 2-ish hours in Provincetown, aka Ghost-town because it's winter. Speaking of winter, this mild weather, while nice, is horrifying. As I was saying today, it's beginning to look a lot like Florida everywhere you goo.... I dont' know if it's global climate change or aliens or what but it's not cool, literally. Haha jk that was awful.

So next up, I have a new obsession: The Bourne DPW/Recycling center. Every week we have a different chore and so this week I was recycling. Well i'm not going to lie at first i was terrified of this job, but I went last week and got my bearings so this week i felt better about it -- an understatement.... The place looks dirty and dingy, but really it's magical. It has massive dumpsters each labelled for convenience: glass, chipboard, cardboard, newspaper, magazines.... it goes on beieve me. But it doesn't stop with dumpsters there are piles of crazy metal things, old propane tanks, hazardous waste.... I love it so much that I made Laura stop by there on our way to work because I "accidentally" forgot to bring the cardboard! Uhh I mean, just kidding....
Ahhh I miss it already. Only 13 more weeks until I get to go back.

"ugh sometimes i wonder if i'm just too grown up to do this"
