November Edition

It's November 1st and while that means many are excited about no shave November, Thanksgiving, classes dwindling to an end,  the release of twilight and the muppets, the end of the world series (go Cardinals)...I'm mostly excited because the first of November means Disney will let me know within 2 weeks if I can work for them this Spring. 


I know Professional Internships are hard to get, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up. It's been a month and a half since I interviewed. A month and a half that has gone by surprisingly fast, so these 2 weeks shouldn't be a problem. 


I am also waiting to see what the schedule looks like for the week of Black Friday  (as the retail world labels it). 
Black friday-the day before the infamous kU vs. MU football battle.. Also the weekend of my birthday (11/27)
a day during which Kohl's thinks it's necessary to open @ 12am. Are you kidding me?
     That means management has to come in at 10pm and likely will stay well into the morning. 
      If you live 4 hours away from your home town, how could you possibly spend the holiday at home and be back in time. 
      Yet, all requests off must be approved by the store manager. 




Anyway, onto brighter topics.. great sports weekend for Missouri. Cardinals won the World Series, Rams beat the Saints, Chiefs became No. 2 in their division, and Mizzou beat ranked Texas A&M. For those of you counting, that's MO 2, Texas 0. 
...to be continued, as we play Tx the next 2 weeks also (Baylor then the longhorns)


This weekend, I'm going to St. Louis for the Delta Sigma Pi Career Prep day. On that note, I was excited to find Alumni organizations for both Alpha Gamma Delta and Delta Sigma Pi located in Orlando. I also found some churches to look into. 


Things I'm looking forward to: 
11-11-11... might have to make some wishes if I haven't heard back from Disney yet
Kyle visiting next weekend -sushi and trops :)  and maybe exploring some new places 
The MU vs kU football game

Spending time with the Annens in Valparaiso- hope it snows!
