Twenty-ten is fun to say. Go ahead, I give you permission to be silly, say twenty- ten out load. The more people around you the louder you should probably say it. Especially if you don’t know those people like in a coffee shop or a library. Twenty-ten.
Alright I’m done. Sorry for that.
I am “celebrating” the end of twenty-ten with the flu. We are planning on working through the new year with a box of tissues and a whole bunch of episodes of Fringe. Yea, me and the flu we are super cool. And if you think it’s gonna be hot where you are it’s about 101.5 here.
Okay, I’ve apparently decided to do stand up. Sorry about that. I’ll really stop now. I just wanted to look back and mention all the awesome things that happened/ i did in 2010. (look i’ve even stopped writing it out now, this is about to get serious.)
- turned 24.
- student taught at my old high school with my old teacher and taught some of the coolest teenagers I’ve ever known.
- Went to visit my friend in Texas and after months of listening to him complain about the heat there was a solid foot of snow (while there we saw a movie in a theatre where you sit in rolly chairs. no joke.)
- Canada played America in hockey in the olympics. I cheered like an American (being the only one at my house) and then was a sore loser like one, too.
- Started applying for jobs.
