Good News/Bad News

Good News:

I am getting an Assistant Director starting in mid-January! This means I don't have to spend so much time dealing with student issues and can focus on some really cool initiatives for my area.

I finished my class with an A-. Normally I'd be devastated, but you know what? I really don't care. I'm thrilled! My cumulative GPA is now 3.972. I can live with that.

Most of my nausea has gone away and I am starting to show...soon, people will know I'm pregnant and not just someone who likes pie.

My Christmas vacation starts at noon tomorrow. I am so burnt out and cannot wait to have 17.5 days of relaxation!!!

Bad News:

My brother's on/off girlfriend's mom died this week from complications after having plastic surgery. Her dad died a few months ago from cancer and her mom had decided to get plastic surgery to make her feel a little better. Now Caroline is without both parents and is an only child. My heart breaks for her. I'm just glad my brother is there to take care of her.

Remember the woman who made my life a living hell while I was commuting to Arizona every week over the summer? She has reared her ugly head and sent a letter to the Board of Trustees about her "mistreatment", using veiled threats to try and get something (more money) out of them. This time, she even played the race card, which is ridiculous. Thing is, she is in breach of contract and now the attorneys are handling it. It's not my fault she was incompetent and warranted firing...it's not my fault she sat on her lazy ass collecting her severance pay instead of finding a new job. Now it's all run out and she is shit out of luck...AND in breach of contract. I used to feel sorry for her (just a little bit), but not anymore.

We didn't put up a Christmas tree this year, which makes me very sad. I made Stephen promise that this is the last year we will ever go without putting up a tree (we didn't have one in 2003 either because we were moving).
