This is my last week of work! For a whole year! Then it's back to the "real world" again... FOREVER... and as long as my job isn't solely based on one task... I think I can handle it...

At the end of this week I'm celebrating my new found freedom by spending ten (10) GLORIOUS days out of this state... in Virginia. I'll be visiting family, staying in Gettysburg for a couple of days, touring the Biltmore estate in Ashville TN for a day, and just thoroughly enjoying the remainder of my summer in my cousin's convertible Turbo Beetle (circa 2005) , and if you've ever even just seen me walking down the street you'll know how much I will enjoy that car :)

I just want to say to all of you who read this... Thank you for making this the absolute loooooooonnnnnnnnggggggeeeeeessssstttttt summer I've ever had. And I mean that in the best way possible! I always feel that summer flies by and by the end of it I can't remember a single thing that happened... This time I've had plenty of time to get it all in my head.

I have really enjoyed working at MAT (maybe I'll be a future employee?!? Who know's), but more importantly I've enjoyed getting to know the people who work here. For me, I could be shoveling poo every day (not that I would really want to do that for a living, but you never know) and as long as the people around me are decent people I can survive it (at least for a long er amount of time than if I were shoveling crap by myself).

Clem Mikeska's BBQ on Friday!
