Tinsel and koala bears


So I admit - work is not the foremost thing on my mind right now. But how can it be really with Christmas in only 6 days and my trip to Australia and Thailand in only 7? So I have decided to decorate this blog to celebrate the countdown!

I am really in the Christmas spirit this week, I am even wearing a red sweater today. Today is my office Christmas lunch at the Freehouse, the first of four work-related parties this week. I love this season! I am a little worried about gaining Christmas weight before my trip but this season only comes once a year, right?

I am also going to the Globe Theatre tonight to see "A Christmas Carol". The tickets were a gift from my auntie and it is sold out so it should be really great!

On a sadder note, I have decided to take down my Christmas tree this week, before Christmas. I know, it will be a very sad day. I am not back until January 29 and think it would be even more depressing to come home to it still being up so this is my only option.
On the Student Recruitment front, we are busy with application workshops this week. This is where we help grade 12 students fill out there application forms at Regina high schools. The application deadline isn't until June 16 for most faculties, but lots of students like getting their applications off early so that they know where they stand and so that it is one less thing to worry about! We encourage students to apply when they have the best marks, whether that is their grade 11 marks or a combination of grade 11 and first semester grade 12 final marks.

Well I am off to an application workshop at Winston Knoll. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas if I don't get a chance to blog again! I will try to blog a couple times during my trip too.

Something to leave you with: a photo from our ugly sweater party. (Yes, those are patches of leather and fur on my sweater.) Enjoy!
