Last Tuesday marked the beginning of the end for my college career. This sesmester will be my last semester as an undergraduate. I’ve only had a few days to get a feel for my new schedule, but I don’t believe that it will be too overwhelming.

As many of you may know, I’m about to enter the job market. I’m aiming high, for the time being. I’m a bit nervous about the whole process, but… you can’t win ‘em all, I suppose.

Ok, and now on to more fun stuff. Today my roommate Scotty and I went… TO THE SAINT PAUL WINTER CARNIVAL!!!!!

Our excitement about being there is best evidenced by the following photograph.

Ok, so really we didn’t do much of the stuff on the Winter Carnival docket, other than taking in the snow sculptures from last weekend’s competition. But, even though we only saw this one small piece of the winter carnival, I still give it 42 thumbs way up!

More to come soon!

Happy winter, everyone! I’m glad you stopped by. Here’s what you should know what’s been going on in my life over the past few weeks. I am currently unemployed. I’m not in classes right now thanks to the month long break which began well before Christmas and will end sometime in the middle of January. Thus, I have a lot of free time on my hands.

At this point, you may be asking yourself, “But Seefox, if you have so much free time, why haven’t you updated until now?”

And the answer dear readers, is that things have been surprisingly busy, despite my lackadaisical demeanor over the past few weeks. Besides checking out many of Minneapolis’s diverse restaurants, I’ve also been visiting its beautiful outdoor skating rinks and sledding hills. During my break I’ve also gone snowboarding at least once a week since Christmas, continued volunteering in the Minneapolis School District, and I’ve tackled quite a few home improvement projects, too.

In other news, I had a great Christmas. See for yourself -

Thanks for checkin’ in. I should have another update for you soon. I hear that the St. Paul Winter Carnival is rolling through town in about a week, so there should be adventures and pictures galore.
