more than a week already

I'm currently enjoying a long weekend, it's been nice after the first week of work.  I am generally the kind of person who likes a lot of direction, just tell me what you want done and when and it will be done.  Well there is no one at work who has any idea of what I'm supposed to be doing, just that I need to be there.  It took me a couple of days to realize that I'm capable of making all the decisions about how things work; now only if they would figure out my schedule.

A week ago Monday I chose my new car.  I go an '06 VW Rabbit, it is silver and oh so very cute.  Outside of my education I've never made such a big purchase.  I hope it lasts a very long time.

We are staying in and watching fireworks on TV, I went down to the national mall with Julie last year, this time I won't get stuck standing up, barely able to see.
