WORLD SERIES!!

Yes, that title is correct. Yours truly and Pops are going to Game 5 of the World Series tonight!!

One of my bosses at work came up to me today after seeing my Phillies t-shirt and wanted to tell me that she and her husband attended Game 5 on Monday night. We quickly chatted up about it before my brain started to wonder. Well... game 5 isn't over. Are they going back to finish the game at Citizen Bank Park. She informed me that she as busy and they could not attend the finish of the game. WHAT?! Too busy for the World Series?! Well, then who is going instead?? Apparently no one. They still had the tickets and didn't give them away. After seeing my eyes light up like a 5 year old at Christmas, she offered me the tickets! (WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!) I am never quitting my job... ever! The only catch is that the tickets are in Princeton with her husband. Please. SO not a big deal. PHILLIES!!!!

Also at work, I had my one-on-one evaluation with one of my other supervisors to discuss my work around the office. I scored 196 out of 200. I think I do a satisfactory job. I [finally] received my $50 gift card to Barnes & Noble for being the "Star of the Semester" for this past summer!

Another also, I went out to the bars at midnight this morning for my friend's 21st birthday. My great day started quite early!

What an incredible day! And it's only 2pm! GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!

New Cell Phone

In addition to my packed weekend on winning game after game, I proceeded to destroy my phone. Or should I say my old phone! My phone got soaking wet due to a ridiculous downpour that literally hurt it was raining so hard. In my failed attempt to dry my phone at an accelerated pace, I foolishly place my phone on a light bulb, which was hot enough to literally melt the screen. So, dumb me broke my phone. I jumped at the opportunity to get a new phone and no longer be ashamed at my vintage 2002 technology (ok, I was not ashamed, far from it actually). I went to a local Verizon store and purchased a LG EnV2. It is a sweet phone with a full keyboard to make texting really quick and easy. I really like it!

NYC!

As part of a massive Christmas gift collection to multiple family members, my sis gave us all tickets to go see 1964: The Tribute in Carnegie Hall in New York City. 1964 is the best The Beatles tribute band in the World according to Rolling Stone, so this was destined to be a great time. The original plan was to bring myself, Beth & Drew Newman (sister & bro[ther-in-law]), my parents (both are fans, but my mom is a HUGE The Beatles fan!), Drew's parents (Older Newmans), and two family friends of the Newmans. The family friends of the Newmans opted to not attend the adventure, and yes it was an adventure which I'll get to in a minute, so Mr and Mrs Shmitch who are long time friends on my mom's were summoned and ready to travel to NYC in a matter of minutes! Literally, in less than 1.5 hours they were called, packed, and over my parents house ready to go. Impressive from a Sanborn perspective. But wait Bill, why were they packed? NYC is only a short train ride a...

College Graduation!!!

In terms of blogging I have fallen off the face of the Earth! It have been over 4 months since my last post?! Ridiculous! I HAVE been really busy, but that time gap is inexcusable and I apologize. Let's do this! Oh yeah, I graduated!! Way back in May (Tuesday, the 19th of '09) I graduated from Rutgers University! I am a joint graduate from the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) and the School of Communication, Information and Library Studies (SCILS). I was granted a Bachelors of Arts degree in Communication with a ~3.4 GPA (really a 3.39) and departmental honors. I was also inducted into Lamda Pi Eta the Communication honor society end of my Junior year. The ceromony was nice and also short running just under two hours (incredible!). It was held in the College Ave gym, a place I have visited many times during my tenure at RU. It was a great feeling to walk across that stage to know that I have finally earned a College degree. Wow! Finally done with College? On the t...
