Virtual Coffee

It's been so long since we've been able to meet for coffee, but I'm so glad that we were able to meet today!

So what's it going to be for you?  I think I'm going to go for tea today (oddly enough)... since I've been on kind of a green tea craze the past few weeks and am finding it to be much more effective than coffee in getting me out of bed in the morning and, more importantly, keeping me awake throughout the day.

If we were really meeting for coffee I would probably start by apologizing to you for missing so many of our coffee dates.  I would tell you that my life has just been crazy this past month or so (mostly in a good way!) and that I have been playing catch up at work and with my studies after my little impromptu trip to California.  I would tell you that the trip was totally worth it though and that I had such a wonderful time getting to see friends and family.

If we were really meeting for coffee I would probably ask you to fill me in on what's been happening in your life and whether you have any exciting plans coming up in the future or whether you did anything crazy since we last had coffee.  I would tell you congratulations if you were one of my many friends graduated with their Master's this past weekend and ask you what your future plans are... whether you'll be trying to go straight into a career, or whether you will be taking some time off to travel or do volunteer work.

On the subject of graduations, if we were really having coffee I would tell you how proud I am of my Mom for graduating with her Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from CLU (my alma mater!).  She has been working full-time and studying for the past couple of years now and I'm happy (and I'm sure she's even happier) that all those extra hours finally paid off.  I'm pretty sure she also graduated with a cum laude so she sure is one impressive lady :)

I would probably then go on to tell you that my new job is going really well and that, while I still have a LOT to learn I'm really starting to get the hang of things and have even been able to bring some of the things I learned at my previous job into the business.  I would also tell you that at first I found it so weird having to "dress up" for work every morning, but that now I'm actually starting to enjoy it.

I would also tell you that I'm SO excited the semester is ending on the 1st of June because I've never been so ready for a break!  If we were really having coffee I would ask you what your plans are for summer (if you lived in the US) or for the winter holiday (if you lived in SA).  I would also ask if you're looking forward to the break as much as I am :)

Last but not least, if we were really having coffee I would recommend that you cancel whatever plans you have tonight and go watch Arthur (but only if you like silly Russel Brand sort of humor).  Jurgen and I went a couple days ago and almost died laughing and have both been walking around saying "Hobson!" in a really high pitched voice to eachother ever since.  In fact, Jurgen started laughing so hard in one part of the movie that it made me laugh so hard that I almost choked and subsequently had to spit my coke zero all of the floor to prevent certain death.  So, if you're in need of a good pick-me-up go see it :)

I would then ask you if you've seen any good movies lately and also whether there are any movies that are coming out soon that are a must see on you list.

Well my coffee green tea is almost up, but if we were really having coffee, before we went our separate ways I would ask you to pretty please complete the survey at the top right-hand side of the page if you haven't already.  I'd love to get your input on what you'd like to see more of on here!

See you next week!
