New Years

No I did not go out and party. I stayed home and read a book. Through out the evening starting at about 8, I heard several fireworks going off in the night. But I celebrated by staying inside and warm in my pj’s. At 12, I heard a lot of fireworks going off, so I walked to the window in my room and watched fireworks from at least 3 different spots in town. I think the idea was that everyone buys their own and sets them off themselves from their backyards and the streets in front of their houses. It reminded me a bit of scenes from movies with cannon explosions or weapons fire at night. The air was filled with smoke from the things and whenever a new one was lit, it exploded against the smoke and perpetual cloud cover of the Ahr valley. It made me a bit lonesome for home so I skyped my family and gave them the Happy New Years. Even though it was only about 4 in the afternoon.

It was a pretty useful call- I got some sweet tech advice from Kim and managed to clean a bit of the junk off my computer. I also learned a bit about disk cleanup and the Run application. Interesting stuff. Kim also gave me some helpful advice about buying an external memory drive. I am running out of space and I have a lot of stuff on my comp that I can’t bear the thought of deleting. So external memory it is! I talked to Andy and Beth as well.

One person that I didn’t have a chance to talk to was Mom. So, Mom, if you’re reading this- Happy New Year. I’ll skype soon :D loves.
