Another month has gone by without an entry. As with every passing month, my life has just been full of surprises at every corner. No, I am not married, I bought a condo last month. It was a crazy experience. I decided during the last week of October that I would want to have a condo of my own. I closed on December 4. During this 1.5 month experience, I had to figure out funding, find an agent, find a lender, etc. It was crazy, especially when my closing date got dragged on and on. The great news is that now I am all moved in. I have 2 beds and 2 baths. Both somewhat furnished. My dining room is the only real empty hole in my condo. I figure I can only work on a couple of rooms at a time.

I am finally on my final stretch of Masters. The good thing is that I only have my thesis left, but the bad thing is that I should start looking for a new job. My question is, how do you do that? I am so confused. I don’t even know where to begin. I saw a flier today for a position, but how do I know if I am qualify for it? I know on paper, my CV looks awesome, but do I really have the skills to do the job? That is my next hurdle, actually figuring out what to do with my life. I could always go to more school, but that is so draining. I must say I have it way easier than a lot of Master students since I do get paid for going to school, but do I want that for another 5 years if I do a PhD? I am already a doctor, would the extra letters really get me that much more in life?

While I am contemplating about this life decision, I will be baking some traditional Christmas stuff. This Christmas, I will actually stay in SLC. I got a white Christmas tree and borrowed a dozen Nutcrackers from my friend. I will try to make a turkey and ham for Christmas dinner. I hope the people that come would come real hungry, otherwise lots of food will go to waste.

Merry Christmas to all now!
