Trip Report Tuesday: New Things
Two weeks ago, my posted projects were thus: Find an interview outfit and lead an elementary school needlework club. I am pleased to report a rousing success on both counts. The elementary schoolers love knitting, crocheting, and making lanyards and bracelets. I also looked adorable at my interview, which went tolerably well and from which I am still waiting on results.
In the intervening time I have had the following new experiences:
- Stayed in a hotel all by my lonesome
- Ordered room service
- Was reimbursed for a travel expense
- Learned to play pinochle
- Acquired my very own giant wall calendar
- Visited the Morton Arboretum
My goal for next week? More new experiences. What new things have you experienced recently?
