I absolutely love dinner parties.

I mean, regular parties can be great sometimes, but I am always a fan of dinner parties.
I'm also a ceiling fan, especially when it rains.

Have I already said that?
If I have, I'm just letting you know that it's still true.

Anyway, dinner parties are awesome. Something about the Christmas season just makes people want to invite everyone they know and have dinner with them.

And I'm totally down with that.

Some people, when invited to these events are all like, "Mannnnnn I don't wanna go. It's like...all these people, SO awkward, and I have to like dress up sort of kind of and the worst part- absolutely worst part- is that they are calling it a 'Holiday' party instead of a Christmas party. They're taking the Christ out of Christmas! BLARG!"

Or something like that.

But not me.
I'm like DINNER PARTY?

YES!

Good things about dinner parties:
1. Dressing up. It's so much fun. I love looking cute, and there are always going to be pictures taken at these sorts of things.
2. Free food! (And often an open bar!)
3. The people. I've always said, "It's not what you're doing; it's who you're with" (or with whom you are), and that's very true. But even if I don't know anyone else there, I'm able to amuse myself, which is always fun.

I don't know what it is. I just love dinner parties. They are one of my favorite things.

And my department's party last night was awesome.
The IS department is awesome  and the people I work with are awesome and they appreciate me so much and it is so very nice to be appreciated and they are sad that I am leaving and so am I but they are so happy for me and say I will go far!

One of the teachers there said my resume was one of the most impressive ones he's ever come across. He says I'll probably end up a CFO or something and that I won't be in lower-levels for long.

And I was like- man, I've only worked for these people for 4 months. I wonder if people at my new job will see me the same way.

Their encouragement just gave me the drive, the want, the gumption to be forever awesome.
