5. This

In case you ever wondered what I do when I'm bored/randomly decide to have crafts time, here it is!

It only took about 45 minutes to make, and I think the outcome is awesome! (I didn't smoke any of them. Just cut them down to size and burnt them long enough so they had the feel)

This is part of my Halloween costume. My girlfriend Heather is going to be in one of the many outfits Gaga wears in the "Bad Romance" video and I'm going to be one of the Russian guys in the video + these glasses. I can't wait!

4. My New Job

Last week, I was hired at the Hampton Inn here in Ruston. At first, I was a little worried that I would be swallowed whole by the entire experience. When you're staying in a hotel, you never think about what it takes to run the place. It's not until you actually stop to think about what the employees probably do on a daily basis until you realize how big of a job it really is. I was very intimidated at first that I would be slow to pick it up or if I would even do a decent job. Fortunately for me, the people are very helpful and I've already made much longer strides than I thought I would make in my first week. I'm really excited to learn more and see what I can do!
