work christmas party

Mike and I are going to his work christmas party tonight. I'm actually kind of nervous, because I haven't met any of them before. I'm hoping things go well, and we can find a couple to maybe befriend. It would really be nice to start having friends here. Mike gets to talk to different people everyday; I on the other hand, get to talk to him and then people back home on the phone or online. I know this will all change once I get a job.
