hmmm
I started a post yesterday but I'm pretty sure I got distracted and deleted it accidentally. Anyway, Thanksgiving break was very nice, but very short. Uncle Dave and Aunt Novetta came up. Ryan was home briefly, and we got to spend Weds and Sat night together. On Sat we went to the South Side with Katie, Raff, Julie, and Samantha. It was a lot of fun wandering around and we danced a bit. I also ran into Denise and her boyfriend as Katie was buying a spinach pie from a guy in front of a Greek food place at 1am. I haven't seen in her forever; I'm glad she's doing well. The break actually began with a trip to Squirrel Hill that Tues with Katie and Zac (I'm terribly out of order, sorry), which was a ton of fun. I'd had a crazy day and those two could make me laugh so hard that I felt like I was going to fall off my seat. Now I can't wait for Christmas so I can spend some more time with everyone. Ryan will be home longer, so I'm very excited! I miss him so much while he's in Ohio. The last day of break was spent with Mum and Greta as we took the dog to get her pictures taken at PetCo. Yes, the dog got her portraits done. How adorable. Mum was supposed to pick them up yesterday, so I can't wait to get my wallet pictures.
It's been a very busy week, and that's not going to change until I'm driving home after finals are over. I just finished my Arthurian paper a few minutes ago, hooray! By some fluke I had had the foresight to start my history paper early (so unlike me!) and I finished that one a couple days ago. Now all I have to worry about for the immediate future is my ethics test monday night. Then when that is over, I have to write the ethics paper and my grand senior sem paper on how awesome it's been being an english major. Yeah, all the touchy feely crap for last. I just keep wanting to say, "Dr. McDaniel, this is why people make fun of English majors!" but I keep my mouth shut for good reason. Oh well.
Management is really the bane of my existence. I tend to say that a lot. Don't get me wrong, Mertens is a hilarious guy, it's just the class material that I hate. Thurs was awesome though when we played an unforgettable game of telephone to display how gossip chains never work. Sure, I'll miss his lectures, but not the stupid chapter readings and multiple choice tests that I can't do well on. The class is cancelled on Tues (yay) since we're skipping a chapter, and then I have to go to the review session on Thurs. And of course, the final is at 8:30am finals week, just to make me bitter. Oh well, I'll probably be missing it in a few months, we'll see.
My first day at my new job at Boscov's wasn't too great. Black Friday is NOT a good day to start a new employee, no matter what the girl in Human Resources says. I was not a happy girl. But I must commend the place for having a nice break room and time clock that really works. They even bought pizza for everyone who worked that day (I had leftover turkey instead). I'm just praying that it will be better when I'm selling chocolate in December. I wish I didn't have to work, seeing that this might be the last holiday where I get to see all the friends from home before we all graduate. And when I'm at work I'll just want to be at home spending time with Ryan. :) Someday I'll learn to make money appear instantly.
Christmas has snuck up on me yet again, so that means it's time to think about what to get everyone this year. Sloe and B called me yesterday to discuss gifts, but of course I never have any idea what I want. I want to get everyone something really nice this year, so I need to start thinking now. I bought some Christmas cards on Thurs and started filling them out for everyone at school so I don't have to rush to do it while I'm studying for a final at the same time. I already have a good idea what I want to get for Jessica, but everyone else is proving to be challenging. Ryan said he's almost done with his shopping, I'm jealous!
Sadly I should start studying for ethics. What's even sadder is the fact that I'll probably take a break and watch some tv first. :) Until next time.
The adventure continues...
