Drizzly dayzzzz

So it has finally started raining here! Actually, it has been for the past two days. I am happy to see it, but I'm told that there is plenty more of this to come in the winter months. I'll just be happy enjoying it while I can.

School is chugging right along. I got an A on my Photoshop mid-term, but have to try and step it up a notch to get an A overall in the class (what can I say, I can't break my straight-A records I held in high school). I had a printed photo mid-term in my History of Photo class, but we ended up getting through everyone's photo critique but mine. I had to wait a whole week to get to that point and now I have to wait another week to see if mine is ok. It's just a bit annoying. I also found out in my English class that the really loud, annoying man is definitely no longer in class. My teacher was calling role and he was off the list! I think I can make it the rest of the semester pretty painlessly now. I hope anyway.

Work is going well too. I am pretty good on the register already (to their surprise, but not mine lol). The other night we had an event in our store. I guess it was supposed to be our grand opening or something. There were a lot of corporate people there looking down their noses at all of us. Meals on Wheels was catering, so it was a pretty big thing going on. I had fun working and it seemed to kind of unite all of the employees there too. It was a good thing for us. I still am trying to get used to standing for hours and hours at a time. I haven't done that since May, and now it's making me come home exhausted. I feel more comfortable being incredibly busy again, though. It makes me feel less useless.

When I ring people up, I am supposed ask if they want to get a membership card for Harry & David. Well I asked one woman when she was paying and she got very excited because the picture that was used on the card was a photograph she actually took. She said she had heard they were going to use it, but hadn't seen it anywhere. I told her I am going to school at AAU for photography and she told me that she graduated form AAU. She ended up giving me her email address and told me to keep in touch with her because the company she works for in SF has a lot of internship opportunities. She was really cool and it would be really awesome if something like that worked out for me. Cross your fingers! Either way, she was a really nice woman and it would be cool to just have someone to talk to that knows how this school and city work.

Sorry, no photos today. Life has gotten a bit crazy. I'll have some next time! Now it's time to get some homework done and get a cup of tea :)
