Busy bee

Midterms are under way. I completed one for my Photoshop class on Friday and am fairly sure I did well. I will find out for sure on Friday this week. I have a midterm tomorrow as well, but there isn't a test involved. I had to take 4 photos and print them and include a few written paragraphs explaining what I was tying to accomplish with them. They have to relate to an early photographer or photographic process. Last midterm I have is my online class which is basically 20 questions instead of the normal 10 per class. Easy stuff. My English class doesn't even have one at all. So this means I am officially halfway though the semester and October is FLYING by! I love it!

I started my new job today as well. I work at Harry & David. It's pretty easy so far with a lot of the products I'm used to selling from the Proper Pot in NC. It's funny though, even though I told the ladies that work there that I am familiar with the products, they keep talking to me like I have no idea what I'm doing. Some are all much older than me and I think they assume that because I'm young, I have no experience. It just bugs me that they don't believe me when I say I understand. This one lady asked me if I had any retail experience. When I told her that the last store I worked in had gourmet products and I worked there for 4.5 years, I don't think she believed me. It's pretty funny. These women aren't even my superior. They are sales people just like me :)

Anyway, I've just been working, doing school, and getting annoyed with my building. Either the elevator is broken, the internet is down, or my heater won't work. Always something. Ahh the life of living in a dorm... can't say I love it. My roommate and I did decorate our lovely skeleton man last night. He's going drag for Halloween.
He is beautiful, don't you think? :)
