first day on the floor

yesterday was my first official day on the floor at nordstrom. i made a slot of sales, i thought that my total net sales was at around $700 or $800, but when i looked it up on the computer before i punched out for the night it was at $1,390. so that was a nice surprise, especially since we work on commission! so that was a happy saturday! i have a lot of course work to get done today, i have 2 papers in history oh photography as well as the rest of my honors contract that i am doing for that class. i have a paper i need to start working on for latin american topics - it is on diego rivera and the social aspects of his life that attributed themselves to his art. then i also have a paper i need to work on for survey, but before i can do that i have to go to the kimball. then i have 3 more units of history homework i should get done...i have to work tomorrow after class, but then i have the rest of the week off until black friday. oh, the hustled pass of my life!

me in 'real life'

this semester is almost over and i can't believe it! i have had a busy weekend, going to dallas, going to highland village, i went to dinner tonight and then i went to see 'dan in real life' it was such an amazing film - the best i have seen all year. steve carrell was so awesome in his delivery and the supporting cast (diane weist, john mahoney, juliette binoche) were stellar. it is a must see, i higly suggest this film to everyone!!!

on friday i went to the first session of the 'medieval art symposium' it was pretty interesting, however, the session i went to was all english majors, not art history, so their papers didn't cover visual culture - only the geographic side of medieval studies. so, interesting, but not my area of study.

this week is going to be busy, i just got a new job and i have training tuesday, wednesday, and thursday - i have an exam on friday, a project due in history of photography, and a project i am working on for the president's council dinner that is on saturday. but the prize at the end of the road is thanksgiving - i am not a 'big eater' but i am looking forward to the holiday, family time, rest, and macy's parade! who doesn't love the parade?
this is me in real life.

home stretch

i cannot believe that the semester is almost over. it is now november and there are only a few weeks until finals - that is simply hard for me to grasp. i believe that i only have one paper left in each of my courses, one exam and two finals, so that is nice that the work load i have is almost complete. i am currently going through the interview process for a new job and i am really looking forward to that opportunity. i need to sit down and work on some of my internship applications this week, because due dates are coming up before you know it. there are now only 51 days until christmas...wow that is even harder to believe.

well, the home stretch is being made.
