the end of one, the start of another

as the semester begins to come to a close, i am busy studying and outlining final essays, making sure i don't have any outstanding assignements that i might have overlooked and forgotten to turn in. i am looking forward to a break over the christmas holiday - a break however that will be filled with work. i will most likely be working more hours at nordstrom, as this is the bussiest time of year.

today was extremely busy, i helped one woman go through the whole store and find the gifts for all those on her list, i gift wrapped all her packages and then i took them all out to her car for her - which by the way i wish i had put my coat on before exiting the building in my less than warm blouse...it was quite cold in the green garage this afternoon.

i have 3 finals left, so i hope those go well! good luck to all art and non art students on their finals!

also, props to the studio majors, i have seen the work displayed in the light well as well as the cora stafford and the work is very impressive!!!

merry end of the semester!

only one week after this and then i am one more semester closer to graduating! i have one of my final papers completed - that was on Camera Lucida by Roland Barthes, i have one paper to write on the social history of Diego Rivera, i have a special project to finish, one history unit and 4 exams - then i am finished! i am so excited for christmas this year, it is the first year i am gainfully employed with an employer who acctually pays above minimum (and i mean minimum) wage! so i can afford to buy thoughtful, lovely gifts for my loved ones. i have all of my christmas shopping selected - and on hold at nordstrom ( my place of employment) because wednesday is an employee shop day which means 30% off!!!!! which helps a great deal - and what a coincidence that nordstrom scheduled an employee shop day on the same day as pay day?!? hmmm....

i love the cooler weather, it is lovely, i just hope it lasts! i have been eagerly waiting for it to arrive. all of my house is decorated, even the outside - i am pleased with the result this year - it looks awesom.

well back to the social history of Rivera!
