So I went to Walgreen's today to buy a hand held vacuum for the dog hair all over. I hate seeing my old managers and answering questions of why I left without insulting them. How was I supposed to say I got sick of the managers riding their GED high horse and extra $1.25 an hour. Anyway, the vacuum sucks, like its so horrible I feel like returning it. But refuse to return so, guess thats a little cognitive dissonance for ya.

Yay! Just got a call from the Red Cross on Delaware, I start working there next week. Its only part time because I'm talking summer courses, but it beats Walgreen's.

I am taking this Advanced Writing course and the teacher doesn't check any of the work until the end when you have to hand in the final portfolio with all the essays. There are 5 essays, I did the first one and when the class realized he didn't check them and told us to save it, we didn't do any of the rest. Of course, now I am screwed because I have 4 essays to complete by Friday. I work well under pressure, so if I take my time outlining and carefully planning what I will say, I can spew out an essay every 25-40 minutes or so. (They only have to be 2-3 pages). He's an easy grader though, so I hear. One of those "Everyone gets an A for effort" professors. I wish I would have started sooner.

Next week is finals week. I'm not really stressed about it but I just want it all to be done so I can take my couple of weeks off before going back.

I was going to join the Buffalo Athletic Club, I called and asked for prices and they scheduled me for an appointment. I guess thats how expensive they are... too expensive to lose a sale without giving you a sales pitch first. I asked at school though and the gym is open all summer, and I'm already paying for the service so I might as well use the school gym.

I was telling (e:girlon8wheels) earlier how great swimming is for the body. After a week of swimming for about an hour or two, I got more toned than going to the gym for 2 weeks. Also, swimming is good for controlled breathing. So when I started swimming more often, I was able to stay on a treadmill for longer period of time before decreasing the speed, haha. I haven't done much of it lately though, so I hope the school pool will be open this summer. If not, do any of you know of a public or private pool in the area?

Why are all these sitcoms having Thanksgiving episodes around this time?
