blog-worthy?

So far behind on my blogging - appologies to all.

I'm picking up more hours at work and more homework from school. Does this sound like a problem to anyone else???!!!!!

Midterm grades were better than I had expected: A, B+, and 3 Bs. I am still struggling with not being sure that I "fit in." All these people that I hang out with carry their sketch books and are always drawing and stuff. And they are the people who are getting all the As. And they are always like, Oh I have been carrying this for years. Yeah, HI. I haven't been doing that. This is all new to me. So I guess I'm thankful that I'm doing as well as I am. (Maggie says "the world is run by B students" and encourages me to not worry.) Although, I have decided that I will not be sleeping for the rest of the quarter. I have an incredible amount of work to do in the next 5 weeks. ACK!!!!!

I am working on my networking skills however. Working at the original Starbucks allows me to meet lots of people from headquarters. Fletch & I were on register and met this guy from the design department. He encouraged us to come and visit. So we have to figure that out. That was neat. Then it got shoved to the back of my mind as the line of customers got longer and longer and out the door and down the sidewalk..... All because it was Veteran's Day? I guess, but it was also not raining?

Let's see. What else have I done?

Beth & I went out to the Falls yesterday afternoon. We thought there was A LOT of water, but according to Tad, it was nothing compared to Tuesday when it crested. But whatever. It was really neat and I took a whole bunch of pictures. (That I can't share with you because I'm at school and not on my laptop. Maybe I different day???)

Saturday night, Beth & I went to Stacey's for pizza (& salad & pop & ice cream & cookies) and a movie. We agreed on "love actually." It was better than I had expected and am now thinking about buying it.

Friday night was a birthday/going-away work party - West Seattle is a little sketchy - I had no idea. I went by myself, hung out with Kevin & Christopher. Heather is from Rochester, NY, so we talked for a bit. But I left early with the guys and they were so incredibly sweet and took my home. I ended up playing Apples to Apples in 213 for a while, then cleaned my desk and went to bed.

Thursday night was where today's title came from. Walking home from class, carrying Kristen's stuff cuz she walked off with mine. Got out of class early - nice! Walking home with Jared & Ryan talking about eating at Subway. I was starving and said, well, if you don't mind, I'll stop by my place and drop this stuff off and join you. Turns out Jared was going on home, so Ryan stopped home with me and then we went to Subway. Discussed what sub to get and what to put on it and whether or not we were together when it was time to pay. Then we sat and talked about the order in which to eat chips/subs. And EVERYTHING else! It was really neat to have such a long interesting conversation with someone I had just met. (Did I mention that he's 6'3", really cute and only 19???????) Such is my life.

Well, I have to work on my photoshop exercises - since I am in class and all...

Missing everyone back east...
