it feels like fall today!
last evening it was so cool, and thankfully it is still cold today. i love cold weather!
i've been studying for my business law test which i have on wednesday. i really like the subject but it can sometimes get confusing with all the legal jargon and getting the laws straight. what is legal/illegal and what are the steps of litigation? there are a ton.
besides school, i've been working at Claire's at the outlet malls in san marcos, and i've liked it ok so far. i used to work for this same company a few years ago, and when i was looking for another job this is the first one that i found. i really wish i didn't have to work though.. after being laid off from my previous employment i was without a job for a whole week and it was so lovely. i've been working nonstop since i was 17. i've always had to pay for something. i guess that is life.
i am excited about ACL coming up pretty soon, i haven't been in years. i am going to go with my brother's fiancee, and i am pretty excited to get to know her, i've never even met her before! but she seems really cool and she has good taste in music, always a plus! i'm really happy for my brother in finding 'the one'. when my little brother comes back from his mission in two months i hope he doesn't jump into dating and marrying someone right away. i hope he takes his time, there is no rush! i have told him this, and hopefully he will heed my advice.
i've still managed to make time for reading even though i have been so busy with school and studying, and of course work. i always seem to have to have a book to read on the side, something that i can escape to and enjoy for a while. so far i have read a trilogy (i'm almost done with the last book), name Poison Study, Magic Study and Fire Study. excellent series if anyone wants something good to read. also, i am about to start on the last book of the Hunger Games trilogy. the last book is called Mockingjay, and i'm picking it up tomorrow. those books are so good i usually read them in about 2 days each.
i am going to Waterloo on Friday with some friends to go music shopping. i want to get the latest Tegan and Sara cd, i've heard some stuff on it and i really liked it. i also want to get the new Arcade Fire and the latest MIA cd, even though i hear it's not as good as her last album. but i'll give it a try. i wish i had more money for cds! i've got a new Ipod with 160 GB, and i've only used a sliver of the memory available. i could probably put movies in there if i wanted to, that's probably why people get it. but i'm still not sure about that.. speaking of Apple products, my laptop is still not fully functional. i have taken it to the apple store 5 times in attempts to figure out what the problem is with it. it just won't charge. if it does, it's very slow and stops charging after a while. i've done all i can in regards to repair and replacing the batter, to no avail. i don't think i'll go back to the store because i really don't know what else can be done. it seems they have tried their best, and thankfully they didn't charge me. but next time i am not so sure that i would buy another Apple computer, it seems like they have a lot of problems. but i guess that's with a lot of products, not just macs.
as an afterthought i thought i'd mention something that i've been thinking about this week. actually, nevermind, it's too long of a story and kind of pointless.
i'll try to update more often in hopes that others will too. :-) have a great week, everyone!
