The semester is nearing an end, and honestly I have been wanting it all to be over weeks ago! My finals are next week and I only have 3, because one of my professors decided 7:30AM was way too early to take an exam so we are having it this Friday instead and then we have to turn in a take home essay before next week is over. Works for me. Granted my vampire exam is at 7:30 as well so that still sucks!

I am waiting for my next class to start, my Slavic Vampire class. Actually …. I am in it now and I think we are watching a movie. I love movie days Although I have no idea what it is … I think. It may be Blade since we’ve talked about that some or it could even be Interview With a Vampire since we read a different Anne Rice book recently. I feel so out of the loop, watch … we won’t even watch a movie now haha! Edit: We’re only watching 10 minutes of Blade, oh well! But we are learning about Slayers and have already discussed buffy so woot. 

Enough of boring babble. WHEN DID IT BECOME DECEMBER?! Seriously. I mean sure I am not complaining but wow, time flies. And now it’s time for the typical December question: What do YOU want for Christmas/Holidays?

For me, I had a hard time thinking. I gave my mother a small list since she’s been helping me pay for stuff since I have moved (didn’t seem right to ask for a lot, even though my mother doesn’t mind but I do!). But the big item that I would like is a new phone! I am waiting until probably January (so it can be a Christmas/birthday gift) or maybe even a few months after. I even organized my Amazon wishlist into categories for my friends haha. Here are the items I told my mother I would like:

• Bathrobe
• Jurassic Park DVD Set (or just the first Jurassic Park)
• Blueberry Candy Canes
• Disney DVDs
  • Aladdin
  • Alice in Wonderland
  • Lion King
  • Beauty & The Beast
• Plus anything random (clothes, shoes, etc).

My mom is good at picking things out that I like, which is fine with me! Since last week will be marking the end of the school semester that means I’ll be working more plus have more time for site stuff, I have a few smallish project ideas that I have started to work on slowly Hopefully I actually do them …

I started my job at Target on the 22nd of October, and so far so good! I trained for over a week and last night was officially my first day on my own (although Friday and Saturday people called out so I was pretty much on my own anyways). Job isn’t hard at all, I basically get assigned a section in the store (I am hardlines, so that’s like toys, electronics, etc. all hard flooring areas) and I put stuff back on the shelves and just generally make sure the area looks nice. And of course I also help customers find things and what not, which is a pain so far since I am not sure where everything is.

Everyone I work with is very nice and helpful, so woot. My only complaint is having to work so many days in a row, since I am full time student. This schedule I am working Friday-Monday (I am glad today is Monday, I am so tired!) and next week I work Friday-Tuesday! Thankfully some days I don’t go in until 4, which is nice but every night I close (Target closes at 10 on everyday but Sunday which is at 9), but we still have clean the store even after so I may not leave until 10:30 or 11 or so. I am also hoping to get some random weekend off soon so I can go home and visit my family, it’s been months and I miss my dog lol. Bright side of it all? I finally have a job and of course since it’s the holidays I can now buy nice presents! My sister and I talked about getting our mother a nice digital camera (she still uses film), and my sister is so awesome she told me she’ll pay for the whole thing since she knows I am a college student. But I am going to show our mother how to use it, buy her a case for it, and a memory card + if we get it at Target I get to use my discount!

Class is starting in about 5 minutes so I suppose I should pay attention eh? I am so ready for Thanksgiving break though, at least we get Monday off!. How was everyone’s Halloween? I didn’t do anything, but my friend and I ordered a pizza so that was fun haha.
