woo no more work for me! i was pretty busy today at work. i had to type up a lot of INS papers. it was ok though. it was my last day so i didn’t mind.
my boss gave me my last check. she gave me a bonus! when i first saw the check i was confused because it was so much. then she’s like, “the rest of the money is for your college fund!” woohoo. i said, “thank you soooooo much!” i was so happy. i had no idea she would do that. i stayed a little later to finish some more documents. then we said our goodbyes. =) it was pretty interesting to learn about all this legal stuff. i had no idea about how complicated the process is for one to become a citizen or the selling of a property. my boss mainly does bank closings, real estate, and immigration cases (if you can even call them that).
oh so some lady called the office and i picked up and it sounded like she was speaking mandarin, but i could not understand a word. she sounded very muffled. i kept saying, “i don’t understand” in mandarin, and she continued to speak as if i’d understand her if she kept repeating herself. finally my boss is like ok let me talk to her. i gave her the phone and she amazingly understood the lady. after she got off the phone, she told me that the lady’s mandarin was very hard to understand. she was probably from a different part of china. weird!
in other news, i got my compact flash from amazon.com. woohoo! this time i formatted the compact flash card so it won’t break when i’m in the middle of taking important pictures (like derek jeter and the yankees!) too bad i still haven’t gotten my finance textbook. i called ecampus.com and the lady told me that since i picked the free shipping it could take up to 14 days for it to arrive. my boyfriend might have to come pick up the textbook before he visits me during labor day weekend. i’m hoping the book will arrive before i leave on wednesday. i can’t believe i have to go back to crappy pittsburgh in less than a week. it’s so yucky there.
no chinese food! argh.
i watched some tv today. i was watching some movie on usa with mark wahlberg and reese witherspoon. i remember checking the tv guide for the name, but i already forgot. mark wahlberg plays an aggressive stalker/ex-boyfriend. crazy boys. anyway, that’s enough babble for now. <3
