4 more classes until the weekend. my friends and i went to see “whale rider” on tuesday. it’s a really good movie. lynne, who was sitting next to me cried throughout the entire movie. it was quite sad, but amazingly i didn’t break down and start sobbing like my friends. haha. good thing we were the only people in the theater. actually there were 2 other people, but they sat behind us. the movie won some film festival; i think the sundance film festival. it’s about new zealand’s aborigines. it’s pretty cool. their accents are very nice. anyway, i started work yesterday and i already had my first rude patron of the semester. this guy asked me if we provide bags. i said no, but my boss nancy said maybe we have a grocery bag in the back. so i went to ask arnette, and lucky enough we had a spare bag. i gave it to him, and he looked at me rudely and said, “i think this bag will break”. i checked out his THREE books and gave them to him. a couple of seconds laster he comes back and throws the bag at me and walks out. there was no “thanks, but i’ll carry these three little books by myself”. how rude. arnette was very annoyed when he came back and gave me the bag. what kind of person can’t carry THREE books? what a weakling. work was fun, arnette asked if i lost weight. haha. i guess it’s kinda obvious. yay! i refuse to gain weight this year! i have chinese culture and society at 10:30 it’s a pretty interesting class because a british man is teaching it. i had to buy 5 books for this class. it better be worth it! i also have publishing on the www this afternoon, but corporate strategy is cancelled. yay!!
