I would like to point out how crappy the weather has been. On Tuesday, there was so much slush, I had to change my socks twice in one day. I stepped in so many dirty slush puddles I lost count! Now it’s super cold again. I actually asked my friend to see if he was driving to school for our night class. I never ask people for rides! Good thing the class was cancelled due to our professor’s illness.

In other news, I ordered two interview books from Amazon. I decided to buy a cd too because I wanted to qualify for the free shipping. Why should I pay 5 dollars for shipping when I don’t get the package any faster? I got a confirmation e-mail on Tuesday that my stuff had been shipped out. By Wednesday morning, my books were already in Pittsburgh. I love it! I got the Josh Kelley cd. I got it because it was only $10.99 and it was recommended by Amazon! I listened to some songs on the site, and I recognized his first single, “Amazing”. I’m not sure where I’ve heard it from, but it’s pretty good.

Next Tuesday I have my first quiz for Business Law. On Thursday I have my International Relations mid-term. On Friday I have my interview with fun Deloitte. I’m really nervous for the interview. I learned from one of my interview books, that it’s worse not to have any questions for your recruiter than to show up late or even look bad. This weekend I will need to come up with at least ten questions to ask my recruiter.

Grace’s parents are coming today and we are going to Wal-mart. I’m really excited. I have my shopping list all ready! I wonder when Spring will get here because I’m tired of all this snowy, cold, and windy weather!

Wow, this last semester of college rocks so far. I only have 3 real classes, and I’m taking 3 gym classes. I’ve been pretty relaxed in all my classes. I’ve decided to take Business Law, Theories of International Relations, and Marketing Communications. In my marketing class, we are actually working with a real ad agency and a client. Guess who our client is? The Pittsburgh Pirates! I know they are a really crappy baseball team, but it’s still pretty exciting. At the end of the semester, we are going to present in front of the ad agency, and they will decide which group has the best idea, and then implement it. This is cool because that’s how they do it in the real world (kind of). This project is definitely going to give me experience that I so desperately need in marketing/advertising. The professor is really nice too. I’ve noticed that all my marketing professors have been really easy and laid-back. Too bad not all CMU professors are like that.

It’s been snowing on and off in Pittsburgh. I hate how the slush gets on my jeans/pants. It’s gross. :x I hear that it’s really cold in NY and Boston. For once Pittsburgh isn’t that cold. Ok, that’s it for my short update. <3

Wow, that was the longest MT upgrade ever. I posted on the MT support forum asking why my upgrade didn’t work. I even e-mailed my host. I fixed it all by myself! Hurrah. I don’t feel like a total moron. Anyway, I don’t really know why I decided to upgrade MT; maybe it was because I was bored at home. The problem was that I was not uploading some of the files the right way. I decided to ditch FlashFXP and try LeechFTP. I made sure I uploaded in ASCII and tada, it worked!! Yay.

I would update you guys with my crazy food weekend, but I don’t want to bore you to tears. I just want to say congratulations to my cousin, Alice and her fiance Mike. I can’t wait for your wedding in 2005.
