Thinking~
Hmm....every now and then i feel as if i'm not being as dedicated to my LJ as i used to be. Lately i've noticed i haven't posted anything of real merit or at least chronicled my day/week like in the good old days. Perhaps the loss of Russell has given me less to write about. Maybe i'm just more preoccupied with college. Hmm...well, things will turn out the way they turn out.

On another note, some people that come into the store are idiots. They have no idea what they're doing~ -_-; Someone today was trying to find our store and asked "Wait. Are you in Wilmar or St. Cloud?" *headdesk* Definitely not Wilmar. And then there was an old man in today who thought he knew how to use all of the editing equipment but he obviously didn't. Everytime his film would get caught in the projector and i ran over to help him, he'd just get his hands in the way of what i was trying to fix and make it worse. Plus he smelt like old, sour milk. Blegh~

And i'm looking forwards to this Friday~ I get to see all of my friends~ Yay! ^-^ We're gonna have another game night like we did over Thanksgiving. I'm thinking i might try and convince everyone to go ice skating too~ It isn't terribly cold this winter so they can't complain~ ^-^ Especially after we went sledding without sleds last year!

Saturday i have a family christmas party to go to, and i'm both happy and not looking forwards to it. It'll be fun because i missed the other family get togethers and this is the one with the rich relatives whose house i absolutely love~ It'll be not so fun because we have to drive about an hour to get there, the food is never very good, and the gift exchange rarely yields anything not out of the dollar store. And i'm afraid everyone there will be asking me about how college and engineering are going. -_- I still haven't found an opportune moment to tell my parents i've switched to English.

Heather and Tristan stopped into work yesterday to see me and i ended up telling them then~ Lol~ it's so much easier to tell these types of things to them. Which is to be expected. My relatives...i'm not sure what they would say. I'll probably end up acting along, pretending i still intend to go with engineering and then tell my folks when the timing is right. Knowing me, i'll call them as i'm boarding the plane back to Indiana and let them know then. That way, if they want to discuss it more i can always claim the plane is leaving and i have to turn of my cell~ ^-^ Nah. I wouldn't do that.

However, i think mother might already suspect that i'd rather do something with english. The other night in the car i was complaining about some books that i'd been told were very good but had been rather disappointing. She suggested i become a book critic or editor or something. She's done this a few times before, too; brought up jobs such as being an english teacher or something related to books and words. I think father would accept it quite quickly, but i still hate to let him know i've changed my mind. he's always so enthusiastic about me going into engineering. But i know they'll accept whatever i choose to go with~ That's why i love my parents soooooo~~~~ much! ^-^ And i still need to get father a Christmas gift~ @_@ Talk about last minute shopping~
