In honor of Earth day (yes, I know I am a day late) I bought a reusable shopping bag. It's a small step but I figure for 99 cents it was worth it and then I don't have plastic bags all over my apartment.

Now, right now I should be going through my stuff and get rid of what I don't need but I'm really too lazy at the moment. I know I shouldn't put it off too long but right now I can't be bothered. I have 3 months still!

A quick post. I've applied for a transfer. The paperwork has been filed and by the end of August I am going to be a new resident of New York City, most likely Brooklyn! Exciting no?

Spring Break!

I am no longer in school but that isn't stopping me from taking Spring Break! I'm pretty sure that Tony, one of my managers isn't too pleased about it because I took this week off, my friend Jessica took this week and Jackie took a day off (3 days total because of we get 2 days off anyway) to go to St. Louis with me and then all the other students that work with us. Now the only reason I'm taking this week off is because I have too. If I don't use my vacation before the end of this month, I lose it. I personally thinks that sucks. Why should I be punished for not using my time off. I think it should carry over my unused days but it doesn't work that way so oh well. I really don't have that big of plans for the first couple of days. Today is St. Patrick's Day, so that means later I will go out drinking. I think I make potato soup or is that not a good idea? potato famine anyone? Wednesday, Jackie and I are going to St. Louis. It's not quite Vegas, which was our first choice but it will still be a fun time. Maybe, we will hit some riverboat casinos while we are there. She has never been before so I think we will have to go up in the Arch. Other then that, I think we are just going to wing it while we are there. I'm just so excited not to be working this week! Yeah Spring Break!

Snow Day

You know that the weather is bad when the University of Iowa is closed. I have lived in Iowa City for six years and I have never seen that happen before. Ever! I remember having to climb over snow drifts to get to classes when I went to school there because they wouldn't cancel classes, except for the intelligent professors who cancelled their classes because it was the right thing to do. The Mall closed today too. That was a surprise! Apparently, they didn't even open this morning but I guess no one told that to my ASM Annie, who made it too work and then is now stuck there. Oh, well, She has a lot of free time to put up tables and endcaps now without the pesky annoyance of customers. What I would give to have all that free time. Not that I want to leave my warm apartment or anything. I'm pretty stoked to get a snow day. I haven't had one since High School. The only thing that really sucks about this is that I'm not going to get paid for today but then again, the pay off is that I don't have to go to work today. So, now I have three days off in a row because yesterday was my day off and tomorrow is my other day off. That's pretty sweet. Now, I am going to enjoy my snow day. I think I do some reading, maybe later watch a movie. Now, if only I was forward enough thinking and bought more Diet Coke because I am almost out.
