I Decide

A public Pro/Con List:

Reasons To Take Three Classes This Fall:
+ to be finished asap
+ because I do not do things halfway (ok, I do, but I'm used to taking the maximum amount of classes possible)
+ because what if* I only take two and then am even more busy in the spring or something. Or if the spring class schedules don't work out at all?

Reasons Not To Take Three Classes This Fall:
+ Money (Both for tuition and that is less time I could potentially work at BN)
+ I already work 45 hours at my "real" job plus what will be as much as possible at Barnes and Noble (at least 8 hours a week, but up to 20 or so)
+ What if all three classes have tons of work and I end up burnt out and crying in a corner somewhere?


I am waiting to find out if a class I found at UVA-NOVA can be substituted for the one I have on Tuesday. Once I find that out, I can really move forward with my decisions. Too bad these decisions need to be made in like, a day.

Viva Las Vegas

I had one of my awesome moments today where I said something before I really thought about it. I do that sometimes, usually when I'm tired or bored.

So a guy in the office (who may or may not be younger and not-ugly) says how he's going on vacation soon. (And this happened during the staff meeting, so everyone was there.) He joked he was going to get married which made us all laugh because he gives off that "player" persona. Anyway, I thought I heard him say Vegas so I exclaim:


"OH If you get married I will be SO jealous!"


Can you imagine how that could be mistaken?


Very quickly I said, "I mean, if you did the Vegas marriage thing. That came out wrong! I just meant that I've always said that if I go to Vegas I'm coming back married."



Luckily I realized that my best bet for avoiding any embarassment was to just stop talking. So I did.
