Online Shopping
Today I had to do some online "research" for some windbreakers/fleece jackets (I hope the latter!) for the park's volunteers this fall.
I hate Online Shopping!
My boss specifically instructed me to recommend something I'd like to wear, and for that I prefer fleece. But I don't' understand how I'm supposed to find these things when I can't see or touch them. We have heavy coats for volunteers already, and she wanted new lighter weight jackets for fall and spring. I can handle that in a store, online you never know how heavy the fabric will be when it ships to you.
I'm sure some people enjoy the world of online shopping. I have only ordered books online, and I will never ever order electronics or clothing online, even if it is cheap. Quite frankly, eff that! I wanna know what I'm getting for my money. Besides, as an avid fan of retail therapy, why waste a perfectly good opportunity to get some exercise and some well-deserved new stuff without having to wait weeks for it to ship to you?
Call me instant gratification queen. *EEEK* this could be bad news. But it's something I already knew about myself.
*Stares at closet full of clothes* who needs online stores anyway?

Last Two Weeks
I am coming up on the final sprint of my internship. Hopefully, with all the work I have to get done, my last two weeks will fly by. I have to get this trunk finished!
But the 17th won't be my last day at Carver. I'm making up a lost sick day on the 29th, as I said below volunteering at Prairie Day on the 12th of September, and probably start front desk volunteering again, but possibly switching to Wednesdays. This next semester should be interesting. I will absolutely be taking less hours than I am used to taking, having carried 18-21 the last 3 semesters. I will be "Officially" taking 16, but one will be the 1hr credit for this internship I'm currently working, leaving me with 15.
They are as follows:
-Spanish 300 (Literature) (Failed this course, retaking it hopefully can make a B if I attend every class and work really hard) (3 credit hours)
- Upper Level History: Latin American Revolutions (with my advisor, only meets one day a week, shouldn't be too bad) (3 credit hours)
-Upper Level History: Cold War (with a teacher I love, if he teaches it the same way he taught the last course I took with him it will be easy as long as I read every day and turn in my assignments on time) (3 Credit Hours)
-Biology 100 online: yes, I have put this off until my very last semester. I hate bio! (4 credit hours)
-MIDS 401: Peer Mentor: mentoring a class of freshmen during their orientation class. I'm actually really excited about this one, but it will be a lot of work! (2 credit hours).
Plus the 1 hour credit for my internship.
Sounds all well and good. Shouldn't be too bad. I'll be working a lot (I'd like to not work at all and enjoy my last semester of undergrad, but alas, things cost money! Who woulda thunk?).
So I'm looking forward, past my last two weeks and onto vacation time and school starting. I'm always ready for school after the summer (even though my two summer school classes like to have killed me).
Pics from St. Louis will be up tonight!
