The past few days have just been a whirlwind of events trickling into tonight.
The week has really been a blur... just something that I wanted to get over with as soon as possible.
I got a job at Delia's at the mall today. I was absolutely overwhelmed-- retail is NOTHING like i expected it to be. The three girls I met were really friendly, and I know i'll get along with them and everything, but theres just SO much I need to learn & remember. I didn't realize how retail is SO much about being legit "sales people". I felt like I was a car salesmen for teen clothing. And theres a LOT of pressure... i guess theres secret shoppers that come in all the time, and gah. I feel like I was thrown into the whole thing when it's really not what I wanted. I really wish pac sun or esp. barnes & noble ever called me back. I feel like I would have fit in so much easier at either of those places. I'm only seasonal so it's only for 6-8 weeks, so really nothing to be worried about. And, I go in for training on Monday, and then I start working next Friday, which was really surprising to me. The manager said I'd only get 5-20 hours a week, which is perfect for me. I just hope everything works out, and then when my weeks are up I can find a job that better suits me. I just reallllly hope that I'm not terrible at it! I know it'll get easier once I get into the swing of things, but its tough for now.
After my "audition" for Delia's or whatever, I went to the Smith Art Museum in Northampton with my art class. The 5 most snotty kids in my class were the ones that wanted to go.. so it wasn't too exciting. But the art was really incredible, and I got to get everything explained to me by my professor which was nice. My class left, and since I drove myself, I stayed and looked at the rest of the museum by myself. I didn't realize how peaceful it was to just walk around a museum, looking at art by myself. I then spent an hour walking alone in northampton, which was also really relaxing... just what I needed. I went into this great bookstore, which i fell in love with pretty much. And of course I went into Faces. It was really nice to just hang out by myself for a while.
I haven't seen Colin much this week at all. We hung out last Friday, and of course we get ourselves in a messy situation..... and then he's been down at his dads when not in school 'cause they moved to waterbury. I always feel really guilty, mostly cause of him, that he doesn't see his dad ever, so I don't say anything. And it was really okay.... I think we needed a slight break from eachother. I saw him Monday for an hour between classes... and Wednesday I stopped by his work for like, 5 minutes. Other than that though, nothing. And I've been okay.
I'll see Colin tomorrow.... we might go see Twilight, not really sure. But definitely early to bed 'cause we gotta be up at 530 to catch the bus to NYC for 6. Yay! So excited. I can't wait to go. :)
I absolutely can't wait for thanksgiving. I think it's going to be fantastic!
