Costco Excitement

Yesterday after I said good-bye to my best friend in the world I went with my mom to Costco. I love going to Costco. I looked at the books and movies but restrained myself from buying any...haha. But what I really went there to buy was a new backpack. I get bored with my backpacks and as a result get a new one at least every year sometimes more often. The only exception was the backpack I had for two whole school years. It was white courderoy may it rest in peace because the last week of school last year it broke and all my stuff fell out. So even more reason to not keep a backpack that long and feed my school supply addiction. But this new backpack is sooo pretty, it's brown plaid and sturdy and has a lot of pockets. It's a dream. I scoped it out 4 or 5 times at costco before I actually bought it. It was a long process but I'm happy with my $15 purchase. Big spender I know.

The other thing I bought that makes me even more happy is a 'teach yourself Italian' computer program. I decided to do this because I don't have time to take a 4 credit class that would teach me Italian, or the French I'm going to add to it. So I got myself a program and I'm taking my destiny into my own hands. I decided to do Italian first because I'm going to Italy next year after I graduate. Of course if you ask my father he will deny this saying that I have to actually graduate first. He's just in denial. It's statistically almost impossible for me to not graduate so...I'm going to Italy next year. So learning a little bit of Italian I thought would be valuable. I'm not going to know enough to really talk to people but maybe I can know enough to understand and maybe help myself out a little bit. Ha actually just last night I was talking about this to my dad and he pulled a scenario that would make me not graduate: my boyfriend could get me hooked on drugs and I wouldn't care about school. Haha possible I said but highly improbably. The boyfriend part or the drug part he asked?? Haha both. But bottom line, I'm learning Italian and that makes me happy. Then maybe next year I'll buy the French program and teach myself some French.

What a bizarre scenario for your father to pull out there. I think my dad is more the kind where he has all the fears of horrible things that could happen to his daughters stored in his head, where they will remain securely locked in the hopes that none of them ever happen. However, if your dad needs assurance that you might still graduate despite the occurrence of that situation, I personally know of three of my students who attended at least 60% of my classes high on something, and only one of them failed. The other two didn't do that great, but in a semi-lucid moment at the end of the semester, they begged me for help and completed an extremely difficult extra credit assignment to boost them over the 60% mark.

Haha well I hope if I do find a boy stupid enough to try to get me to do that, and I do it, then I have a teacher like you who will help me pass regardless of whatever my drug of choice happens to be.

But since you're living with me we'll be monitoring your every move and this won't happen.

Also, where does Costco have backpacks? Never seen them there,,, Do you know that my main fuel for taking a class is to buy school supplies? Good reason huh? And I hate watching water polo because I FEEL like I am actually drowning while watching. Because yes it is hard and dang those people for grabbing my legs and trying to drown me, ahhhh! Heidi I'm drowning!! Help I'm drowning as I speak of it!!
