School Supplies

I recently started taking a couple of marketing classes. Marketing Research & Information, and Marketing Communications. The Research & Information one is pretty easy, because that’s what I’ve been doing for five years, but the other one is interesting. Anyway, I found that I was significantly lacking in appropriate supplies for the classes, which MEANS that I got to go school supply shopping. YAY!! I love school supplies. Now, in these modern, crazy times, the teachers post PowerPoint presentations to a website, which I then print out with space for notes and bring to class, which means that I need binders.

In England, the paper is taller, but the binders only have two rings. Explain this to me. This makes ZERO sense. Zero. Oh sorry, naught. Naught sense. Anyway, I got two purple two-ringed stupid binders, some paper, and a hole puncher. After I bought the school supplies, I walked down toward the book store (via the Gap, of course) to meet Andy, but on the way, I acquired a free sample of deLICIOUS hot chocolate. We’re talking nearly City Bakery quality. All I can say is that they did the right thing by handing out free samples, because now I know they have wonderful chocolate, and I might just pick some up should the occasion arise (take note future visitors).

Now I get to punch holes in all of the notes I have so far and put my binders together while watching the Olympics. Perhaps it says something about me that I’m really looking forward to that. Not sure.
