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.
School sucks! Turn back now! It is naught worth it. I can’t stand doing homework. I’d rather be doing a thousand other things right now. Make it stop!

Two holes are perfectly fine for any aspect of the Empire.
