morning mocha

[kismet09]

Orientation today and then another four day weekend. It turns out there is no Orientation on Monday, so I am going to chain myself to the computer and start getting these stupid med school composite letters written. I feel like a huge slacker, and it doesn't help that the person who's supposed to be doing the bulk of the writing is an even bigger slacker than I am. I will also be going over all of the incoming science major transfer students' transcripts and providing them with a recommended schedule for the upcoming semester. We have four days of Orientation next week, so that task will probably take me the better part of a whole day this weekend. Whee.

My carpool will be taking a 8:45am class on Monday/Wednesday. Tim will be going up to campus to teach a 8:45am class on Tuesday/Thursday. I am destined to either become a morning person, or embrace my inner commuter and buy myself a car. I think I'll just up the coffee quotient and call it good. I've been getting up around 6:45 recently anyway, so I'm getting into practice. Thank goodness for Tim's baristabilities -- my iced mocha is perfect this morning.

I'm also forcing myself to read a little bit more right now, because I've been neglecting it. I'm reading the Social History of Knitting, paging through the current Washingtonian Magazine, and am about to start the curious incident about the dog book, whose title I don't exactly remember. I also put Sleeping with Schubert on my amazon wish list after reading about it in the Books section this weekend.

My mypoints.com account is up to 5700 points. I can afford a $50 bloomies gift certificate, which is tempting, but I want this money to stretch as far as possible. Anyone else on the awards program have recommendations?

Email me at lunchytime and I will come downstairs.
Chris made sure to give me "your" Gilmore Girls DVDs to return to you today! (You can borrow them for as long as you want, and then generously give them to me as a present.)

I always get either Target or Barnes and Noble gift certificates from mypoints, because I know I'll always buy books, and will always need things from Target. Yet, I can still "splurge" at either place, so it still feels fun.

I always go for Barnes and Noble gift certificates. I have one now to spend. I have more fun debating how best to spend it than I do with the actual purchase sometimes!

That's how I am with music club memberships. Sometimes I just surf through the pages picking what I might buy.

mypoints is awesome!

I spent mine on a $50 Macy's card, which was gone in a shirt and a pair of pants, which I still had to pay $10 for.

If you wanted real bang for your buck, there's always Old Navy.
