Thanksgiving

Back To Butler

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Katie

Today is the first day of school after break. Yesterday when I got back to campus I spent ten minutes just unpacking and then going straight to Irwin library. These next three weeks are going to be a struggle for me.

We have three weeks until we are done with semester and then once again on break. I’m not really worried about finals, but I am more worried about all the work before finals that could end up changing my grade. This week I don’t think I will be relaxed until Thursday at 215 when my weekend starts.

Besides having to do work again I am really happy to be back on campus. I missed it. Home was fun, but I was ready to come back. I loved being able to be with family and friends. I even got to see goats at my dad’s neighbors! They are so cute!

Anyway good luck to any college student for the next three weeks! We are almost done!

This Is Not Break

Posted on November 23, 2011 by Katie

This week is Thanksgiving Break, but you could have fooled me. I feel like I have barely been home except only to sleep, which is basically how I am when I am at school. I live only 25 minutes away from Butler, but I haven’t been back home since Fall Break. I try to stay away from home as much as possible so I actually feel like I am part of campus!

Although I missed home I missed working a lot. This may sound weird to people. Even though my job can be tiresome, stressful, and exhausting at times, I love the people I work with and I love the fact I get to look at clothes all day. I work at Forever 21 and as always here’s a look over my schedule.

Sunday: 12-8
Monday: 930-5
Tuesday: 11-7
Wednesday: 11-7
Black Friday: 6am – 4pm

Oh yes that is right I am working Black Friday. Last year on Black Friday it was my first day at Forever 21, you could say I am excited to experience Black Friday as an experienced person finally.

With all this work I haven’t really felt like I have been on break. I still have an 8 to 10 page research paper to write that’s due when I get back. I also have my business plan presentation to give when I get back and a paper to write due by Sunday. Most of my friends didn’t get on break until yesterday so everyone is finally home. Hopefully I get to see some of my best friends, but with my schedule who knows, it may have to wait until Christmas Break!

One thing I have been able to do is go to Butler games still and tonight there is a game, so GO DAWGS! Last game I got front row at Dawg Pound because there is basically no one here!
