A bookstore entry. Haven't done one of these in a few weeks.

I've gotta say, I'm going to miss this place when the year ends. As lame as it sounds, in a lot of ways this is more than just a job to me. When I came to this strange new city this past fall, the first people I met were my coworkers. Though I'll admit I initially kept a respectful distance from most (I didn't want to be that weird clingy guy), as this term is starting to wind down I'm finding myself fraternizing more and more. The only thing I'm curious about is whether or not I'll keep in touch with many of these folks when I'm gone - I guess what it really comes down to is whether or not I've made a lasting impression on my peers here in these eight short months.

Anyway, I've settled into a nice routine with my shifts, closing Wed-Fri has given me a chance to work with different people than last term (and is a welcome change to working exclusively in the mornings surrounded by fulltime folk). During my shift tonight I've been reading the current copy of Alternative Press - they've made a smart move during the slow winter season by naming the top 100 bands to watch this year. They also tell the reader who would like the band, basically by saying they're 'for fans of Franz Fredinand' for example. A neat idea, which should give me some more names to fill up my hard drive with! So yeah, check it out...

Jill (my soup) needs the comp, and I think I've digested most of my break food, back to the 'grind' I go.

Oh, in other news...my transcripts were mailed today!
