Autumn Cleaning

Well I am at Newark airport. My flight to Cleveland was delayed but fortunately I can hang out in the Continental President's Club and enjoy the free beer. I am on my way with empty suitcases to stock up on my winter clothes in my mother's basement. As Esther says...happy shopping in your closet.

This week has been really low key which was nice because work is really busy right now. Registration and midterms are keeping the students busy. In addition to that my office is also busy with programing and such. I have also been asked to sub downtown for a month and work with freshmen. I will still be in my office one day a week and once December rolls around I will move back to the fashion department. I am excited because I keep getting more responsibilities and projects. I like to keep busy and fortunately I work in an office that is able to keep me busy. :) I really do enjoy the environment I work in and getting to know my advisees.

Esther and I went to the movies and saw Elizabeth the Golden Age. I recommend it even though Esther and I did get annoyed with it at one point. In a way over the top moment Clive Owen's character jumps off of a burning ship and there is the slow motion sequence of him diving underwater while the Spanish ship he has attacked catches fire. You see a horse jump off the boat and Esther and I just started busting out laughing. We were both convinced that Clive Owen was going to land on the horse, ride underwater, and jump onto the cliff where Cate Blanchette was waiting. That did not happen but other then that one over the top moment the movie was great. We also had dinner at a really cute restaurant themed from the book Don Quiote.

I am sad that I will not be here this weekend because all sorts of fun events go on around Halloween. But the weather is not that nice so I am not too upset. Well hopefully my plane will board soon so I should be off. Happy pumpkin carving ;)
