(no subject)

Made it to class, 5 minutes late, to find that nearly everyone else either:
- hasn't started (or isn't asking any questions at all)
- hasn't finished test1a, when we were supposed to be starting in on test1c this week

The guy who sits behind me seems in about the same place I am - on test 1c. So... I'm in the upper third now. He and I both agreed, though, that we know we don't have time to mess around - we both have crazy busy late Octobers. But.. I'm generally reassured. This week was on scheduling algorithms - and I love a good algorithm. That was kind of fun.

Take THAT, Anthropologie and Atrium Mall!!

Cute Pants Quest, Part II:

Having given up on Atrium, and feeling dubious about Chestnut Hill (being just across the street), I decided to try the cheap & local solution - Filene's Basement - for trying, again, to get some cute, weekend-friendly pants.

Not only do they have a fair share of size 16s, but I turns out I actually fit a 14, which they have even more of. AND, I managed:
- 2 pairs of DKNY jeans
- 2 snazzy belts
- 3 pairs of Halloween socks

For $85 - the price of the cheapest of the jeans in the Atrium Mall.

Then I went across the street, grabbed some quick & yummy soup from the Soup Factory and came back to work - in an hour!

Bite me Atrium Mall. I doubt I'll be tempted to return.
