School Bag in Hand

Last week I went on a little adventure to acquaint myself with the community college campus where I'll be starting class soon. I got my parking permit, paid my tuition, bought my textbooks and found my classes (both of which are in the same classroom, so that's easy!) I am slowly -but surely- adjusting to the idea of going back to school.

Then, over the weekend I went and got new pens and highlighters as well as a new notebook. I got my old backpack out from the back of my closet, and pre-organized everything.

The 2012 wall calendar I got has a dry-erase board segment, so I can leave myself memos and stuff. In fact, all of this is kind of starting to make my bedroom feel like a dorm room. Really, the only thing missing is the poster of Orlando Bloom I had up during my Freshman year at CLU.

Hmm...I wonder where that poster went...

Yo Ho, Yo Ho...

...a pirate's life for me!!
K, not really. I would hate to be a pirate. They smell bad and they're generally not nice people. Even 'good' pirates like Jack Sparrow and Will Turner still 'pillage and plunder and rifle and loot' even if they don't 'kidnap and ravage and not give a hoot'.
I'm not quite sure where I'm going with that...except that somewhere in there I wanted to mention that Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. And my mug will tie-in...I promise!!
My parents brought this back for me from Vegas. It's from the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. Which used to be pirate-themed...but has gone the way of most Vegas Hotel/Casinos and is now simply sexy themed. Sexy pirates, perhaps...I'm not sure.
Anyway...this was one of the few remnants of piracy left in the gift shop (according to mom)

swash, swash, buckle, buckle...do with this what you will just remember one thing...
