I registered for second quarter this morning!

I am taking Effective Speaking, College Mathematics, Color & Design Theory, Merchandising Strategies, and Concepts in Trend Forecasting.

this quarter has been great and I have really enjoyed everything I am learning but I am already so excited for next quarter.

especially to see what Merchandising Strategies and Concepts in Trend Forecasting have in store :)

this week and next week is final project galore.

today I have a final presentation in my Retail Environment class and I am so nervous.

I am awful at speaking in front of people, guess that Effective Speaking class will be helpful!

I also have my final Designer Notebook due which we have been working on the entire quarter. it is a notebook full of twenty designers we have learned about including information about the designer's history, signature designs, vocabulary words to describe the designer, and a critical analysis and future trend analysis. in that class I also have a quiz over a number of designers and a group presentation about Monique Lhuillier.

after a hectic day of school, I have to work until close!

I am currently working at a family owned skate shop that has locations all over southern california, and I could not have asked for a better job.

I love my co-workers and I am learning so much. I get to help put product out on the floor and merchandise different areas of the store. one of my very first shifts me and one of my co-workers did the entire Christmas display. it's been really great.

now it's time to brew up a pot of coffee and get ready for this big day.
