An-ti-ci-pa-tion

Really. I couldn't be more excited to leave. One of the people I'm leaving with finally opened up to me and mentioned alcohol. There was a woman at work today who was looking at the room her daughter would live in. She used to be a travel agent and told us about her travels in Europe. She told us that we should go to the biggest Catholic church in Amsterdam and behind the church is the Red Light District.
"Have you heard of the Red Light District?" she asked.
Joe and I laughed. Apparently, in the Red Light District, there are people calling from windows and you walk to a store front, go inside, and they close a curtain in the window. How odd.

But that's not why I'm excited to leave.

This morning was my last time at the Admission Office. I'm finally realizing that my summer is nearly over and that it's time to say good-bye.

The book, Sex, Drugs, & Cocoa Puffs always is hidden around this book store. Sorry about that rant, but I'm at work, and for some reason I'm always finding it missing! People, for some reason, hide that book more than any other. I'm also missing Fight Club and I have no idea where it is or what has been done to it. I hope the boss didn't pull it because it hasn't sold in a while. She's been doing that lately with a whole ton of good books in the store. Example... she pulled Junky. How can you pull junky? What will I sell to the isolated 15 year old when they come in and need their world opened for them? I can't sell them Junky because we got rid of it. I'm sad.
