Update- May 19, 2010

I'm afraid that there isn't any "new and exciting" news to report. Life is pretty mundane right now. I'm still taking my classes for my Masters in elementary education. Counting the class I'm taking now, I think that I only have 3 more classes to go before I do my student teaching. That's exciting and scary at the same time.

This weekend I'm starting work at my summer job at Bay Harbor, in Petoskey. There are some new stores opening... Mac Professionals, Segway of Michigan and Cheekade Meekade. Mac Pros and the Segway store are in the same place and the Cheekade Meekade store is around the corner. Cheekade Meekade is a kids store that's opening. They'll have kids clothes and toys. Mac Pros is a Mac store. It's not owned by Apple but they will have Mac products. They'll also have an iPad lounge where you can rent an iPad and have an opportunity to see what they're like. Unfortunately, we won't be able to sell iPads, Apple has an exclusive contract with Best Buy, but at least customers will have an opportunity to use one and see what they're like so they can be better educated on them before deciding to buy one. I'll start out working at the Cheekade Meekade store but I'll be trained to work at all the stores. Here's the company website: http://www.macprofessionals.com/. This site has information on the Segway part of the company: http://www.segwayofmichigan.com. There's not a website for the Cheekade Meekade store yet but I'm sure there will be eventually.

Other then the job update, there's not much else to talk about.
