and I just keep swimmin'

So it's my week off from school. No parties this time, but I did manage to do a weekends worth of stuff in one day.
Friday September 26, I had my final exam in my Copyright law class. Before the exam, the teacher announced the students with the highest grades and gave out art gallery books. I got the second highest grade so, yes, I got my art gallery book and love it. Thanks Mr. Darnold!
Next, I wizzed through the exam then trotted over to the train station to meet my friend Marci. We jumped on the red line and headed downtown with a plan to see the Texas State Fair parade scheduled to roll down Main street at noon. Well, we got down there early so we ventured out to Klyde Warren Park then strolled toward the parade route. We took pictures and talked to everyone, of course. The parade was a lot of fun and when it was done, we followed half of the crowd back to the train stop and headed to the fair grounds. Marci had purchased a season pass for about how much two tickets would cost and her pass came with a free ticket, so she gave it to me. yay! We didn't get on any rides, even with my free admission, I could only afford to get a corn dog and a drink! But we got free samples and give aways at the exhibit buildings and walked around and took pictures.
I left her there because she still had some shopping to do. I ventured the train on my own and found my way back to school where I left my car. I headed home, showered and proceeded to the Greek Festival where I met up with Evelyn and Tim. They only stayed a little while, but I enjoyed the food, watching the dancing, the music and the cooking demos.
Now I am applying for a new part time job (for either clerical or graphic design) due to the financial situation my school has left me in. I hope I get one of the new jobs because  I have absolutely had it with retail. I don't have to work again until saturday and already I'm dreading it.
For now, enjoy these pictures and videos:

Sometimes you just can't find the right way to stop a truck...
