My work as a student is done for the semester. My work as an instructor is still heavy here, though, with several student portfolios still to be read and graded. I have to have my grades turned in by Wednesday afternoon, but that shouldn't be a problem.
Now, for the utterly sucky news: Media Play is going out of business. Just as I passed my millionth Replay point, too. I went there to do a bit of holiday shoppping just now, and the signs were plastered all over the place letting everyone know that they'd be closing soon. Apparently only the Media Play chain is being discontinued, as the cashier who rang me up told me that I could still use my Replay account at Sam Goody and Suncoast stores, but I don't know of any Suncoast stores near here, and the only Sam Goody I know of is down in Bowling Green, and it's basically got half the selection of music, video games, and DVDs, and absolutely no books whatsoever.
I bought up all I could at the Media Play in south Toledo today (or at least everything I'd had my eye on), and I'll probably hit the other store tomorrow. Granted, I still have Best Buy for most of my CD and DVD needs, but this is seriously a big blow to me. I still remember the first time I went to Media Play back in my senior year of high school, because I got to skip my afternoon classes to go see David Lanz perform there. Sigh. This sucks.
