Not too shabby
Annoyed as I am at the current moment, I'm actually, overall, feeling pretty okay today. It's been a while since I last updated my journal; the reason being a contributing factor as to why I am annoyed. But I'll get there in a bit.
I really haven't been up to too much lately. I've been home and trying to get stuff together for school, and really, just soaking up the one measly little week of, if you can even call it this, "vacation," that Northeastern is so kind to give me. I'm actually heading up to my apartment tomorrow and staying until Saturday afternoonish (aka, whenever I feel like leaving), just to set some more things up and see what else we need and all that jazz. It's actually amazing how much I love NU, because they have quickly earned their way onto my shit list this past week. So, this coming fall, I was all set to take some classes, but one in particular I was extremely excited for: Advanced TV Production. I would actually dream about the class and how much fun it would be. I want to work in TV (more precisely, find the connection between music and TV) so this class was going to be a great introduction into that industry....except for the fact that slick NU decided to cancel the class one week before fall semester begins. So I have been pretty bummed about that, but more annoyed than anything because now I have to scramble to register for another class because I'm now short a class (and with everyone making me feel like I'm somehow behind in requirements, I can't afford to take a bullshit class). I have to ask you, Northeastern, don't you get tired of playing me like this? Do you get some sort of enjoyment out of screwing me over every chance you get?
I noticed the cancellation of the class when I went online after hanging out with Rosemary. Man, I miss hanging out with her so much. We went to the movies and saw "Garden State," which I recommend. It was a little weird and a bit trippy at times (there were a few times I said to myself, "Um, should I be high?") but it was good. We both liked it a lot. It was really funny when we got to the theater because there is this bum that walks the parking lot asking Destinta customers for money and he actually went right up to Rose's window and asked her to roll it down. She was freaked out for a good while; I thought it was all rather humorous. We then decided to go to Denny's and got some breakfast at 1am. It was awesome. We ate and talked and then we decided to go on one of our drives. Every so often, Rose, Carline, Steph, and me go on random drives at night around Middletown. Kinda like a mini road trip. It's a lot of fun. So we did that and then she dropped me off. It was such an awesome night.
So now to why I'm annoyed. I had to shut down the computer because it was acting funny and lo and behold, that freakin' computer never looked back. The internet, for some reason, just copped out and is being a bitch and won't fix. So, I've been without the internet for a couple of days now, which sucks. I always feel disconnected when I'm not signed on. And if that didn't make matters worse, the TV downstairs also decided to cop out. It's like the two of them planned to go out at the exact same time....therefore giving me nothing to do while I'm home. The satellite TV guy is supposed to come today, and I'm actually supposed to be waiting for him now, but I'm glad I decided to come to the library instead because he's taking his sweet ass time getting there. I came here to register for that class but I can't, so I'll have to wait til I get to school tomorrow.
I've been jamming on the bongos to some new songs. My fingers kinda hurt from playing so much. I can't wait to bring them to school tomorrow and have them there to jam on all the time. I hated not having drums for 8 months.
I've been missing the Olympics, which is killing me. But, I have heard some news about all the controversy. Particularly, Dad and I have been in a disagreement about the Paul Hamm controversy. I can seriously sit here and tell you my exact view on it, but that could take a while. It basically, in the end, gets summed up with two words: double gold. I have to get going home now because we're going to an MS Society appreciation dinner up at, I believe, UCONN, otherwise I would share my wisdom on the Paul Hamm controversy....different story, for a different day.
