Miscellaneous Ramblings
I haven't updated in a while.. but mainly because I've kind of switched over to using MySpace as a blog, thinking that people would actually read it. That is, unti I found out people read this one anyways and just don't leave comments (hi Ryan!). So I'm pissed. Not because of the lack of comments, but about other shit.. as always.. after all, this is Livejournal--home of the daily rants and bitchings.
First off--Statistics. I hate you. So I crammed my ass off (again.. and again.. and again) and still only managed to score a 72. I just don't get it. I thought I did SO well on that test. I cant wait for him to come up with some kind of excuse like "I lined up the Excel file wrong" just like 2 semesters ago (which I would only know if I've had it 3 semesters in a row). Laaame.
Secondly--Accounting. I took a test on Thursday night--I don't know what I got on it because it takes them a while to grade some 2000 tests or so. It was a bitch. I still think I did really good.. but seeing as I thought I got a 100 on the Statistics, that doesn't say much. I'd be lucky to pass it. Of course, it was just so evil that I imagine about a 10 point curve anyways.
Third--Procrastination. I seriously need to combat this.. Not going on AIM has helped very much.. but now that my academic world is caught up and I'm actually going to class/reading the book/studying, my other everything else is slacking. APO--I need 45 service hours for this semester--how many do I have--FIVE. I'm just so lazy. I always liked DDing because just like the creepy nightshift guy in Scrubs (Oh god that show is orgasmic), I am probably going to be up anyways. However, I had a not-so-nice DD shift with Taz that just kind of took the reality of APO to life for me. I always heard from brothers that closed is full of drama, and I wasn't allowed to know.. but now I know not only about closed, but also that some of the general brotherhood in general suck. BOOOOO. I could be like Taz and whine and be like "Im going to depledge!!" even though its like way past that point. But I wont, there are far too many people I love in it to let the bad ones get me down. Amy, Mercedes, Maggie, Jen (BIG!!!), and Nick (BIGGG 2!). They all rock. But back to procrastination. I still have to file income taxes, which seems like the most giant pain in the ass ever, I have to set up my housing for next year with Rob (hopefully?), but i've been too busy to call him. I've been meaning to call Gene (or Barry I guess), but every day this week I don't get home until 9:30, their bedtime if I remember correctly. It feels like i'm almost SO busy with school and working Admissions that I almost have to push these "errands" to the side in order to have some "me time".
Fourth--Debt. This is by far one of the things I hate the most, and for good reason. I don't charge much any more, at least not more than I make, so I have my financial situation under control as far as income is related to purchases and expenses, but the previous remnants of my not-so-hot financial excursions just keep popping up and saying "pay me pay me!!" like a horny dog ready for some leg action. Its like I have this $345 paycheck I recently got.. and I'm wondering--I have a credit card bill where the minimum payment IS EQUAL TO the Finance charge each month.. So should I pay extra on that-- say $200, or should I allocate it to Josh, so that I can have my rent paid up til May. Either one will help in the long run, but its hard to figure out where to put it now. Maybe I should be in the Financial class as well. Put me some ratios into action. Don't know about those tests though, Ryan seemed to be disappointed in his grade and he studies more than the average bear. Given, I'm spendthrifty as anyone, but I choose to allocate my ideals in the thrift store, where $50 dollars worth of Kmart stuff suddenly turns into $8.00. So I figure the benefits outweigh the minuses.
Fifth--Sex. I've harped on this before, I know. Its not like I am not getting some, because I am.. but its just that the people that I have are more like--hrmm, perfect for the time, and not for the long run or something. Like a "you horny? Yep. Me too. Lets Roll" type of thing. Its really quite stupid. It was fun at first realizing that I finally had you know.. something, but now its getting old. Not the sex, just the regularity of it all. Maybe it needs to be spiced up. I don't know.. I guess I just want to be loved. I could even go without the sex, if only to get love's true kiss or some sappy Disney bullshit that I yearn for.
OK Im done bitching about general stuff--what did I do today? Work work work work work work. That's about it. I did take a minor break to pick up my paycheck from the bookstore (which had been sitting there a full week because I was so busy). I also got my Bugle picture taken, I figured if I got the 4 year deal, I might as well buy the book. Sucks for me though because I'll be a 5th year and have to actually BUY my senior year book. Laaame.
Next Tuesday is the Connection Internship fair. I'm determined to read my "how to get a job" book cover to cover and act like I know the shit--hell I might even master the confident strut. I am determined to get some sort of internship, because I hear it helps a hell of a lot more than any minors or double majors or anything like that, even though most internships I hear about the people don't actually do anything at all. So its a vicious cycle.
Speaking of work... we had a tradgedy.. my super super super awesome boss, Wanda, recently had a heart attack and is recovering in the ICU. I feel so bad for her.. she's so sweet and doesnt deserve this. But then no one really does.. It probably just runs in her family and shes fucked with it. Just like Diabetes in mine which i'm sure i'll eventually end up with. Personally, I blame that Burger King is the prime choice for meals at the Admissions Office because its so damn close. They really need to have an employee cafeteria.. its ridiculous--or have like flex plans for staff or something. Either way, she needs our help right now, so if you are Christian--or other prayer friendly religious--pray for her.. if not.. then hope for the best, because she needs to help.
I'm out--likely to procrastinate more and watch more Scrubs episodes.. and maybe Gummo--the most fucked up move ever.
