I never thought I could love anyone but myself.
Soo. It was a long week last week.
My car broke, twice. The first time it was just a tube that slipped and my friend from work, Mike, fixed it for me. He used to manage/run his own shop so he's got all kinds of special tools and knows what he's talking about. It was like a $6 fix, so that was exciting. The very next day my car took a crap on me while I was in an illegal parking area on campus. I ended up taking it to a mechanic, and it took like three days to get it fixed, for $200. BUT. It works now, and hopefully will last until I graduate, get a job and can get a better car.
I was also PMS-ing last week and stressed out by the rest of my life, so it was not my best week.
Our new exhibit at the museum opened on Friday. We had a closed media/university big-whig opening event Thursday night and a student event on Friday night. I convinced my boss to let me plan the student event, because I knew it could be cool. He didn't want to do it because he didn't think students would show up, so of course I got all cocky and told him his fears were completely unfounded and *I* could make it work. I really need to learn to keep my attitude in check.
By Wednesday I was melting down and freaking out that I had totally backed myself into a corner and set myself up to look like a total ass. I made a lot of mistakes when promoting the event, and learned a lot from it, and was scared shitless that people wouldn't show up. We had about 70 people come, and went through 9 pizzas. My boss was impressed. :) I was happy, but knew it could have been better.
I shut down this weekend, like most weekends, and didn't do shit. Completely ignored my phone. I shouldn't have, but oh well! Eventually I need to learn to be okay with the fact that weekends and evenings aren't going to be that productive for me. I mean, usually I get stuff done if it really needs to be done... but otherwise? Meh. I slowly keep getting better, it's just hard to let go of that guilt I feel for not being more productive.
Has anyone seen "The Happening" with Mark Wallberg? Awful movie. Don't ever watch it. "Burn After Reading" was pretty good though. A tragic comedy... you laugh but feel really bad at the same time. And a little confused about the whole point, and whether or not you just watched a movie. There's a plot... but it's just a big confusing mess of characters. Haha.
That's all folks.
