Come fly with me...
Today flew by, I imagine, because i was busy as hell. Before going to bed last night, I sent out emails to a number of different advisors, with whom i need to meet this week. I'll be covering various things including my attempt to graduate a year early and the IU CONNECT program for academic housing. In spite of my no longer being a marketing major, I'm still pretty damned good at it. I also sent a quick email to Lauren. I never stop thinking about her, when you can say that after 15 months of being together, you know you have something very very special, and I know I do. I just hope i remind her enough how special she is to me.
Well, this morning I woke up about 20 minutes before my first class, which is normal, but i woke up without an alarm. I seem to have a problem remembering to set the alarm for AM instead of PM. Fortunately, my body clock is messed up enough to wake me that early. My German class went outside to discuss our mystery novel because it was such a beautiful day out. Ants and spiders plagued our seating surface, which made it uncomfortable dispite the wonderful temperature.
Directly after, I came home for a miniscule nap, then headed off to a boring and hard-to-follow Stats class. The TA who teaches it is pretty worthless. he does all the work, and we learn very very little.
After a break where I absolutely did NOT want to eat any of the greasy food in the Union (so I went home), I went to a massively boring econ class, where I talked with Lauren and one of two friends I still have from high school, Geoff, for the greater portion of the class.
Directly after class, I came back and talked with Lauren about the people at her work sucking badly. Her manager is making her stock without training her on the register, in spite of the shortage of trained checkers able to help the customers. Her incompetence is hurting the store, and pissing off all the other employees. Lauren can't wait to get out of the stupid, dead-end job, and into either grad school or a PR job. She'll get word about whether or not Boeing will be flying her to St. Louis in about two weeks, conveniently right after i get out of school. Her pre-interview interview went well, and i think she answered questions quite well. I can't wait for next weekend. It hasn't really been that long since i've seen her last, but I miss her terribly, and any time we get to spend together is worth more than anything else. Only 10 days left!!!
Well, after talking with her, I called around to set up the actual appointments with my advisors, then ran to get a drink and then over to my meeting discussed in the other entry today. As predicted, the presentation was pretty god-awful, and I'm getting sick of the people I work with. Immediately afterwards, I rushed home to see if i could still catch meatfest, which i failed to do. In fact, i managed to time it perfectly so that I got there exactly when everybody left and the people remaining needed help cleaning up. needless to say, extremely frustrating, especially considering they all left to go play their stupid fucking star wars role playing game!!! AAAAAAAAAAUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!! I won't get the hell out of here soon enough.
On a lighter note, I had a really good talk with my dad last night about classes and Lauren and where I'm going in life. He seemed really supportive, and agreed with everything I was saying about Lauren and myself, indicating he not only thinks, but hopes that we'll be together for a long time. he said she should still try for on-air because that's what she wants to do, but grad school or Boeing would be great experience for when and if she decides to take a job where she's not in front of the camera. I think after the lunch with Jay, he respects me more as an adult, rather than as his misguided son. Anyway, that's all for now.
