i loves me some bold bbq doritos and coke!
i think i've been posting more on the weekends than during the week lately, mostly because that's when all the rss feeds i subscribe to don't update, so i actually have time to post instead of just informing myself. need to find balance between input and output.
although, there hasn't been too much to report lately. work's going well... back to school is in full swing. i made $300+ in commission 3 days this past week. for comparison, usually a good day is considered anything over $200. on friday, i actually made $560 in one 9 hour shift. granted, alot of that was because my managers transferred me a bunch of sales that i made just before i started making commission, but still... on thursday night, i only worked from 5-9, and made around $320. that works out to roughly $80/hour!! timmy likey commission. :D making that kind of money i should have enough to get my own apartment here in town in october. i just hope that it doesn't die down too much after back to school.
school starts soon, though i'll only be there one day a week from the look of things. i'm only taking two courses, and both are research. i'm doing a thesis for my programme on the ways that science fiction reflects the sociopolitical era that spawns it, and for that, i only have to meet with my supervisor once a month. i still need to narrow my view, but i'm almost certain i want to do a multimedia analysis (film, literature, comics, and television), so i'll probably have to either narrow it down to a very specific issue, or a specific era in the last 50 years or so. i'm sort of leaning towards cold-war era right now.
i'm also doing biochemistry research, but only for the first term. i don't even know specifically what i'll be doing for that yet, besides the general field (proteasome activation, for anyone in the biochemistry area). basically my advisor will recommend something based on the current stage of his research. i'm not too picky though... as long as i get lots of hands-on lab time, i'll be happy. i'm sure he'll sort of walk me through his major procedures and such, and then sort of let me go on my own.
and i think that's it for now. Spamalot tomorrow!
PS - ladies and gentlemen of america, this is your president. classy, huh?
