(no subject)
So I've done almost no work in the past few days. IT RULES. Except for the part where I have to work like a crazy person to make up for it. Which is what I should be doing now, except for the fact that I slept later than I meant to and then dicked around on the internet instead. DAMNIT, SELF. THIS IS WORK YOU'RE AT LEAST INTERESTED IN.
At 2:15 I have an interview with Phil with the Academic Resources Center to see if I can be a Japanese tutor, which I hope I can be because A. it's good teaching-ish experience for JET, B. It's good practice for me, C. I like "helping people," and D. There is no D. Maybe I can finally use some of my work study moneys. I don't know what I'm gonna say though, something along the lines of what Anna suggested. "I like to help people? And I remember how hard it was at first for me? And I'd like to get some experience teaching language for JET? And I'm also doing ESL with the migrant labor project but this lets me use my Japanese skills? And stuff? I LIKE TO HELP! I GOOD AT JAPANESE BUT NOT ENGLISH ANYMORE."
At 3 I have another senior project meeting with Michiko which should be relatively brief, because there's this section where I have no idea what's going on and when that happens it doesn't make a lot of sense to keep going after that because I'm like "OH MAN WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED."
So, plans for the next week or so: Work like an insanity machine. (This makes sense, as I have to produce lots of insanity for my senior project novel, hence I will be an insanity machine) Also work insanely hard/in insane quantities.
My book on Organized Crime came in the mail today! It's mostly sensationalist fluff, pictures and whatnot, but it was cheeeeep and I don't really need tons of details, just a general idea of the ventures of organized crime syndicates. I'm hoping the book I ordered on serial killers is more substantial, but probably not. Luckily I'm good at extrapolating and inventing.
I've also been going to the gym a lot recently. And trying to cut back on smoking. In other words, I'm trying really hard on a lot of fronts. SO BACK OFF.
JKS! It's not that bad. Although I TOTALLY LOVE seeing awkward aquaintances at the gym when I'm totally drenched in extremely attractive neck and back sweat.
Goddamnit, now instead of doing work I'm searching for Chris Farley sketches on YouTube. FOILED BY MY OWN LOVE OF HILARIOUS SHIT.
