Well Then
Man I haven't made a legitimate 'this-is-what's-going-on-in-my-life-these-days' entry in a quasi long time. And I'm not going to now. I'm just sort of bored because, for once, I actually put myself to my schoolwork in an organised fashion and finished it all last night so I wouldn't have to rush it all this morning if I ended up waking up late. And then I set an alarm for 7:30, and woke up when it went off. At a first look, this looks like the sort of thing I might do well to continue doing in the future, especially if I actually want to beat the hell out of my next eighty credit hours or so and try to graduate cum laude (I figure if I can do it, anybody can... except for stupid people, of course). Speaking of stupid people, I was really thankful the other day that I'm not one. I have for whatever reason been gifted with a natural ability for figuring stuff out, which is probably why I start doing my homework in honors theory the moment after Santa first tells us what the new concept du jour is. Also why I managed to conduct a lot more confidently yesterday as compared to my previous attempts, despite my whole two minutes of practising right before class.
I think I might start driving to school a lot more regularly, yesterday didn't seem at all unusual but I realised as I was driving home that, minus a physical therapy appointment and a faster-than-all-hell drive home and back to get my PMA shirt after voice lab, I had been at school from 8:00 in the morning to 10:00 at night. Also, on a side note, I think the fact that I had to redo how I write times and dates for the Hemmle work schedule has completely shot my preference for writing times in European ("military") format. It still strikes me as funny when people like Andy Midkiff who I haven't held serious conversation with since my first year here still consider me British.
I gave out my first business card yesterday for an actual professional reason yesterday, it felt kinda forced actually. I'm glad I didn't pay much for these (although Matt did a super super job!) because I don't think I'm actually going to get all that much use out of them. In hindsight, most of the people who need to reach me in the school either already know me very well, or have no idea who I am and have to talk to the people in the publicity office before they are even aware of my existence.
I don't think we're ever going to get our mikes back in Hemmle. I miss them. And our projector. I might not do a crew recital after all. The spirit is willing, but the spirit is getting tired.
