9am Meetings: Population Thinning Catalyst
So I know I left you all on around the Saturday/Sunday area; not sure if I touched upon the Back to School meeting, but that was a waste of time comparable to making out with a girl and then getting cockblocked. I figure that might help some of you relate, since that's probably happened a lot more frequently than a disappointing, time-waste of a meeting. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I got paid for being there that time to do pretty much dookie, but it's time I could've spent sleeping and having weird anime dreams. Nevertheless, that set me up for a rather long and tedious day. I've been having those a lot this week, but I've still managed to come out on top. Chances are, I'm using a mental solar power adapter to run off the fumes of my belt promotion, which is still in the process of setting in. The easiest part of realizing it is knowing I'm being held to one step higher of a standard, and I welcome that challenge. After all, it keeps me sane and drives me towards greater things. I just wish the school hadn't been closed today.
Anyway, let's move on to how the 6th week of college has been treating me. The answer to that is so-so; I got only 2 wrong on my Music Appreciation quiz (same as last time), and Sociology continues to be rather interesting, just like Philosophy was. I'll tell you this much: having the fucking book certainly helps a fair amount. Monday marks the seventh week, which will mean that there is only 5 more weeks left until vacation. I just gotta keep telling myself that it's a little over a month and then I'll be in the company of friends, family, and humid weather littered with assholistic east-coasterners. A wonderfully bittersweet existence I live, wouldn't you agree?
I've already touched upon work, so nothing new there. I've been asked to come in early for tomorrow; big surprise, seeing as how we've only got about a week left before we're supposed to have all of our BTS stuff up. I'm still glad the time off thing wasn't mentioned in the meeting, as it just makes playing the part of the "innocent reminder" all the more effective. Obviously I know how the system works, but I also know how I work against the system; fuck the system, in fact. I'm already in the mindset of finding parking for the car for two weeks whilst we get ourselves airborne. They'll manage, I'm sure; if the store were to fall apart because of my absence for 9 days, I'd be a little goddamn concerned.
So beyond that, it's just been a time of relaxation and improvement on respective alternating days. Mikey and I went up to Best Buy on Friday and picked up Fanboys while also finding an ASUS laptop that I'd definitely enjoy the having of. There would still be the matter of selling my current laptop, so...if anyone needs a good ass semi-portable gaming rig, lemme know. As for Fanboys, that movie was fuckin' hilarious as hell. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's ever been, is, or knows a fanboy (especially Star Wars). I think next week when I get paid, I might finally get Clerks 2, seeing as how Mikey's lazy ass refuses to set aside an afternoon for us to watch it on his computer. Nevertheless, I don't need much of an excuse to go back up to Best Buy and peep that new laptop they have.
Other than that, I'm just looking forward with cautious optimism to Thursday, which is when I get my wisdom teeth removed. To be honest, it's not even the procedure that adds the "cautious" part, but rather the part where I have to pay for it. I've been told this will be expensive as balls; I'm hoping it isn't, as I'm not exactly fuckin' made of money. Beyond that, I found out that I'm out at 6:30 on Saturday and I'm totally kosher with that. Not that I have a date or anything (because even FINDING a woman around here who's single and doesn't have a kid is fucking impossible), but it'll give me some time to get some gaming in, or maybe somehow go find some fireworks to visually enjoy. It'd be NICE if I had a date, but I've got my own little thought process of how fucked up the concepts of relationships and the difficulty laden therein are presented to me as of present day. Needless to say, being single is a bittersweet feeling, and the balance tips daily in the favor of both.
With that being said, I shall leave you all to your own devices in the hopes life is going as good or better. I'm sure that, with my early departure from work next Saturday, I'll have some free time - some of which I may use to let you all know how it's going. If nothing else, you'll see from me SOMETIME next week. Until then, everyone stay gravy and wish me luck on Thursday.
