2 down 5 to go; The next three weeks in brief
So, I just polished off my second final paper, and thankfully, it wasn't really a big deal. It was four days late though, and I have two more both due on Tuesday which are probably going to end up being significantly more difficult than this one, I fear. This wouldn't be such a big problem except that I have to spend all tomorrow installing my first art show. Then I have to make a video (as in come up with idea, plan, shoot, edit, and transfer to DVD) by Thursday morning at like 6:00 am or some shit, so provided I finish the two finals on time, I pretty much have to spend all Wednesday working on that. Then Thursday night is the art opening party- big end of year first-year show. Its sort of like a coming out party for the Jr. Art debutantes or something. I have to go pick up the kegs and I'm on the cleanup crew so Thursday will be a long ass day. If all goes as planned, I will have only one paper to write all next weekend (I'm actually looking forward to that paper, but it has the latest deadline so I really have to work on more pressing matters first), which I will turn in on Wednesday the 12th, then school will really be over next Friday and I can force my boss to crawl back to me even though I called in sick for three weeks. That is what is great about temp work!
After a few weeks I'll have some moola and then maybe I'll live frugally for a few weeks and see if I can figure out a less than totally counterproductive way to spend the summer. I'll probably fly to the east coast for the last two weeks of June, maybe hit NYC for a couple days (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE), and go with Devin to his friends wedding in Maine and spend some QT with the fam and what not. Then I'll probably go to the rainbow gathering for the first half of July if I can manage to shimmy out of my size 4 charcoal pinstriped Calvin Klein dress slacks by then, which is by no means guaranteed seeing as my skin seems to have grown together with them, barring any possibilty of non surgical removal.
This plan, unfortunately fails to account for nearly all of July and August, which is problematic because I don't own a functioning air conditioner, and my house will be pretty intolerable come the dog days. Also, theres the whole money issue. I'll probably end up with some job somewhere (hopefully baristas or something will be high demand by then) working three days a week and living off $100 a week until school (and allowance) resume in early September. Worst case scenario, I could always try to get hired at the wedding planner full time, but that would suck and blow if you can figure that out.
Maybe I'll get on top of the summer school research/application/registration thing. I should. It would actually be worth my time to earn some credits this summer to stamp out some of my critical studies credits and it would give me something to focus on in the heat. The problem is I have to do it now, when I have tons of other work to do instead, which is inconvenient at best, totally overwhelming and unsuccessful at worst.
Or I will very rapidly pick up exotic hoola hoop dancing and become a lucrative street performer on Venice beach. That would be the ideal situation.
ANYWAY, I'm going to get started on final # 3....
