(no subject)
I just realized I'm never going to get married. I don't think I can honestly live with other people for an extended period of time and maintain my sanity. Oh well.
So, if my roommate doesn't stop snoring, I may be forced to smother her with a pillow. I'm the most impatient person on the planet and I'm like shaking from frustration. It's the loudest thing I've ever heard and I really need to work on this paper. I want to shoot her with my nerf gun. Ahhhh!
Anyway, I haven't updated with a real entry in quite some time. Oh my god, now the furnace is making noises, too. Ahhhh. Okay, back to the point: my life. Things have been...well, bipolar lately. High highs and low lows. Um... like I said, DTL was amazing. A few really great people came into the city too, so that was fun. What else? Today I was offered a paying summer job by someone in the office I'm currently interning at, which means I can afford to stay in the city for the summer. :D! I thought I wanted to go home, but then I received some news that changed my mind. I kind of never want to go home again. Whatever, I'm trying not to care about that stuff. Oh, and the woman who hired me spends half of her time in her office and half of her time in Mark's (same building), which means I can still spend a decent amount of my time there. I really love the work I'm doing now, so I'm relieved I'll be able to stay on board. I definitely want to be around for the pre-Primary chaos that is sure to come. Honestly, I think I'm doing a good job there. I rarely feel confident in anything I try, but...I don't know, I actually think I'm doing good work this time. Well, the woman who offered me the job mentioned that she was impressed with what I've been doing, and that means a lot to me. I'm reading this back, and I don't want anyone to misinterpret this as arrogance, but I just really feel like what I'm doing actually matters. That feels so good! Plus the people are amazing, and so is the whole atmosphere. When it's nice out we make calls from the balcony- it's gorgeous and the view of the Chrysler building can't be put into words. It's like...RIGHT THERE. Hah, it's almost scary, but beautiful. Aside from that, there's just a lot of humor in the place, and everyone is there because they want to be. Every once in awhile the policy director will have a "Republicans hate poor people" nervous breakdown and wreck the conference room, which is just so amusing to watch. Whenever Mark sneezes, he stops and tells everyone to "calm down" because "everything is under control." No one can figure out why he says this, but one of the finance directors does the most amazing impression of it. It's just a really fun environment, and I like it a lot...as if you couldn't tell. I thought I'd have to get a night job in a kitchen or something to pay the rent and be able to stick around, but now I'm going to have this other job which means I won't need to take yet another crappy, minumum wage summer gig. YESSSS!
Not so happy about school though. I've been sucking. I'm usually lying/exaggerating when I say that, but this time I'm not. I just can't focus anymore. I haven't done any required reading in months. It's so boring. I have a midterm on Thursday that will cover nine chapters of genetics I'm yet to even look at. I have a paper due the same day, the one I'm trying to write now. It's not going so well. I really hope the motivation decides to kick in at the last minute! If not, I'm screwed! (Insert Steven quote about last minute lyrics ;))
I guess I should either get my ass moving or get some sleep.
ps- I promise I'll start commenting more! I go into LJ funks.
