I aspire to mediocrity.
School work has been INSANE the last two weeks, and I feel like LJing about it becomes perilously close to whining like a baby. I'll give a short point-form summary, though, because I'm not above whining for posterity's sake.
Ok, now that that's over I can get into the more entertaining aspect of my life. Tomorrow, the LotN are going to the Fireside for martinis and an end-of-term yay-its-christmas meal. I think this is the last group plan we have before we finish on Friday. Last week we ate at Smitty's for brunch after Cataloguing, where I ordered an orange juice that was $5. NOT IMPRESSED. The food was delicious though, but the service was not.
Wednesday I got a little stressed and frazzled and took it out on poor Lizz (<3 you) and she put up with my panicked whining like a trouper (I'm around to return the favour if you need it). I was already a day late with my Archives report phase 1 and freaking out. Then I calmed down and went out to trivia at the Roost to celebrate Tammy's sister being in town. I'm glad I have my apathy back.
Note to self: don't order the chicken burger again.
I can't remember what happened before Wednesday. Oh yeah, the weekend of the Systems Presentation that spanned forever. FOREVER.
Anyway, last night Mellissa and I went shopping and I finished buying Christmas gifts for my family. Now I have have to worry about shipping off Falina's, possibly wrapping them before going home, and returning a stupid purchase I made.
Over the holidays I'm going to apply for a NB internship that could potentially locate me in Campbellton as a work placement. I could live at home and pay off part of my student loan, which would be wonderful. Also, I could be placed in Fredericton and get an apartment with Sarah. I find the prospect of this exciting and it feels so much more like a new phase of my life whereas Campbellton feels like I'm going to put my life on hold and get stuck in that hellhole again.
Plus I get to buy stuff and own shit. I like owning things.
- 5 boxes of Archival material, in no particular order
- Computer cord so frayed I have to 1. hold it in place and 2. not bring it anywhere. Made the Archival boxes challenging
- Systems presentation - took far longer than I time-budgeted for
- The fact I found it necessary to time-budget
- Cataloguing, the least painful of all - which might be saying something
- Works in Progress
- Digital Libraries - NOTHING IS WORKING on the DL host website
- Systems Report - gongshow that makes me want to shower and then stick my finger in an electrical socket
- Archives Finding Aid part 2, plus a presentation this week
- Oh FML. I'm not even watching tv and I can't find time to do everything
