(no subject)
so its finally down to the last possible second for me to decide what i want to write this argumentative paper on, and i still have no idea what i want to do. i have a rough draft of a memo due tomorrow. the memo is supposed to be asking permission to research the topic that i pick, but i think i am supposed to already have had the prof OK it ahead of time. oh well, either she likes it or she doesnt. and if she doesnt, then i will have wasted this time that i am about to spend working on it. funny how it seems like i only update this thing when i am avoiding doing something...
i just found out that sandy from my old work is having a "dateless valentines party" this friday, and i really want to go because i havent hung out with old work people since new years. it seems like an eternity ago, especially considering that they have had 2 parties since then that i have had to miss. my only problem is finding someone to drive me home and back. hmm. this could be interesting. zach was supposed to be driving his friends car back, but it turns out that he cant get it, so im left trying to find another set up.
the other thing is that i am supposed to work on saturday, my first weekend shift. my dilemma is that i dont know if i should try to find someone to work for me or not. because if i try to find someone and cant, i am screwed. but if i dont try to find someone then i will have to think of a fib to tell of why i cant come to work. i dont want to screw them over by calling in at the last second, but i cant try to find someone to work for me and then call in sick if i cant find anyone. im sure it will end up working out...things have a way of doing that.
in other news, i have recently found out that i am 7th on the waiting list for england. this is down from 8, which was down from 15 originally. i really really really hope that i get to go; i also really hope that i will find out soon. i know that this is asking a lot, but i do need to make plans for housing next year if i am in the country. the number of people i will live with next year if not in england keeps growing and growing...it started out with just lindsay, christine and me. now its lindsay, christine, lisa, katie, possibly amanda, and me. 6. wow. thats a lot of girls to be living in one house together. i think thats the legal limit too. theres some old ordinance in town that more than 6 (it could be more, im not sure about the exact number) women living in a house together is considered a brothel, thats why we arent allowed to have sorority houses. at any rate, we need to start looking for a house soon and will probably have to sign a lease before the school year is over. i just want to know where im going to be next year for sure before i make any commitments to anyone. i emailed the director of the england program to ask her what she thinks my odds are of getting into the program. i made the mistake of putting the line "If you would get back to me whenever you get a chance" at the end of my email, so i still havent heard from her 5 days later. i guess thats not that long, but to me, if i email someone, i expect them to respond within 2-3 days. maybe thats asking too much. i dont know.
at any rate, i will be very glad to be out of the dorms next year. and if im in england, yeah i will be in a dorm, but it is an old castle, so thats cool. plus, i will have my own room, and anyway, its england, i cant be picky!! there has been a riot going on out in my hall on and off for the past 2 hours. girls are running around screaming and laughing. this isnt that bad right now, since i am awake, but if i was sleeping i would be thouroughly annoyed by this. like last night for example. i had to get up early to work at 7 this morning so i went to bed around 10:30. i was dead asleep when, around 2:00 am i was abruptly awoken by 2 girls loudly talking in the hallway. it wasnt anything, im sure, that couldnt have been discussed inside their room. anyway, i was jolted awake and couldnt fall back to sleep for the next 2 hours. ok, enough of me crabbing, its time to do some real, actual work.
