The current frustration of my life....
... is organizing a talk for a visiting professor. The idea sounded great back in the fall, but now I feel like I'm getting the run-around. Stop assuming I know what I'm doing because I don't and be courtesy by telling me where and how to contact people. Just because I'm a graduate student doesn't mean I know everything! Kthxbye.
*sighs* I'm to the point of emailing an administrator who I think can help me or the department chair because my patience is fading fast. Maybe I should've emailed someone sooner but I prefer to solve my own problems and not bother people who I consider my "bosses." I'm afraid this situation, however, might require heavy artillery. Hopefully I'll know by Wednesday or Thursday what to do next.
Happier notes: I'm mailing my second internship application tomorrow afternoon. My Italian literature class is going to be IN Italian on Thursday, which is freakin' awesome. I let a cop into our building tonight so he could do a search for a person, and thankfully the person wasn't in our building. I walked to and from class today. I had Chipotle for lunch / dinner. I caught a student surfing the web in class and talked to him about it after lecture was over. I finished my reading for seminar. And... I bought Pop Tarts for breakfast tomorrow.
Conor will be visiting in 11 days. My family will be visiting in 19 days for birthday celebrations. T-minus 26 days until I'm 25.
