I am fairly sure that I am depriving myself of sleep. This next week is certainly not going to help much.
I have been living in a world of chaos; I should probably spend a good hour or two organizing my life today, if I have time. My closet is in need of some serious T.L.C.
Yesterday had its ups, and yesterday had its downs. I was not hired as an RA for next year which was, in all honesty, a disappointment and slightly irritating; however, at this point, there is not much that I can do about it. I was put into the pool of eligible candidates if someone declines their offer, someone transfers schools, drops out of school, or just quits for whatever reason. This year they depleted the entire pool and then some so the likelihood of obtaining a position at some point for the 2007-2008 school year is pretty high. There isn't anything more that I can do at this point, so I figure it is best not to stress myself and worry about it. I believe that I have been taking the form of rejection like a champ. My mother, on the other hand, did not take it so well. She told me to make sure I tell them of the outcome, to not be afraid to tell my parents that I was not given the position if that was the case. There really would be no point in not telling them, so I don't really understand why she would have said that to begin with, but when I did call her to tell her yesterday, she sounded as if she was anything but happy. As far as she is concerned, the University of Cincinnati had screwed me over too many times. She likes to blow things out of proportion.
I am really happy for my friends that were given RA positions right off of the bat. They will do wonderfully and they can be sure to expect many visits from myself. Alyssa did not believe me when I woke up yesterday and said, "Alyssa, I had a dream last night that you got the RA job and I didn't." Who is the psychic one now, asshole? Next year, unless I am offered a position soon, I will be living in UPA with Bri and Melinda-- that is the game plan, at least.
I had a Biology exam yesterday that I think that I did fairly well on. I spent a pretty decent amount of time studying and I may have pulled off a 'B.' Fingers crossed.
I was nominated and ran for queen of Daniel's Hall last night. I was told that I won, but they wanted to do a recount. I did not stick around to hear the announcement because it was getting late and I was getting bored. Because I did not stay, the non-existent crown was passed on to whomever was the runner up. It isn't really important; I will always be the queen of Daniel's in my eyes. Wink, wink. Sarcasm, sarcasm.
I bopped around the Clifton area with Bri, Josh, Dan, Trent, Tyler, and Drew last night. It was pretty okay. I wouldn't venture to say that it was awesome, but it wasn't all bad. I arrived back in the room around 2:00 this morning and crashed. I need to develop a better sleeping pattern.
I am all alone in 604. I think I may play some music, clean a little bit, read a little of The Things They Carried, and proceed to live my life with whatever happens.
