Sweet Charity, Batman...
Another week gone by, another Tuesday afternoon - bored at work...
Last week was pretty uneventful schoolwise. Nothing due, nothing to do. This week I have an exam on Thursday, but it's all downhill from there. Two weeks left to school (not counting 2 finals in three weeks) and it seems like starting next Monday, I have a group presentation every day of my life, all involving papers to turn in afterwards. I guess I should've expected all of this being a Marketing major - group presentations out the wahzoo. But I shan't complain because there are only 12 days of left to the semester and then it's VACATION! This semester did not fly by - it strapped on some rocket boosters and teleported by at the speed of light, breaking the sound barrier. But sadly, as much as I hate school, I might miss this one. I'm actually doing well in ALL of my classes.
Nic's musical ("Seussical The Musical") was this past weekend and I went to all 3 shows (because I'm a good boyfriend :) and secretly, I was obsessed with it). Who knew a musical about Dr. Seuss stories would be so good. I got him the soundtrack and I'm gonna steal it and put it on Pod because showtunes are so addictive. "Oh the thinks you can think...Biggest blame fool in the jungle of Nool...". Anytime I see a musical or play or something of that nature, whenever I'm watching it I think to myself that I wish I was into that stuff. I mean, I am into it. I just wish I had the guts to actually do it. Who knows what I might do in the future. Perhaps my inner thespian will emerge. It's been so long since I've been in a musical - "The Castaways" in 7th grade, "History of Rock N' Roll" in 8th grade...and Frolics was fun in high school. Hmm...
I saw "The Interpreter" last night. I feel like it's been forever since I had seen a movie. I think the last one I saw was "The Ring 2" over Spring Break, which I just realized was a long time ago. The movie was good. I love anything with Nicole Kidman in it. Except, I don't know if it's just me growing impatient in my old age or what, but every time I see a movie nowadays I find myself feeling like I've been in the theater for like 4 hours. Movies just seem so long to me. I don't have that kind of time.
American Idol is boring me. I used to love love love Carrie, but each week that passes she is de-impressing me. I now love Vonzell, but she won't win. This season is just not as fun as the others have been. Speaking of American Idol, that's one of the 7+ page papers I have to write for next week. That's one thing I do love about Marketing classes. They are very pop culture-oriented. I also get to write a paper about how Britney Spears and Madonna have used controversy to boost their careers. Gee willickers! How will I ever get through writing that paper!! *immense sarcasm*
Did you know that most flavored coffees - lets say hazelnut coffee - do not really have hazelnut "flavor"?!! It's only a hazelnut scent of the coffee that makes you think your tasting it.
Next week at this time I will know for definite if and where I'll be an RA next Fall. I have a hunch ("Follow your hunch!"...sorry, more Seussical banter) that I did get the job and that I'll be placed in Washington in Southwest (which is right next to where I lived my sophomore year, which is good) which pleases me. But it's just a hunch, based on the fact that the man who interviewed me is the RD in that building and he's good friends with my boss at work and she's been talking to him about me to get me in.
My financial difficulties continue to flourish. I had to ask my mother for $80 last week, then realized I underestimated my woes and had to take out closer to $150. Oh well. Once I don't live in the apartment anymore (late-July) I can start to keep the money I make and my goal is to have all my credit card debt paid off by next Spring semester. I can do it.
Ok, I'm done now. Bye.
