Myah, the last couple days I've been working pretty hard but somehow looking good doing it? My luck has just been pretty damn good for once! I dragged my ass into work yesterday morning, resisting the urge to call in and sleep some more, and wound up being the only one to show up >D I heard that Nelsie was furious at all the lazabouts! So instead of working on the cold-as-fuck wall I got to be Travis's bitch for the day. He worked me hard but at least I was warm and doing something more interestig than feeding cold mortar into joints. And I got to work in the super-haunted paintshops basement. I thought I was just being paranoid, but every person I've talked to that's worked there said they felt exactly the same as I did. There's a heavy feeling of eyes being on you and a strongly defined presence lurking around in the shadows. I seriously thought there was someone else in there at least five times, registering motion in the corner of my vision for 15 minutes before looking to see absolutely nobody around me. Everything in Savvy is haunted *sigh* especially a 200+ y.o. railroad station.
Anyway, after work my friend Billy stopped over and hung out with me for a good while X3 I don't really find myself that interesting, so it still surprises me when people seem to value my opinion and company. Then I really didn't feel like going to my first class because I was beat and almost skipped but at the last minute changed my mind and trucked it to class. It was SUCH a drag but I'm so glad I went. See, the drag is not that I dislike the class or the professor, but the people in my class are absolute boneheads! I had to listen to their drivel for two hours and it was like pulling teeth. The upside was that I made myself look like a friggen genius several times over. You'd think that people in the #1 art college in america would be able to A.) Form and communicate a logical and clearly thought out topic and B.) think in any feeble way outside the box and on an emotional level. Aaaaaaaaaaabsolute boneheads. Not even going to explain it.
Then today I got up bright and early and went to my class~ Mmmm, I stopped at Metro and got coffee and a banana muffin. It's so fun to have a coffee shop where you're friends with the barristas and owner. Oh god, it's like Cheers. Everybody knows my name. Humm, entertained Jason after class instead of sleeping. Went to my second class of the day, entertained Jason and Candince instead of sleeping and went to a work cocktail party at the readout instead of sleeping. I really didn't want to go because my alergies have been murderous and the medicine I'm taking knocks me out, but once again, I was glad I made the effort X3. For the first time in my life I felt cute and popular (I know, I'm so lame :D). Everyone was happy to see me and complimenting my getup (people at work are used to seeing me in an ugly baby-blue floppy t-shirt and jeans with holes in them and covered in mortar dust) and I... mingled. I've always had some social anxiety and often kind of forced myself through things but today I just showed up, didn't stick to the people I came with like glue but shifted around through different groups as I felt like it. They had free beer and what looked like yummy food. I wasn't hungry but a couple of the guys fed me a little, haha. Humm, so, I guess even though things can take some effort it can be worth it if you just stick to your guns and press forward. Iunno, I've actually been feeling kinda blue off and in. Spring's not really a great time for me and I have some things on my mind. But maybe all my hard work is finally beginning to pay off and maybe, just maybe I can reap the rewards soon? Haha, wishful thinking from an unlucky girl!
Errr... I'm really so sorry to everyone that I'm hardly online anymore >< Don't ask me why, but ever since winter vacation I just have not had the urge to use AIM. Please forgive me!
