I can't possibly do any work before 10am...
So I'm updating. This has become the incredibly sad state of affairs here at my internship. As I spend most of my mornings creating work for myself, I really have no motivation to do anything before 11 or 11:30am, let alone 10am. But I've run out of entertaining non-work stuff to do, so here I am.
The saddest part of this is that my last day of my internship is TOMORROW! In theory I would be in a rush to make sure I've covered all of my responsibilities, preparing to create my portfolio, etc. But I'm not, because I just don't care. I don't wnat to be here for 30 hours a week any more. I am tired of this office, of this desk, of this chair, of these people, of this job. It just isn't doing it for me. I sit here all day and pick at my hair constantly (seriously, all the time). I pull pieces out, I straighten curls, I wrap pieces, I detangle tangles, etc. etc. etc. I imagine it's starting to annoy the girl who has the desk next to mine, but I don't care too much. What the hell else am I supposed to do?
So yeah, last day tomorrow! HELL YEAH!!!! Honestly, I will still be coming in for the next few weeks, but it will just be to do what I need to do. No more of this 8am every day, 30 hours a week shit. I'll probably come in on Monday between 8:30 and 9:30am, do what I need to do, and leave. It will be AWESOME. I will also be starting my old work hours at Traffic Safety again next week, so no more of this afternoon shit--M 8-12, W 8-1, R 8-12. AWESOME.
Things I need to get done (and by when):
TSREG
*Core data analysis report (sometime tomorrow, I don't really know) (EDIT: apparently, by the end of today, just got an email)
*New RCL section for grant renewal (Monday maybe? Who knows, all I get are fake deadlines)
*Analyze community forum results/write report (within the next month or so)
IPSO
*Plan last seminar (should start before tomorrow)
*Help 4H people with presentation (next Thursday)
*Finish up health insurance survey and analyze data (ASAP, before May 1)
*Beat those practicum students, and probably do all of the work they should have been doing (before May1)
*Write a final report (by next Friday)
SCHOOL
*Create internship portfolio (due May 1)
*Write 2 more A&P sections, compile and edit paper (due May 1)
PERSONAL (i.e. apparently less important)
*Start my compulsive exercising again
*CLEAN!
*Visit Karl, Justin, the familia this weekend
*Get computer fixed
*Make sure I graduate
*Get ready to visit Becky!
*Walk the dog more, and maybe start trying to train him beyond "Sit"
There, wasn't that exciting? I think it sounds fairly do-able. It has to be!
In other news, I got an iPod (4GB nano). I'm a little ashamed to say that I love it. The flash-drive-iness is nice. I wish my computer would read CDs so that I could put more than 72 songs (and 28 books) on it! Maybe I'll be able to take that in next week.
I had a great time talking to Karl last night, and I'm excited that I will get to go hang out with them this weekend. I also talked to Rob and Carlos yesterday, so I was fairly productive, social-ness-wise. Although I did miss Jonathan's call about grilling out because I was taking a nap...oh well. It annoys me that he insists on having things his way or no way, all the time. For instance, we all want to grill out, but if it's not at his apartment, then he will not be participating. Even when it makes much more sense to come over to our house, because we have a back porch and an actual grill and places to sit. Whatever. If he has no problem ditching people just so that he can have his way, then I am not going to be going out of my way to make sure I hang out with him.
I'm hoping to buy a big travel duffel bag to take with me to visit Becky next month and to use for the Peace Corps in September. I hope the ones I picked out are still at the store (and still on sale). I love luggage!
Hmm, I think that's it. Back to...work?
