Work is a boring thing, so now seemed like a good time to, umm... explain why I've been largely MIA since school let out.

You see, the Tennessee Renaissance Festival goes on every weekend in May... and my mommy bought me a season pass... so that's pretty much where I've spent most of my free time this month. Sadly, it is now over, but I had a great time and may sleep for about the next month. (Cuz as I've said, having fun is hard work.)

Anyway, so that's that.

I'm listening to Badly Drawn Boy's "One Plus One Is One" album because I bought it Friday at the university bookstore because it was 75% off (Zomg, sale!). I'm digging it, but then again, I really like Badly Drawn Boy so that's a little bit expected.

Well, I guess now I'll go check in on RP-land as my poor characters have been mostly as MIA as I have.

Buh-bie now, f-list.

I have no idea why I haven't updated in a week.

Semester's over, grades turned out well.

Work is boring, and also eating my soul by means of making me get up at 6 AM.

I can legally drink in two and a half weeks.

I have a very boring life, apparently.

Wow I'm bored.

So glad I have nothing else to do this semester, just lay back and wait for the grades to roll in... though I may not be entirely happy with all of them. I suppose I will still survive if I get a B in Anth of Religion. I really should have done the extra credit. *le sigh*

I've been at work for 15 minutes and I've already checked all my e-mail, read my f-list, and peeked in on RP - which is currently a bit dead. ...now what? I have no idea what to do with myself when I don't have classwork to avoid.

Also, it would be really great if Dr. Kate would hurry up and @#$%@#$ grade stuff! I want to know how I did on my Microculture paper, damnit!

That is all.

I should be working on everything that's due next week (a 7 to 10 page paper and a 4 to 6 page book report Monday, and another 7 to 10 page paper Wednesday, as well as assorted other minor crap) plus a few things I need to get done by the end of this week.

What am I actually doing? Nothing. Well, my job, but that doesn't really count.

Have I mentioned today how much I love my moodtheme? Because I really do. And if that makes me narcissistic, then so be it.

Work sucks, but work always sucks, so there's nothing new there.

I've been doing actual, real homework most of the morning. Crazy.

I really, really, really want it to be tomorrow now. I want to schedule for classes. Anybody know if I can do it after midnight or if I have to wait until real morning?
I NEED to schedule my classes for next semester to distract me from how much the rest of this semester is going to suck ass.

Forgive my abuse of html tags today. I don't know what's gotten into me, I'm just apparently going crazy.

Speaking of crazy... if anyone cares, I re-prettified my Hermione RP journal with a shiny new header (of which I am also ridiculously proud) plus my awesome moodtheme.

So, what's up with you guys, f-list?

I've accomplished nothing at work today. I always feel bad for going the entire day at work and getting nothing productive done, because there's not really any reason not to be able to get anything done in six and a half hours of boredom. And yet, this guilt does not successfully motivate me.

And now I'm going to go back to RPing.

Blegh. Today was entirely too long. And I have approximately a metric buttload of reading to do for Wednesday. Some of it being articles I do not yet have copies of.

I accomplished many things today, which is good. I dropped off my, Jen's, and Laura's audit forms for Japanese and watched the woman process them, so that should be all good to go (I also cleared up the library fines hold which was, as I suspected, not supposed to be there).

I'm still working on getting all my shit together to apply to go to Amsterdam this summer on study abroad. I e-mailed to find out the new deadline, and also found out that I apparently do have a letter of recommendation ready and waiting for me to pick up. Nifty. Except for the part where I had already given up on that guy because he never responded to my email so I asked someone else and then had to un-ask her, which is a bit awkward.

In theory, I should have all my loose ends tied up about leaving the Student Government Association, tomorrow, after I talk to the Prez.

So, thusfar, my week is looking pretty good.

Also, I will be getting a paycheck Friday for the bit of work I did right before the semester began, so yay again.

And, this weekend, hopefully I will get to go see Brokeback Mountain again since it is finally showing here in Bowling Green. Yay!!!
Showtimes are 12:55 pm, 3:55 pm, 7:05 pm, & 9:55 pm.
You in, Rita? I'll buy my girlfriends dinner with my shiny paycheck. ^.^ ...after I put gas in the car, that is. Because it would be unfortunate if we ran out of gas, yes it would.

Definitely swtiching Japanese 102 to audit. I cannot handle taking that class for credit.
It was a very bad idea to wait a year between taking 101 and 102. He kept saying we would start remembering things, except the only thing I was remembering... was how much stuff I didn't really learn the first go round.
But Japanese class was fun anyway. I missed Joe-san. ^.^
Plus, everyone I know in the world is in that class (Me, girlfriend, [livejournal.com profile] punkbrad7, [livejournal.com profile] tasukixchichiri, etc.). Or the one before it ([livejournal.com profile] hilltopper918). Except for [livejournal.com profile] abercrombie_boi, who I hung out with for an hour earlier today, and [livejournal.com profile] ladykittykatwku, who hung out with for an hour right before I went to class.
Today has been extremely friend-filled. Yay! I forgot I had friends. I now feel very popular and important. ^.^

I have homework that I am avoiding. Already. I have to type up the answers to a few questions for my first class tomorrow morning, and I have reading for a couple of the other 4. Feck, I don't want to think about having to go to 5 classes tomorrow. *sigh* Who was smoking crack when they were setting up the schedule for this semester?

Work today was not too busy. Good news of the week is that I found out I don't actually have to work *all* day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, only 8:00-2:30. Somehow that two hours a day less I expect will make all the difference. While the extra money would have been nice, I will be working essentially the same amount of hours as last semester (1/2 hour less per week) which is decent money. Plus, added bonus of being able to remain sane. Yay.

Umm... probably other things to say, but I can't remember them right now.

Still don't feel like a detailed discussion of all 5 of my MWF classes. Perhaps tomorrow.

Got two hours of sleep last night. Went to five classes. Then part of my residual check came in so me and Jen ran out to the bank and did a bit of shopping. Just got back to the dorm, and now I'm quite ready to shower and then sleep for approximately ever. Unfortunately I have to get up and go to work tomorrow at 8 AM so that forever might end up cut a wee bit short. *le sigh*
This is the longest Monday in the history of the world. I might update and talk about how all my classes went if I have a few spare moments at work tomorrow but it's not very likely.

I just got ridiculously excited because I realize that I get to sleep in until nine or nine-thirty tomorrow after having to be at work at eight AM every morning this week. It's the little things that make life worth living. ^.^

I'm so glad that classes and finals are done for the semester and am quite looking forward to the long break. I feel quite certain that I will need lots of rest in advance to survive next semester.

Now if only my $%@#$@#$ professors would put up my $%@#$@#$@$% grades! *grr*

I have most of my stuff ready to go home tomorrow. Except for my computer, of course, which I will undoubtedly turn off at the last possible minute. :)

It needs to be x-mas now, plzthxbye.

Evil day of Doom (doom, doom, doom, doom...)

1. Fixed paper and turned in to Eng 300
2. Gave oral report on paper that was amazingly the correct length of time
3. Thought it was a good idea to give said oral report after 4 shots of espresso.
4. Realized the error of my ways. Report was approximately 30% vocalized pauses (Umm....), 60% pure caffeine, & 10% information.
5. Continued to feel like death on legs.
6. Ate soup, the only food type substance of the day.
7. Felt even more like death on legs.
8. Started doing laundry.
9. Watched girlfriend finish Nanowrimo. Yay, girlfriend! Woo! Pretty impressive considering 20K of it was in the last 4 days. (If one missed the memo, I gave up on Nano about 37K words ago...)
10. Decided I wanted to go to walmart.
11. Bought luden's cough drops to stave off imminent death. Yes, I know they don't really help. I don't care.
12. Realized it is now December. Yay-ness.
13. Decided to come back to dorm and die in relative comfort.
14. Remebered laundry is in dryer. Decided to finish typing up lj post anyway.

Let's see, what else did I mean to write about today?

Humorous moment of the day:
A woman came into work this morning to get a new ID because she got married and changed her name. Her new last name? Nipple. Dead serious. If I got married to someone with the last name Nipple, no power on this earth could convince me to legally change my name.

Scary moment of the day:
One of the elevators in our dorm is broken. Normally, I wouldn't care or even notice since I live on the second floor and thus rarely take the elevator, but it was making a horrendous beeping sound, so I happened to glance over at it. Bad idea. The little display that tells you what floor it's on? Definitely said "13". This would be odd in and of itself since most buildings don't call their thirteenth floor 13, but our building only has 10 floors! Crazy elevator. I have surmised that it somehow became trapped in hell. My girlfriendly-type suggested that this was unlikely since it was trapped *up*, but I firmly disagree. The elevator has fallen into a space-time-continuum-shift-wormhole-otherrandomscifisoundingwords-thingie.

Is that all I had to say? There might have been more, but now I don't remember. *sigh* So tired. I really need to go get my laundry.

I think, after getting my laundry, I shall read soothing House/Wilson slash, then go to sleep forever. I have to turn in a short paper in my 9:30 class tomorrow morning, but I've decided I'm going to skip class, write it in the morning and e-mail it to him, solely because he's the only prof I have who actually lets people turn things in through email plus my afternoon class tomorrow got cancelled so I see no reason to get out of bed at all.

*dies*

Have I mentioned recently that I'm happy with my job? If I have, I was lying. Like woah.

My schedule for next semester was supposed to be 11-4:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays because the woman who does the schedules felt sorry for me because I've been on 8AMs for three straight semesters and I am *not* a morning person.
Unfortunately, she screwed up while she was scheduling. She had someone down for 8-11 when it turns out they actually can't work then because they have class. So guess who gets the honors of filling in the gap? Exactly.

On the bright side, I think this means I will end up working like 16 hours a week which ain't too shabby. ...or at least wouldn't be if I weren't planning on taking 18 hours of classes next semester. I still can't figure out which class I can possibly drop. *sigh*
On the other bright side, she feels bad asking me to work 8AM for the fourth straight semester so she going to try to get me a raise. Considering the fact that I already make more than anyone else I know who works on campus, that's pretty amazing in and of itself.

*sigh*

So, after that depressing news, now I have to go fix my term paper so I can turn it in today and figure out what the bloody feck I'm going to say during the five minute oral report I have to give on the topic this afternoon.

Is it x-mas break yet?

(Possible House/fandom meta examining backlash from last night's ep and comparing it to something I feel is a similar situation later if I feel up to thinking.)

I would accuse Jen of giving me her cold, but unfortunately the facts argue otherwise. I've had a scratchy throat since *before* she got sick, plus I'm differently sick - she wasn't caughing and randomly hacking up lungs. Rawr. I guess if I can't blame anybody in particular, it must be the weather. Damn weather. *smites weather*

I severely do not want to be at work today. I really, really wanted to crawl back into bed this morning and die for the rest of the day. But, instead, I have to do my homework. (BTW, bibliography cards are the stupidest thing evAr.) This is especially bothersome because so many people *don't* have to work today. Personally, I think that if it's an important enough holiday that the USPS gets the day off, then I should get the day off, too.
*sigh*

Today's schedule:

8:00-12:30 - Work, work, work!

12:40-1:35 - Craig Taylor's class

1:50-2:45 - Laura's Dad's class

3:00-4:20 - Pat Taylor's class Skipping!

3:00-7:30ish (if everything runs according to schedule all night, and when has that ever happened in the history of the world?) - Organization Aid interviews

I was supposed to go to class today and only have to skip for Org. Aid on Wednesday, but apparently another member of the committee randomly left the state for the week without warning. Lovely. Oh well, I guess I'll get back to that silly class thing next week.

Don't worry though, tomorrow and Wednesday should be just as bad. :-\

Can I go back to bed now?

Interesting academic article about slash that's probably not of interest to anyone but me. I heart meta. And Henry Jenkins. Why didn't I go to MIT and major in Comparative Media Studies?

And in other news, my boss's boss is an asshole. Well, actually he's incredibly patronizing and condescending which is a subtle difference. Not that this is news, since most of you have heard me bitching about him for the last four weeks (aka, since he got here).
Today he was asking my boss (whom I adore) why there is so much crap lying around behind the counter, basically. Umm, possibly because there's nowhere for it to go?
Oh, and my favorite thing he's done to piss me off *today* is after my Boss and my sort-of-boss left to go to the mall for a little while, leaving me running the office alone, he wandered out of his office and as he was walking by the counter to leave, he oh-so-politely observed, "So, they just... left you alone? They must really trust you." I sort of mm-hmmed and tried not to physically hit him. Stupid jerk. What exactly is that supposed to imply? And then he went on to say something about being nice to customers because he doesn't want people to get mad at us, which is also the reasoning he gave for undermining my boss's authority and rolling back a policy we put in place last semester to try and stop people from abusing their damn ID cards. As though he knows *anything* about the way this office runs. Grr. He just really pisses me off. It's getting to the point that his presence grates on my nerves regardless of if he even opens his mouth.
He's the boss of way more than our office, so why did *we* have to get stuck putting up with him all the time? Can't they put his office somewhere nice and far away? Like the moon?
And this is not just me being randomly bitchy. Everyone I work with and everyone I know who's had any dealings with him agrees that he's overbearing and condescending.
This is mostly just driving me crazy because 90% of the time, I *like* my job, and most of that other 10% is just when my alarm is going off at 7:30 AM. But he's making me not want to be at work, which pisses me off. I don't like to let other people manipulate me that way. Bastard. *grr*

And why hasn't my damn MP3 player gotten here yet? *cries*
