It’s Here
So, that “thing” that I’ve been waiting for. I think it’s here. Maybe.
Nothing to get too excited about. It’s quite pathetic really–I’m ashamed that I’m even writing about it. But it’s a Sunday night, I’m taking a break from studying commodities, commodity chains, and capitalism, and I have nothing better to do while listening to the oh-so-smoove “Pepe Linque” by Oregon, a local (if I were still in the Vancouver/Portland area) jazz band.
So, here goes.
The past four weeks have been absolute bores that were comprised of reading. Now, I must say that I do enjoy reading. But like 100 to 200 pages for every other day? And actually understanding and remembering the words on the paper?! Oh, heck no.
And now week five of the 2007 fall quarter at the University of Washington dawns upon us…while raining down (the downpour type of rain that doesn’t cease to end) the midterms and due-dates for term papers and other research projects.
Hello, Mr. Thing That I’ve Been Waiting For.
See? Pathetic.
I think there might be something wrong with me. I’m actually excited. Really. On my Windows Vista I have the Notes Gadget with a list of things-to-do typed in a nice, loopy font. I just checked off two things yesterday. Sa-weet.
I think I’ll grow up to be one of those obsessive-compulsive workaholics and die from a heart attack. I have no idea where the latter came from, but for some reason I associate workaholics with heart attacks.
This is all a total wake-up call. It’s all happening at once. So much to do. Hallelujah.
On another note, the past week was a good one. It started off interestingly with a journey at midnight to the Chevron gas station (the ONLY convenience store that we could find open…the other two or three convenience stores located on the Ave weren’t too convenient in my opinion) to buy cigarettes that my roommate wasn’t going to smoke. That, right there, is a post by itself, but it’s been a week already–ancient history. However, I will say that I felt sympathy for the clerk.
Some other good (and definitely amusing) things happened here and there…one involves a weekly paper that I thought I was going to fail and one exceptional individual. Even though this story is only about three days old, I refuse to post about it.
Picture me smiling to myself right here. Oh, the torture (for you).
Anyway.
I went shopping with the roomies yesterday. Finally got myself a costume for the Halloween dance/party and blew about $85 on a white dress, gold bangles, bracelets, necklace, ring, armband, and an “Egyptian” headdress. You receive a nickel if you can guess what I’m going to be.
I have a meeting tomorrow with The Daily. Hopefully I can finally get my hands on a story assignment to add to my Notes Gadget.
