If our world falls down tomorrow,
you be sure I'll be there with a net,
to catch the pieces falling,
and I was always there.
Hey. Yo.
Yesterday when I ran to get my paycheck I asked my boss if I could have next weekend off. She said she couldn't make any promises. Really hoping I get those days off. I need to go home. Badly. ASAP.
I guess I'll be kinda mad if she doesn't. I saw that a couple people were given the last like, 3 weeks of December off. Uhmmm. Guess I'll be the one picking up the slack there, and thusly not be able to be home near as much as I would like for the holidays. Blagh. I hate this. Summer can not come soon enough.
Really wish I didn't need this job. I could conceivably try to get by on the 20 hour maximum student employment offers. But, that's doubtful. Half the money I'd make would barely cover rent. And of course the money I spend on gas... I'm spending at least 50 a week if not more factoring in trips home. Which would leave, what, 5 dollars for food in a month? I am trying (and failing) miserably to save some dough but I guess that pipe dream will have to be contained within the summer months.
Heaven is calling, if only I could go right now.
After school yesterday I did a great job of slacking off and getting nothing done. I really plan on getting somewhere today at least. But yesterday, nope! Online from 1 till 6. Went bowling for a little bit with Smuda and Brad which was fun. We tried the lanes in Superior but it was leagues, so we went out to the one in Hermantown. First game I did my typically pathetic barely breaking of 100, but the second one I made it to 130 or so. Which for me is amazing. I doubt I'll ever top the 160 I once got but, it's a goal to aim towards.
I also managed to stay up till 4 last night. My head is kinda throbbing, but in a good way? Haha. I'm not too concerned, I'm just gonna get home and pass out for a while before I get started on my Java at least.
Meanwhile, in Computing Concepts we officially started our team projects. By that I mean I, the only person without a team, sat here blogging and following pro-wrestling news and facebooking while everyone else made leaps and bounds of progress.
Blug.
For lack of a better idea, I went with doing my Powerpoint presentation about Network Security. As if I know anything about that. I should have asked if I could do it on programming. At least that way I would be in the right frame of mind to care enough and do this promptly and well, and I could even show it to the delightful Diana Johnson. Alas, I am suffering from a lack of motivation and shall settle for pounding out one on my original topic one of these days. I would start now but I already am dreading the pointless busywork that is Databases, and I have to do a chapter of work here in a minute or two.
I want to tell myself "Just three more weeks!" but all that leads to is paying for next semester and not being home for the holidays like I would wish to be.
But honestly, despite all of that, nothing can ruin my mood today.
Nothing.
