yesterday:
ten and a half hours on campus….in a suit. suck.
i had an interview with expedia.com today and it went really well (i had been studying most of today and sunday for it). it would be neat to get an offer from them.
today.
i hate the way school makes you want time to pass. we don’t have too much time as it stands and yet we want it to go…especially when you have lots of work to do and only a week to do it in. three papers, three tests, seven days. ugh.

The Valentine's Candy for the Rest of Us
For most, there is no crueler day of the calendar year than that of Valentine's Day. While a tiny fraction of the population can look forward to a holiday of wine and roses, poetry and song- the vast majority of us can anticipate a day of nausea and grimacing, trauma and grief. A day in which minutes seem like hours, and hours like days, as we reflect sorrowfully on yesteryear's romantic indignities, today's loneliness, and the unknowable but certain heartbreak that will be visited upon us repeatedly in the years to come. ahhh, i could not have said it better myself. valentine’s day, the day that society looks at me and smiles as it asks “you have a girlfriend don’t you?” i reply “uhm, what makes you think that?” “you don’t? why not?” the simile becomes a hard look of disapproval and speculation as to what’s wrong with me begins.
of course, this is one of my favorite real life scenarios, because for some reason i throw this “i have a girlfriend” vibe that people pick it up and are surprised to find out i am actually a lifelong single loser. ah well, this year’s valentine’s day holds a special place in my heart, on that day i have two in class final exams, a take-home final exam due, and a project presentation. overall, 16% of my entire gpa for this quarter will be determined that day (rather alot). to the extreme!
on the plus side, i don’t think the failure of my personal life will seem nearly as bad as the failure of my professional life (the two are in constant strife for title of “current largest failure”).

i just had one of those zen moments. baldauff was harassing me in the kitchen and i was like “isn’t it crazy, the year is almost over.” “yeah, things have been going pretty quick.” he said. then i had a sudden insight: “you know, if this year keeps going this way, it’s going to end.”
ah well, at least he and i thought it was funny. 15 days till school is done. in that time i have three papers, three tests, a presentation, applications to all academic research programs for this summer and other miscellaneous crap. ugh. also…16 days till my 21st birthday…that’s crazy. (18 days till vegas (!))

laze
this weekend definitely got its negative-anti-productivity on, ugh.
only two more weeks plus finals left in winter quarter. the ending of a quarter feels like the frantic rush in the tv show "er". voices in my head are yelling "i need 50ccs of motivation, stat!" as i complain, "i have a bad case of three papers due in two weeks and no ability to write anything intelligible." "we're going into summer research application season, give me the resuscitator or we’ll be spending the summer ENJOYING ourselves sans career furthering." "sedate him before he decides it would be a good idea to drive to mexico." right.
oh, i found this to be entertaining:"For me, love is very deep, but sex only has to go a few inches."
