Sittin' at Home

There is really very little for me to do right now... I am bored off my ass because, you guessed it, I am at home. This is really just like last week where I was left in Kent to work and everyone else is gone. Now everyone is gone, there's just no work for me to do. I've only been home for 2 days and I don't know if/how I'm gonna make it the week. Then again, I'm not exactly going back to anything that much better, just a more comfortable bed, but oh so much more alone...

Excited for no good reason

It's true. I really have nothing better to do with my time. A normal person would probably go to bed out of sheer boredom, but not me. I'm not normal. Nothing new there. Plus, this new supplement I'm taking apparently have enough caffeine in it to send Robert Downy Jr. through the roof. They tell you not to take it less than 5 hours before bedtime and I can fuckin' see why.

So the real reason that I'm excited was that I saw the away message of a guy I knew in high school and haven't talked to for years. It just started "If you hear any noise it's just me and the boys..." From there I finished the lyric out loud, then blasted "Bop Gun" surely annoying whatever neighbors I have. I've only even seen an attractive blond and that was once. Funny story there actually. I don't think she was aware that there was one more apartment down the end of the hall, so I come walking at her at my usual clip, faster than most people, and as I approach, I smiled and nodded at her and as I came right up to her, she stepped back into the door and clutched her purse. I looked back visibly confused as I walked past her and unlocked my door. Even through the iPod headphones I could hear her sigh. It was kinda funny then, and I think even funnier now. These are the stories I'm left with now. Bored as hell out here, and I only get vacation for 8 days, then I'm right back here the week of New Year's. If there's an upside, I'll get to watch as many bowl games as possible relatively undisturbed. Now if I could just find something to occupy my brain for more than 10 seconds, I'd be set.

Finally!

Well, I finally have the time to blog again...

I have now officially completed my first semester of grad school. I cannot begin to explain the load that left the back of my mind when I got done Wednesday morning. Just getting through Cybermedia Law was a huge achievement, despite the fact that I think I blew the final. I did already get one grade and it was an A, so I think I should be able to avoid academic probation. If they have that for graduate students. They might just kick our asses out. Hmm, should probably find that one out. Either way, I'm just happy to be done for now, knowing that I have a ton of research to do, professors to beg to be on my committee, reading out the ass, a proposal to start writing, and a case study to design. Oh, and I need to do most of this by January 19 and I'm only off of work for 8 days around Christmas. That sounds bad but since I usually only work until 2-3pm and I'm back into a school sleep pattern (i.e. very little) I should have plenty of time to do this. Not to mention that there's really only about 4 people I can stand talking to out here, and they've all taken off for the break. So being here alone will help with the workload. Not that I forgot how lazy I am, just that I'm hoping boredom will be a motivating factor.

Almost There....

So I'm sitting in my final law class of the semester and besides the obvious (not paying attention), the thought struck me that it's already frickin' December. I'm having enough trouble dealing with the idea of this lake effect snow crap, and we're far enough south that we don't get to worst of it... ahem, fuck. But more importantly, there's only one week until finals and as I should be freaking the fuck out, I'm oddly ok with it right now. I'm sure that in the next day or two as deadlines get closer and closer I will most likely breakdown. Hee hee. I already don't so much sleep so this could be really fun...
Especially since I just remembered a paper that is due on Thursday that I haven't even started. Well shit...
