No Sun Up In The Sky
Jeebus.
I have been working non-stop on homework, projects, and presentations this week and I still have crap to do. An entire week of going pretty much from eight or so each day and not leaving campus 'til ten at the earliest. I will be so happy when this quarter is over. It will be happiness of the nature that you feel when you have been hitting yourself over the head with a hammer a long time and then stop.
Heavenly elation.
NEC has still not called back. I figured they wouldn't call today since the HR director said that if they called me back and gave me a verbal offer, I was to undergo a drug test within 48 hours. If they had called me today, they would have had to find some place in town that would give drug tests over the weekend, which might have been difficult. If they don't call me on Monday, I might just explode of anticipation and angst.
I'm almost finished reading Catch 22 and I really like it. I mean, I already knew I liked it, but I kinda forget just how much I like things sometimes. I think I'm going to try and get my hands on a copy of Closing Time next.
Played the boxing game for Xbox360 today. It was fun and kinda painful to watch actually. The controls are weird but you get sorta used to them after a game or two. Very fun game, very worth playing.
And once again, I'm exhausted. To sleep I go to prepare for the brutal weekend and subsequent half-week of lectures.
Edit! :
People who don't speak their minds bother me. Especially when it comes to dealing with people. Putting on a polite front to someone you don't care for is reasonable, but acting friendly and as though you actually care when you don't give a shit at all is just disingenuous and really irritating. More clarity and ranting on this later, maybe.
Also, it sleeted today. That was a somewhat unexpected surprise for the middle of my presentation.
And lastly, I have to tutor tomorrow morning. These two students are particularly flaky and I really don't feel like waking up early tomorrow. This puts me in a weird situation since they might show up and they might not, and I don't want to be there if they don't show and don't want to be in bed if they do show. Obviously. I wish they would just call in advance to tell me they have to cancel rather than the ten minutes before we are scheduled to meet. Oh well.
