finals

Ahhh, its that time of year again.... The snow is falling, the mistletoe hung and everyone is starting to get cranky....yes, folks, its finals time. I'm already starting to feel the burn of finals. Did you know, as of this moment there are 6 class days left before finals. NOT long enough. Don't get me wrong, I want (NEED, actually) this semester to be over, but finals are killing me already. Well, just the thought of finals is ripping me apart already. My brain has started revolting already. I can't sleep- I just lay awake with my brain wandering off onto some random thought. ITs not on purpose eaither, theres nothing worse than being tired after you try to get some sleep. My problem is simple: I can't get my brain to turn off at night. I wish it were simple like just pressing a button, or (forgive me) regenerating like the Borg. Yes, Jeff has sucked me into Star Trek adn I am actually enjoying the occasional episode.... maybe thats my problem- star trek is sending me subliminal messages to not sleep and, instead it just wants me to watch more episodes like it feeds off of idle minds. So as you can see I am pretty sleep deprived at the moment (as evidenced by that tangent) and its disgusting that I'm already freaking out and stressed about finals. Anyone else in the same boat? maybe we can start a support group......


Isn't college wonderful........

away messages

we're all in college and college life is stressful so quit putting stupid ass away messages up that proclaim to the world how stressed you are because of school! Get off it - we get it! All your friends are in college and college is stressful for everyone so don't think that just because you have an "away message" up (which is the lame-est of lame) saying that you're stressed and then continue to list everything you have to do- that any one will give you attention or pity. Geez - its just immature and grow up. Away messages aren't about soliciting pity or attention.... they're just a witty little message to put up so people don't bother you and for people to look at when they got nothing better to do.

sleep

So this weekend I got like 20 hours of sleep and I still overslept for my class this morning! I tell ya, I either get too much or not enough- I have yet to achieve the perfect sleep/awake balance. Oh well I'm having fun doing both. :)

I spend more time cuddled up with my text book than i do with my fiance... that makes me want to vomit!

I hate school.
I just want to graduate.

...I just want to bang on the drums all day!


poop shoot

ugh

Isn't the point of college, to teach you skills you will need for a career once you're done? Yeah, thats what I thought. But apparently, not only do you need to have a college degree and education, but you also need to have fulfilled an externship or internship position! Most people want to hire an employee who has some experience, for me that means that I need to acquire some sort of externship this summer. Easier said then done. There are about 70 students from UWO alone that will be eligible for these limited externships available! Now, how is a girl supposed to find time to fill out these ridiculous applications, when I already feel like I'm drowning in a sea of impossibly small type faced texts! Its simple- i don't! I do feel incredibly overwhelmed and feel that in order to be a 'superior' candidate for a position I need to write a really unique and convincing essay. Uh, the only problem is that I suck at writing creatively, especially about myself. College sucks balls most of the time, but I know it will be worth it later. IF ONLY I had won that powerball last night.... I'd be singing a different tune!

"so long, farwell....."
