I hate people.
Especially stoners.
Especially when you have to rely on six of them for 20% of your grade.
Especially when they are the flakes you felt bad for thinking they were when you first met them based on thier manner of dress.
Especially when it's the night before the presentation and only the non-stoner has turned in their work to be made into...

I am so beat. I spent the past week working overtime for the preschool's annual art show. The work was completely worth it, though. Little kids are the best artists. Plus, I think we made enough cash to let myself and another teacher work through the summer. Woo-hoo!
So in the middle of a totally depressing day (coversations/thoughts about: the Holocaust, Rwanda, causes of death in the civil war, Virginia Tech, Latin American death squads, etc.) I had one of the more odd interactions I have had with a stranger in my life.
A guy and girl walked up to me, at which point the girl asked a bunch of random questions. She...

They could well have been doing a psych experiment ... when I was at school alot of people ended up being (unwitting) participants in end-of-term projects for psych students. The weirdest one was when they put 'do not remove' stickers everywhere to see how many people would take them off.
But, I think your one beats that for strangeness/awesomeness...

Not that many princesses can beat a bit lip as an avatar.
But, for what it is worth, I am referring to Princess Toadstool.

I made Michael get rid of the cable because it is pointless to spend so much money on useless crap, but I hadn't realized how much time I spent watching useless crap. The only other thing I have to do now is chores or homework--and fuck that. I even went to a non-mandatory work meeting so that I...

Aren't you awfully shy?
clioandeu:
Indeed.
I've been making good money babysitting this week since I've got the week off from work. It's hard not to spend it when it seems relatively plentiful. . . At least I'm sick and it's pissing rain so I can't go out and spend it right away.
humsurf:
i usually spend too much money with vacation time also... i've done a good job not spending a lot of $$$ this week off!
I am so glad the week is almost over for me.
I had been getting ready to plan a prepaid trip to Africa for the sake of reseach (I'm studying African history), but everyone I know who knows any academics in Africa know none in Uganda. But I got a new lead to follow, so that is the goal for this weekend. Anybody else know...

I know that it was once a British Colony.
Woo-hoo! Day one of my four day school marathon is complete, and I know I aced this test. Two more papers and another test to go. . . Oh yeah, and work as usual. Bleah.
On the bright side, I ran into my favorite old coworker and got to bitch with her for a little while. I miss her.

Oh dear school daze dost dwell demandingly on my desk as well.
I now know how sideburns and hookers got their names. Who's says a college education is worthless?
actaeon:
how do sideburns and hookers get their names?
clioandeu:
Sideburns are named after General Burnside of the civil war who had tremendous mutton chops.
And working girls in Washington DC became known as "Hooker's girls" when General Hooker was in town.
Those are the only interesting things I have learned about the Civil War this semester. Whee.

So, I am sitting here wondering if I should write some self-indulgent, self-centered blog about my personal life that no one will likely read or, at least, care about. Truly, I see a blog of mine ending up as some whiny theatre for my pain, like the diaries of my teenage years (oh the angst!). But I'm a little drunk and a little bored, so...

I doubt I'd recognize you.
It sounds like everything's going well for you and you're at least obtaining some of what you want out of life. If you found someone you can trade enough love with to marry, you're doing better than most. As far as school goes, it'll always be there, and a job's a job. There are plenty of work opportunities for a smart, beautiful girl. Yeah, about the whining, you've got to express yourself. Shit sucks sometimes and its good to vent.

And what are you going to do in Uganda? I'm all intrigued now.
And I'm planning on doing joint honours Law and Anthropology in London this September, which I'm really looking forward to.
