Yet another overdue update
Ok, so I've been slacking in the Blog department. Used to be about bi-weekly but it's quickly turned to monthly. Seriously, I'll try to improve that. Now, moving on to something more substantive.
Again I was contacted by someone wanting to come to USD regarding getting scholarship money. If they get the offer extended to them, then I arguably helped 2 people come here with much greater financial ease. Excuse me while I pat myself on the back (and kiss my own ass a little). I'm obviously not the only reason they get any money (if they do), but I certainly helped which makes me just a little happier.
Just not reading as heavily for crim for a couple days has left me about 50 pages behind. I didn't stop reading, I just spent a little less time doing so. I'll catch up by the weekend, I swear. I mean, It's not like I pay attention in class, the least I can do is read for it.
To a totally unrelated topic and one which will undoubtedly mess with the flow and coherence of this blog (I don't care), dinner. I've been thinking about some spaghetti with meat sauce from the local Italian restaurant for about a week now, but have yet to have a day where I could say to myself "I could really go for some right now." Until today. So I walk over at 9:20 and say "an order of spaghetti with meat sauce please" to which the guy behind the counter looks behind him and says to me "did you order it already?" "No." To which I get the response of "sorry, we just closed." Again, this happened at 9:20 (ok, fine, 9:21 since I'll overestimate and say that it took me a minute to walk there though in reality it was probably no more than 30 seconds). Now I purposely waited until 9:20 to order this for 2 reasons. First, I was reading and knew I would finish my reading right around 9:20 (in fact, I ended up finishing what I wanted to read at exactly 9:20). Second, I know that they close at 9:30 and the spaghetti takes about 7 or 8 minutes for them to prepare leaving them ample time to prepare my spaghetti prior to officially closing. Am I irked? Not really. Am I surprised? Not really. Am I hungry? Not really. Why, then, you might ask am I telling you about this? The answer is simple. It just happened and it's on my mind. Ok, ok, undoubtedly it sucked that I've been thinking about it for about a week and was rejected the day I finally decide to pull the trigger. But, eh, I really don't care that much. I guess the only thing that really bothers me is the fact that I now have to think of what I want to eat because I'm really starting to get tired of going to the same 24 hour Mexican joint. Granted the food is awesome there, I'm tired of eating there 3 times a week.
Ok, back to something more relevant (read: less pointless). Jobs. So I thought I secured a job with the Attorney General. Apparently I was wrong that the job was already mine and it's now iffy whether or not I'll actually be able to work there. This totally blows. I was really looking forward to working there, but, unfortunately, was not too good at demonstrating my enthusiasm during the "interview" (which I was given very implicit implications would not be an interview but rather an informal meeting since, as was represented to me, the job was already mine. Sucks to be me as I came in neither prepared nor dressed for an interview). I guess it's not so bad because he seemed quite open to giving me another opportunity as it was obvious that I was not expecting the meeting to be an interview. Crossing fingers waiting to see what happens.
So I finally went snowboarding with my bros from home again. I had a BLAST. It was awesome. Hitting the park all day with my bros is totally how I want to spend a day on the slopes. Hit the boxes cleanly (until I got tired and started having difficulty balancing) and finally got some semi-solid grabs in towards the end of the day. Of course it still sucked that the last hit ended in a not-so-great fall because I speed checked too much. Oh well, hopefully I can hit that up again in a few weeks.
I also decided to volunteer for Admitted Students' Day (the last 2 since I didn't know about the first one until it was too late). Hopefully it'll be fun and I meet some interesting new people (who, if it all works out, will be hot =)) and convince them to come here. I LOVE SD and don't see how too many people could feel differently. I also want to run for cabinet for the club I'm in, unfortunately I have friends who want to do the same and I'd really hate to step on anyone's toes. Whatever, no offense to anyone whose toes I step on, but I guess I must if it comes down to it.
Hmm, so I REALLY REALLY want to go surf again, but am being cheap and have yet to buy a wetsuit. I guess that leaves with just the option of waiting until the water warms up. Oh well. It certainly doesn't help that the bros have been asking me about where I got my board and how much and to look for them. It just reminds me that I'm not in the water and haven't been in months. GOD, why can't the water just be warm??
I really need to learn to play poker more consistently. I mean, I almost always know what's the right thing to do, but more often than not choose not to do it. Why? I have no clue. Eh, whatever, I'll worry about that later as I should get back to catching up for Crim (especially since there's a poker tourney this weekend and St. Patty's Day is this weekend. That just means inevitable drinking and possibly getting drunk).
