So I finally turned in my damn fratority paper. I have a suspicion I'll have to redo some part of it, if not all of it.
I have determined I would love to work in a college when I finish, simply because of the hours. Evidentally, people who kinda run things here, or so I have noticed get to name their own hours. Maybe they have on a sign somewhere "Open 8-5" but if they up and decide to close at 3, take a 2 hour break in the middle of everything, or have an hour-and-fifteen minute lunch break an hour or two after getting there, they can. I would love to work in a job like that!
This is just a pattern of behavior I have noted here. Of course I have never in my life needed to go to this place called "The Student Life Center." In fact, in my entire college career, I think I have been there twice. Of course on Friday I needed to go there to turn in this paper. And for reasons not clear to me, everyone who works there decided that they needed to be gone from 11:00 to 1:00. (But they regretted any inconvinience this might create for me! Aw! The fuck you did!) Despite wanting to go to Mrs. Reed's class, I was stuck waiting around for these deadbeats to come back for an hour.
I did get to Mrs. Reed's class where all I did was write a catergory for "Jeopardy" (it's just like regular Jeopardy, but it's played amongst the table groups, and if they can't answer a question, someone else still can. Yes, there is an exchange of play money used in the classroom involved).
Then I helped set up the Walk-a-Thon a little bit, went to Victoria's and bought face paint for the next day (which was good because they paint they provided was crap). Ate at Taco Bell and felt really guilty about it after, partly because it was not nearly as satiating as I had initially hoped.
I went back to my room and drew up/out some ideas for things I could paint on people's faces the next day.
The next day, I woke up at 8:00, bought some soap and a Starbucks. I set myself up at the school.
When I was drawing the things for what I could paint, they were really random and simply things that I could paint with the 5 colors in my kit and that were quick and easy enough for me, and whoever I was working with to do them too. I had things like a rainbow and cloud, a heart (kids have no imagination; they think hearts should only be red, not blue or any other color that isn't red or possibly pink), and a couple of characters, including Spiderman and Hello Kitty. I never thought I would be painting so many damn Hello Kitties! That was the most popular design. But I had a lot of fun, even when my second costumer of the day was crying. They really liked what I was doing, and I enjoyed doing it.
I came back to my room and got the feeling like I should really do something. So I went out with my cousin. That was pretty fun. We had dinner at Applebee's, then we went to a karoke bar in Japantown, we sang nor drank anything, if you go a'karoking, you need to be in a group that comprises approx 25% of the population of the bar. There was a group of women in their upper 20's and a guy who took off his shirt and danced on their table.
Then we went to a club in Mt View that was OK. Too many people, not enough room to breathe, music that wasn't my scene. I'm more into the drinking scene than the scene scene.
Today, what am I going to do, besides homework? A. Flea Market B. Gym (this needs to be the week I get back to the gym! It's been too damn long!). C. Sewing D. Painting E. Homework (OK, E is a definite at some point).
Whatever it is, I should do it.
Why is it that I go to sleep at 3, and I still wake up at 8?
