Save us from sleep and what we are
It's probably been a while since I wrote on the livejournal. So as an update to anyone that still reads into my life, know that grad time is coming. There have been few developments lately, but such developments are still a bit significant. Just a bit. Nothing too major.

Firstly I had my art show. Abby came by to see the artwork that was put in it. Well, honestly I've been really iffy about it. I mean, the work sucks, but it's mostly because I just don't fukken care anymore about the major. It'll probably be my downfall someday, and I keep getting this itching suspicion I'm going to fail this course. I dunno, I just really stopped caring at this point about art, and it's like, I really want to just be done with it. Also, Alicia and I have been talking about favoritism in the art department. Apparently I've been pretty blind to it, because I hadn't really noticed it too much prior to our conversation. But honestly, it's true. They let certain art majors get away with anything they want because they're the department pets. If they like you, they won't care what you put up on the wall to a nice degree. If you're on their bad list, you really have to work to earn their respect. Because of this, Alicia's been on the deviant side for a while now, and by the sound of it, made her pieces last minute. I'm all for it. I understand how she feels because we're in the same boat. I figured they liked her because of her philosophical approach to art, and just how much content there is to her pieces. But it's still bogus that the art department pet threw away her stuff because it was 'in his way'. That's stupid. Even if they were beginning drawings of projects, he had no right to just chuck it. And no, no action taken on part of the department. The same department pet actually called me out on one of my lazy moments. I didn't apply matte board to one of my drawings and asked me if there was a specific reason why it was like that. I basically BS'd the reason why, but I made it sound pretty damn good. He might be the pet, but when it comes to me presenting stuff I know about and/or is personal to me, I can talk my way into and out of situations. One for me, Zero for him. He basically said 'O...okay, whatever.' And then I smirked.
Grad time is almost here. My friends got me a nice present. I've been into Horrorclix ever since Josh and Adam and I wanted miniatures for our Left 4 Dead version of Zombies!!!. The biggest prize of Horrorclix is the Great Cthulhu horroclix. And guess what. Adam, Rachel, Josh, Laura, James all chipped in and bought me the Cthulhu clix. Here're some pics.

Here's the thing. I included a few items for scale reference. On the table is a little thumbtack and a sucker for width reference. This guy's freakin' huge. And spikey! I mean it actually kinda hurts to hold him. I didn't know what to say. I mean it was so amazingly nice of them, they deserved hugs at the very least. Now... I reeeeally hope I graduate, hah!
The RA Banquet is on Monday. On one hand, I hope I get RA of the year, but on the other I hope I don't. The reason being that I'd only get it because no one else deserved it. I didn't really deserve the award this year outside of me satisfying what my staff was looking for in an RA. I mean my programs were mediocre, my residents knew me alright (but apparently gave me very positive reviews), and well, it's normal for people in the offices to like me. The only thing that really stands out as far as my performance is the fact that I went in to meet with my higher up and talked about my concern for next year's leadership. I talked on here about a certain RA-to-HR that is bogus-ly going to abuse his power. And I went in there, voiced my concern very rationally, and I guess it at least showed that I was in it for more than the money and benefits. You know, like I'm a real person, ya know? It's my duty as a citizen or something like that. But I did say that if for some ungodly reason that RA-to-HR gets any sort of award, I'm going to say 'bullshit' and walk out on the banquet. I'm not standing for that. I doubt he'll get anything, but you never know. Somehow the asshole got Head Resident for next year despite all the negative feedback, negative recommendations from his own HR, and poor performance. Yeah. Somehow. More on that later.
Nothing lined up for the summer yet. I'm not nervous, but I do need a job. I can already see the importance in getting steady income. After doing some stuff with funds and loans and things, I now know basically all my paycheck goes to that and gas. Ugh. I see why you normal people complain about money. I'm abnormal in the sense that I don't give a shit about money, but still try to be wise with it. 'Try' being the key word.
As long as I can pass Senior Seminar, I'll be fine. That's it. Goddamn, so much pressure here.
P.S., I'm also addicted to Coheed & Cambria.
