I am dirty. When someone with the trappings of the middle class has the hygiene of a homeless person, there is only one explanation. Finals. I am now done. I had an open ended due date of course, but both Proffs wanted their papers on the same day. How rude. I am now free and clear. And crafting my arguements about how negligence and idiocy and ( Read more... )

Otherwise known as an insane impulse to buy things. Hum. I wonder if hair care products and anything by Sally Henson promising to make me cuter counts? I am probably not a true Oniomaniac, for you see, finals only last for two weeks, Christmas shopping season is about a month and I don't own a credit card in my own name. There is just something fun ( Read more... )

I like this word and it describes me right now, so I will elaborate ( Read more... )

I have a final paper due both this Friday and next Friday. I went and handed in my pass/fail slip for Federal Jurisdiction. I can't use any of the credits for next semester, so I figured what the hell, why not pass/fail two classes in one semester? Jobs, who needs them? I believe my dad when he says that no one but your first employer gives a rat's ( Read more... )

I went hunting as usual over Thanksgiving Break. I did not get a deer though. Not too many people did. A huge 30 page paper looms over me. I am not exactly thrilled about that. I did some of my first research today, which was pathetic that it took me this long to do any, considering I should have made good use of my class time and not surfed the ( Read more... )

I am in a coffee shop right now with the Coffee House Veteran. She has headphones a knack for tuning out all other chatter. So far I do not. I have two candidates to climb the proverbial bell tower, one credit card thief and an entire table full of rabid bitchy student org haters. They spent an hour and change shredding apart this one girl, and ( Read more... )

I am still a trout swimming upstream, but I feel as if I have surmounted the first hydroelectric dam in my way. I have the details of the housing options out to all of the prospective students I can imagine, with a very broad theme and no bureaucratic obstacles in my way from the co-op end of things. Now, it is in the hands of the students ( Read more... )

I feel like a trout swimming upstream. My crime is simple. I want things to happen, to begin, to move, to change. This is the polar opposite of inertia which seems to have everyone else in a headlock. I feel like I am fighting against four groups of people to get the Native coop started. The professors in the group, the professors in charge of me, ( Read more... )

I spent last night researching and applying for jobs. I got my first rejection in the email box within 12 hours. That is a woman on top of her game. I didn't feel bad, the position requires someone who is already a lawyer and able to start right now. The problem with that is the job is only for a year. People who are not students do not go and join ( Read more... )

Apparently all I needed to do to break out of my funk was to call out other people the way I get called out. It worked marvelously. Suddenly I was having sit-downs with the people in charge who were taking notes on my points. Suddenly I am just itching to go and hit the administration up for money to fund my organization. I like feeling empowered ( Read more... )
