I suppose I should update today since I actually did something besides stay at home and do homework at least one day over spring break.

Before I get to that, I've been looking for a job that I could hold this summer to no avail so far. It's going to be difficult to get one, I imagine because I am leaving for a variety of states on May 25 and I'm not going to be back for about a week. By the time I get back, everyone is home from college and out of high school, so there are essentially no jobs. I was looking for some kind of work study on campus, but I have not been able to find anything thus far. I was hoping that my current supervisor in the Lang Tech Center would be willing to let me work this summer to help move everything over to Dwire Hall since that will be open, but I have no idea how much that would be, and it probably would not be enough to make a big enough difference.

I really could use a monetary boost, as I am seriously getting poorer.

I was convinced that today is Saturday. It's not, fortunately. I still have so much to do in the next three days it's not even funny.

I hate Spring BReak, because now I'm not motivated to do anything else for the rest of the semester, and my grades are too low for me to start going into coast mode. I can get a good idea of possible coasting action this next week as I'll have a Chem exam done (I'll be pretty close to 600 points out of 800 in the class), a Cell Bio exam done, and an ancient egypt essay done.

I'm still only guaranteed to pass two of my classes, the OChem lecture (I have like a 54% guaranteed) and the OChem lab (where I have a 58% guaranteed). So basically, if I fell over and died, I would get a 0.17 GPA. I am incredibly close in Physics and Civil War, and after this week, I should be guaranteed to pass Cell Bio, Anthropology, and next week I'll be there for ecology and physiology.

So anyways, yesterday. Driving to Denver was absolute horror as it was snowing the entire way and there was water there and general disgustingness. Of course, everyone drove at 100 mph while Ray goes at 65 to make sure that he doesn't die.

I got to Denver, and got a wonderful parking spot. Saw the woman I worked for and a few of the professors for a couple of minutes. Then at 2 I went and saw Becky for the first ime in a million years, then I went to coffee with Pearl and we caught up on life and discussed the nature of existence, more or less. I won't go into too much detail here because we discussed a lot of stuff that she probably would not want discussed on an open blog and I probably would not want it either.

Then we went to Maggiano's (which I cannot pronounce for the life of me) for dinner with Maricor, which was exquisite, except for this thing called Sambuca. If you hear the word sambuca, run like hell. However, if you hear about tiramisu, you probably should indulge on that matter. This was followed by shopping at Target, library reasearch and friendly discussions until I left Denver at 1215.

I really want to download Melinda Doolittle's full length studio songs from American Idol and a couple of Jordin Sparks' songs.

I would discuss more, but I am not going to do so right now.
