survey time

Currently I’m on a massive survey marketing promotion. I’m really trying to get 200 surveys filled out by next Friday. Since I’ve been sleeping for the past four months, I really need to step up my game; not just to the A level, but to the umpteenth. I have a few more resources to tap online and then I’m off to do my footwork. Oh yeah, I’m hitting up all the surrounding libraries. I’m going to go from computer row to computer row, sit for hours, and have people fill out my survey. It’s exciting, scary, and stressful, but I feel I can achieve my goal. Surprisingly, I’ve had a good turnout. I just have to keep up with the momentum.

One of the main things that popped up for me while mass distributing my thesis is that some people are just bleh. I make sure I’m a good friend to people and I expect at least equal treatment. I guess I should just let it go. People are just people and they have their own lives to lead. Unfortunately, it did bring up the exact feeling I hated back at home. I felt like everyone was busying themselves with their own lives; no one had time for anything. Although over here it is about the same thing, I do feel that people are more willing to create events and invite everyone. It feels like a real family. Most of my friends back home have their own families and kids to tend to; I don’t and don’t plan on having them any time soon. I guess I have to learn how to move on. Although I did find somewhat of a drive in that, I felt like fine…they are too busy well I’ll just keep myself entertained. Whenever I’m home, I just feel like focusing on myself. Over here its like I actually want to build relationships. I like it that people like to go out seven days a week. I know people back home do as well but it seems they are more focused on responsibilities and work. Over here they do have the same responsibilities but they also want to enjoy life. I like that.

Well…I guess I’ll keep doing what I’m doing. I’m going to make it the top. Whether its in the States or in Europe, I’ll be on top. Magazine articles about my great accomplishments will be written. Doubt I’ve ever told anyone but I have always imagined myself on the cover of Time magazine with the headlines…young, wealthy, powerful, and on top of her game.
