drama rama

Where can I begin? I know let’s start with academics. So on the 27th my 3,000 word (about 10-12 pages) essay is due. How many words do I have written down thus far? Besides the title, I can confidently say not a damn one. I need to get going on this seriously. Unfortunately life is always getting in the way one way or another. I have been doing research for it but as of late (particularly this week) I have not done one single thing. I did speak with my Brit friend Matt about it and I sort of have a better perspective on it. I seriously need to get down to organizing myself better for this and the impending April exam. I am so, SO, SO grateful the exam for me will be in a day instead of two or three hours. Ugh. Don’t get me started on that one too. How much have I studied for that? Absolutely nothing. I need to get down to what’s important and this is very, very important, especially after all the money I dished out.

Speaking of money, my income tax refund is set to come in tomorrow. Hopefully I won’t get audited. You can never be too careful with these things. I just don’t want to completely get my hopes up with this money. BUT if all goes well. I was going to split the money; half is going into debt and the other half is all for me! So, I was either going to go on a little shopping spree and save the rest but now I’m thinking I want to spend it on a new notebook. My old computer is getting kind of old. OR I can do a bit of traveling. I did see a great deal for Nashville at under $300 for both hotel and flight. Also, I want to go to this festival that is happening in Ann Arbor the first weekend in April. Not to mention I told my friend I would go with her to Vegas at the end of April. BUT in all fairness, Nashville was going to be my reward for finishing the essay. I never did treat myself for finishing my dissertation in time. Again, this is another area I need further organizing.

Remember how I said that life always intervenes whenever I’m working on an important paper for school? Well again I’m in the middle of finding a new roommate. I guess it just senses these things. I finally asked the roommate to leave but little did I know that the guy would find a place in a week. I barely have two darn people to come check out the place. UGH this is so stressful. So….if I can’t find someone relatively quick all those lovely plans of travel and purchasing the macbook will go up in smoke. I really do pray to god that things work out very well in this area, especially with this bad economy.

Oh yeah the bad economy…. Four people got laid off this morning from my job. I was scared and still am quite a bit. These were definitely out-of-left-field layoffs. No one expected these…although I did have some suspicions after one of the girls who got laid off updated her status on Facebook. (Great invention, no?) So I’m scared because I have no money. What I do know is that I for sure have to step-up my employment game and seriously look for a part-time gig at least. Oh these troubled times we live in.

Ah…trouble you say. How’s about a fresh new stalker for you? That’s right a stalker returns. If only I were kidding but I kid you not. One of the biggest stockers of the company returned a few days ago and who does he ask for? Why me of course? Great! Now people are going to think I’m associated with him.

Speaking of those lovely associations, how’s about a fresh new coworker for you? That’s right the coworker is back. We saw Coraline last night and had drinks afterwards. Well you should know how the story ends. Now I’m in limbo. I can’t be dating a coworker. We’ve definitely crossed the point of no return. What happens now? Are we dating? Oh brother! What’s going to happen now at work? Do we discuss this? Oh crap! This is why I stayed far away from the dating scene. Oh my goodness, my Guiness.

Guiness anyone? An old chap from England moved back to New York. I’m super excited to see him and super curious as to why he returned. From my understanding of things, he wanted to attend graduated school over there. He had been there about five years and wanted to get out of the town he was living in and move to London. Anywho I guess we can discuss that over drinks because my social schedule has seriously doubled. Oh what a girl to do.

Indeed, what am I to do? I think a good organization is definitely needed. After that I’ll figure it out as I go.
