So...
Tonight I worked a party for Vogue Magazine. I served some of the world's best designers chilled hor d'ouerves. And all I can say is - there were some UGLY people with even worse outfits. How do these people get away with this stuff? Whatever. The event was for a new store opening up on Michigan Avenue - Dennis Basso. Damn.
So now, I'm going out. Because it's about 2degrees outside w/wind chill. And, because I want to.
g'nite.

Hey, this is a long shot, but I was just contacted by a program called the University of Dreams. It's an 8 week intensive summer internship program.
I was wondering if anyone has heard of this? I'm considering applying.

So.
I'm done.
Just three exams to get through, and I'm home free till January.

Um.
As of tomorrow, this quarter is over. As in finished, completed, finito, the end. Well, except for my three exams, but those don't count.
Which means I just have to finish the paper I'm working on now, finish up my IS stuff, go to class in the morning and my meeting in the afternoon, and that's that.
Has this year flown by for anyone else, by any chance? I mean, do you realize that Thanksgiving is next week? Four weeks after that is Christmas. A week after that, it's new years. A month later is Valentines, a month later St. Patrick's Day, then Easter, then my birthday, and then I graduate. Jesus fuck. *whimper*
So if I dissapear for a while - they funny white men have taken me away in a hug-me jacket.

This weekend...er, more accurately, the past three/four days have been something that I shouldn't ever forget.
I've met more people, had more fun, learned more, and been more "alive" in the last few days than I can remember. Except now I feel like I'm dying. lol. It's taken a lot out of me. I want to sleep for a week.
But I can't - I'm off to work now - last night at this job! *WHOOT*
I swear I'll get to your comments tonight/tomorrowish. There's some still from October 11th that I haven't gotten to respond to. I'm awful, I know. But soon! SOON!

People are leaving for work
and there's a hustle and bustle that's deadly silent
- like rush hour on mute.
Soccer moms are brewing their coffee
and popping their prozac.
The fathers are waking,
filing things into their breifcase.
The children are dreaming still
of things that will be
or might be
or could be,
never knowing that in an hours time
they'll be packed up
and launched into the rest of their lives.
It's 6:30am and I walk through the door,
tired from a night of drinking,
restless from a night of conversation,
happy from a night of friendship,
and fearful from a night of sharing.
As the sun rises, my eyelids lower.
And I wonder - are these the times that I've longed for so long?
Or are these the times I never expected at all?

See, I just woke up and it's 10:30.
My first class was at 8:30. My second class started at 10:00.
Woops.
I have no idea how that happened. I set my alarm, and looking at it now, it's still on. So either I slept through it (impossible) or I turned it off and fell asleep and don't remember it. Which is possible. Just...Oops.
I had a lot of fun last night, though. Plus...Giovanni:) He's a performer. Successful, too, from what I hear. I walked him to his car...*dies* Without too much shallowness, let's just say my mamma would be proud. I don't think I've even *seen* one of them back home. Of course I'm exagerating; I just think it's really cool. It was kinda cute, though. Will, the server, came up to me and was like "I have a friend who wants to meet you, will you?" I said yes, so I introduced myself, sat down, and talked to him for a bit - okay, till closing. After he left, I went back and hung out wtih Arben and Luther and Will for a bit while we gossiped about people and I talked to them about a few...issues. That's a post in and of itself, if you're up for the gossip.
Anyway, both Will and Arben assure me that Gio's a nice guy and that I should go out with him on at least one date. (Arben's quickly becoming my screening process because he knows everyone.) Soo...looks like I'm calling Gio later to arrange a date for this weekend. Yay!
I still feel guilty about missing class, but...date!

Y3eah, I'm a little drunk, perhaps. Oh well.
Anyway, I confirmed tonight several things. A)that arben is my friend, not just my bartender. b)that i am worth knowing. c)that i am worth dating.
That's right. I have a date!!! Friday night. With Giovanni!!! *whoot* More info tomorrow when I am more coherrant.
Basicaly: new job and a date on the same fucking day!

Just got a job offer with a different catering company.
They want me to be a trainer. My "interview" is on Friday, and they want me to start work the following Tuesday. It's a $2 pay increase and I get my pick of days to work - I have top priority, because apparently half of their clients I've worked parties for before, and *they* want me.
Can we say...
FUCK YEAH!

That last post about the raw score prediction model for regression? I figured it out all on my own. Kinda makes me giggle that even the tutor had no idea what to do. So once I figured it out, I emailed a copy of the formula to her.
*pets f-list* It's okay. My response was pretty much the same as all of yours.
So, I finished my homework and got it in on time. Which means the agenda for this evening includes: more Firefly (I only have a disc left) rewatching, hopefully getting some work done on L2bL because I'm about to get death threats if I don't update soon, reading for class tomorrow morning, picking up and doing dishes, making dinner, and reading![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tabaqui's new stuff.
Speaking of fic - I've been out of the loop for so long, I don't know what's out there anymore. Any recs? I'm open to slash from Firefly, Ats, BtVS (hopefully S/X), and what the hell - rec me something new from a fandom I'm not familiar with.

Okay, I totally am.
But I recently discovered that there's nothing better than a leisurely nap in the middle of the day when you know you have nothing else to do. I laid down about 1:00 and it's 5:30 almost now, and I just woke up. Right now I'm shakin off the drowsy, but all in all I feel a thousand percent better.
I also don't have class tomorrow, which means I can sleep till whenever. These are things that my body likes.
G just called to see if I want to go see Saw II. I think I'll pass on that one, considering just the box cover of the first one made me want to toss my cookies. Besides, even though not everyone there will have a date, it'll be majority-wise couples night, and I so don't need that right now. Not in my happy mood. So instead, I think maybe I'll stay home tonight, make some dinner, maybe write a little, watch a movie. Nothing strenuous or pressuring. I'm also going to try and not go the bar and instead enjoy a nice quiet night alone. (Please note that what actually happens may be quite different.)
and in unrelated news: Why did no one tell me about this?

For anyone interested, I *did* finish my project on time, and managed to get a 45 min nap before class. Which is why I am now skipping my second class for the billionth time so that I don't pass the hell out. At the moment, I'm watching firefly eps (Ariel to be exact).
I think it went well. Very well, in my opinion. But I guess I'll have to wait and see. And now...a little r & r.

I'm working on my history and systems project, which is due at 8:30 tomorrow, er, this morning. I'm almost done, but I'm having difficulty applying Adlerian Individual Psychology to the current state of affairs, because right now nothing is screaming "Individual!" in the news and whatnot. The only thing I came up with is more a popculture reference and it doesn't really reflect contemporary society. So before I can go to sleep, I have to come up with something to apply it to. It's 2:44 right now, and class is at 8:30. I may well still be sitting here trying to come up with it , come morning. I've been up since 8 am Monday morning, and it looks as if I'll be up till at least 10am Tuesday morning.
Have I mentioned how much school is teh suck?
Graduation - bite me.

Just got back from the party.
It was exactly what I needed. I met a bunch of really neat new people, had a good sober time, enjoyed myself, and met someone new. He asked for my number, and he's super cute. His name, haha, is Jesus. Can we say, Irony?
Anyway, I had a great time. I felt all growed up and classy standing there with my kiddy cocktail talking about current affairs and politics with men who value my opinion. *sigh* Again - just what i needed right now.

I'm headed out. Gonna stop and get some flowers for the newlyweds and get to the party. It's nice and cold outside, so I get to look relatively nice. It's stupid, but I wish that guy hadn't said that last night because all day I've been obsessing over my image in the mirror. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
