Hump Day

Connect the dots....LA LA LA....connect the dots....LA LA LA

Ok if you didn't grow up watching Pee Wee Herman, then you don't know what I'm talking about. But it's Wednesday and I'm at work spinning around in my chair, bored out of my mind, singing songs from 80s television.....BOOOOOO!

I feel like I've been to work for weeks with no break. In reality it's only been 2 days. This is what happens when you are completely useless at work. I mean they've given me literally 2 tasks to do in the past 2 months. What do I do in the meantime?

Check email....school work....check email.....NSBE work.....check email.....play games..... check email.... BLOG..... check email....

The funny part is during the school year, almost every time I check my email, there's something new in there. Now thanks to summer vacation and my new lessened NSBE responsibilities I get like 10 emails a day....versus like 50. And most of my email now doesn't require a response. I just read it, say that's cool and then move on.

Bottom line..... I'M BORED OUT OF MIND! I don't know how much longer I can take this. Especially because in about a week, the workforce at my job is about to get cut in half. Yeah a lot of folks at my job who get real salaries (as opposed to my stipend and a graduate assistant) got laid off. Their final day? May 31st. Almost EVERYONE that i talk to on a consistent basis at work is about to be gone....then I'm really screwed. I have no idea what I'm going to do this summer.

I always try to look busy at work, but I'm thinking that I'm just gonna start taking books with me to work and reading. I mean really I've been waiting to read for fun for a while now. And I normally get to do that over the summer, so why not?

Is it lunchtime yet?

Part 2....Not So Big....

OK I have more to say even though it's extra late at night and I have to get up extra early. I've decided that I no longer wish to be the fat girl. But I must find some way to motivate myself to shed all of this outer unhealthyness to reveal the person that I am on the inside. This will involve learning how to cook better for myself, and actually coming up with the strength to do it on a consistent basis. I'm not really excited about going to the gym though, so I'm gonna need to find some better ways to get some excercise. The Lyon Center just isn't appealing right now, although the fact that the droves of skinny sorority girls are gone for the summer makes it slightly bearable. I'm thinking that I'm gonna go buy a Dance Pad and Dance Dance Revolution for my X-Box. Hey they have a workout mode in the game and I can upload my own soundtrack to the hard drive. DDR to the Ying Yang Twins....hmmmmmm.......

Not So Free...

So the verdict is in...the grades have been posted and Syreeta will be spending another semester at USC. ARGH!!!! Oh well....I enjoyed thinking that I was finished while it lasted, and graduation was fun. Now I'm registering for classes for what will be my 15th consecutive semester at USC. Damn Master's degrees....I don't even want it anymore, I just want to live life. But it's too damn late for all that and I can't quit now. Why can't they just give me my paper so I can leave. They don't really want me there anymore and I don't want to be there anymore. Why can't they just send me on my way so I can go make a whole bunch of money? I promise to donate some of it back to the school. Wouldn't that make them happy? GIVE US US FREE!!!

On another note I've noticed that all my damn posts revolve around school. So I've decided to add some of the happiness of my life to this post. Kim and I are going to see Brian McKnight & New Edition on Friday...YAY! I wanna see how far back New Edition is gonna go with the song list. I wonder if Ralph can still hit those high notes, he was like 13 when they recorded some of those songs. I'm in need of some kick it time, so hopefully this will do the trick.

Free at last?

So I'm finished with finals....finally. And I should probably be really happy and excited and stuff.... but I'm not really. Maybe it's because all of my procrastinating and my new fascination with this blogging thing has caused me to not do very well on my finals. I left my test last night ready to cry. Which can only mean one thing...there is a very high chance that I'll be back at USC in the fall for my 15th semester. Yeah yeah I know, I'm getting a second degree, but dammit I'm so ready for this to end. I'm not looking forward to summer school and I'm not gonna be happy if I have to come back in the fall. Why can't they just give me A's so I can leave....boo on life right now.

SChool....Is it over yet?

Will this never end?!?!?! I've been in college since the last millenium...can I leave now? I swear this mess will never end. I'm already irritated that I have to take another class over the summer and depending on how I do on my final tomorrow I may have to stay longer than that. The problem? I don't feel like doing this at all and despite the fact that I have two finals left, my brain is already at graduation, waving and kissing the babies. WTF. And of course I pick the day before my finals to decide that I want to start blogging. Anything to avoid studying for my tests. I'm really over this whole college thing and I need it to be over....NOW!!!!
