My Turn (not for the weak at heart)
Keeping with this week's theme, I am going to take this opportunity to have my own little rant - exactly what I didn't want to use this site for. I'd tell stories, but the problem is, I really don't have any - which, as you can imagine, is the reason for this next bit.
The thing is, I really do nothing. In fact, I have seen Days of our Lives 5 times in the last 2 weeks (how sad is that?). My little Texas adventure started off on such a promising note. I got to play in a ball tournament the second weekend I was here, found myself on 3 summer season teams, made some cool friends, saw some movies, and eat some great food. That first week was like a nice, little vacation. But now, coming up on the end of the 2nd week, I am bored out of my tree. I spent two days this week attending orientation - learning how to manage the money I will not be getting paid, how to claim benefits that I am not eligible for, and how to login to the computers that I won't have access to – entirely useful stuff. Then, yesterday morning I was finally allowed to begin work on my very own project. Great right, except that I managed to complete the whole thing by late last night, leaving me with 2 and a half months to work on my presentation.
What’s the next step then? I am going to use some of my newly-acquired psychology knowledge to give myself a personality test. I already know what it is going to say - that I don't have the 'right stuff' to be a Mars Mission astronaut. Why? Because I can't stand to not have anything to do. And, because I choose to complain about it. Relaxing vacations? Never. Slacker job? Never. Keep me busy!
Let us examine my plans for tonight then. I am once again going sit my butt on the couch and spend 2 hours watching Friends (Rachel and Ross will get back together, Monica and Chandler will be surprised by twins, and Joey will join them in the hospital for some random choking event). Maybe I will write the MCAT - it will give me something to worry about. Or, maybe I will take up smoking. Anyone want to join me? Someone please help. Entertain me!
