That's the Way this Wheel Keeps Working

A finally things are beginning to turn up, minus the whole "I can't make it to my 8 A.M. class to save my life" thing.

This week I've been trying to get a job and get my intent to graduate filed (2 months late).
Monday I had an interview with a bank here to work as a teller at one of the local branches. The interview went really well and she promised to call me within the next week or so. Then Wednesday I had an interview at Red Raider Outfitters, and was asked a bunch of retarded questions. But that interview also went really well, because today I got offered the job and took it. The bank would have paid better, but I really needed a job ASAP and they were too slow getting back to me. Besides, Red Raider will be more fun, and my new roommate works there! She hooked me up!

All week I've been dealing with the Mass Comm advising office trying to get this graduation thing worked out. My adviser told me last year that I was fine on the intent filing and didn't need to do anything for a while. He was a big, fat liar. After I got a warning on my account for the thousandth time I decided to go check out what the problem was. Turns out I needed to file on or before May 9, 2008 to graduate in 09. They really fuck you at university. I filled out all the papers and it took me forever to catch the head adviser and get a time slot. I saw her today and she totally helped me out!!! Not only did she approve me to graduate, which usually takes months, but she worked out the rest of my year so that I can combine some of my minor classes for honors credit, lessening the amount of hours I have to take in the Spring.

While I was there, I figured I'd ask her about getting some more photo classes in, because I am not allowed to take any more as a non-major. Immediately she said "Not a problem!" and gave me the names of people to clear it with and said she could get me into several of the Mass Comm Photo classes, but I could also take some within the art department! So SWEET.

Next up, the boy situation. Maybe something cool will come my way.

I move tomorrow afternoon, so I won't have internet for a while. Sad times.

I bought this sweet ass fly swatter clock at a shop down the street last week. It's going right in our kitchen.
