So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from...
Is it over yet?
Tuesday, March whatever-the-fuck @ I don\'t even c
Edited for sleep-deprivation-induced spelling errors.

Too many ups and downs today. Like any rollercoaster, it may be thrilling at first, but after the 8th or so time, the ride gets stale.

- What's up with the cold weather? It's fucking Spring you moron. I'm not supposed to be freezing my nuts off here.
- Woke up around 3:30 am to finish that goddamn project. 24 pages later, I celebrate by not showering and heading directly to school. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
- 10:00 and it's time for my anthro final. Whoops, guess who didn't read the last 8 or so chapters in the book. Good thing it's anthro, and therefore bullshittable. And bullshit I did. Partial credit, here we come.
- A hearty meal does not a stale croissant make.
- 6 hours of studying for my calc final. (Not like it would help.)
- Got a call from the internship people: I got the internship over at NASA. NASA: FUCK YEAH! Best news all day. Definitely the high point of these last godforsaken 18 or whatever the hell hours. I can't even fucking tell anymore. Maybe I should stop trying.
- Calc midterm at 6:00 pm. First half was as expected, which is to say: rapeage. Second half was not so bad, with "not so bad" meaning "I actually finished it all. As for those answers being correct..." The instructure INSTRUCTOR better fucking curve that exam. Sounded like pretty much no one finished the first part.
- Got to my car and noticed I didn't have my keys. They could have fallen out of my coat pocket in any one of the rooms I visited today. Had to call dad to drop off the spare key. Waited in the dark parking lot while cold wind stung my face. Again: it's Spring, you dickwad. Where's my mild evening? Nowhere to be found, I guess.
- And now we're caught up. Oh, wait. I got an e-mail from the internship office saying that I need to bring my Social Security card. One problem: it's lost. Why is it whenever you start a new job, they ask for that damn thing? Well, at Pomona, I got around it. I forget how exactly, but I did. Don't think I will this time, though. Have to get a new card. What's that--like, 4-6 weeks? Bullshit. What I don't understand is why they make you prove you have a fucking SS card every time you start a new job. Why can't they just, I don't know, have a national network where you can get that sort of information so that I don't have to do the same shit over and over again for the rest of my life. I'd rather get a fucking microchip with that information implanted in my middle finger than keep presenting the damn SS card for the rest of my life. Fucking lame.

Ugh, I'm done now. Tired of thinking. Must go to bed. Well, must print out my damn replacement card application first. (Yes. I'm still bitter about that.)

Goodnight, friends. And enemies? Go fuck yourselves.

What I dont understand about this cali weather today is where the HELL did the wind come from. Crap! I felt like if I hopped in the air that I could travel backwards. I had my head down and trying to friggen limp with my bad leg.

I wonder how far across the south east the wind reached. My mom said it was crazy windy in Vegas and here it was crazy windy too. It would have been nice had it not been for the wind.
Congrats on getting the job with NASA!!!
