[Feeling] [Pleased]

Good news came to me on Monday after class. I went to schedule an appointment to see and advisor about my impending graduation after this semester. Well, the lady said that there wasn't a wait if I wanted to see an advisor right then. I waited about 5 minutes, saw and advisor and after another 5 minutes, I was all set up to walk in MAY!!! Woo-hoo!! It's official then. As long as I pass all of my classes this semester, I get to go through graduation ceremonies, the whole nine yards. On top of that, I found out that I only have three hours left in the summer to finish up my degree instead of 6 like I thought. That means I only have to take one class this summer. As in one in only one summer session. So this is it! Of course, I have absolutely no clue what's next.

This great news comes along with uber work to do. I have 1 research paper due in a week and another group paper due the week after that. Oy, advertising research is hard. So this weekend I will be finishing up my research and writing the entire paper for next week. At least I know the direction I want to go in, right? I mean, there is that art of BS'ing that always comes in handy, and I have a pretty decent topic that leaves a lot open to discuss since it's a controversial issue.

The knife and stick fight is in less than 2 weeks. I'm really nervous and as far as I know, I'm the only girl competing. So if there's any support out there who wants to come, let me know and I will hook you up. You can also buy your tickets online. $10 advance, $15 at the door. 11am til we finish, which will be about 4pm. I would so love it if some of my blogging community came to see me in my martial arts action. I've been working really hard, and I suck compared to all of our fighters, but not too bad, because I am, after all, the girl. And besides, there are 15 other fighters competing besides the ones from our school, so I bet I'll have a chance at beating at least one of them (?)

Well, I better get back to that research. Such a relief to almost be done. At the same time, a bit scary. Later.

[Feeling] [Annoyed]

Ok, so many of you are probably wondering if that guy called me or not. Well, he didn't call when he said he was going to. Instead he called at about 1:30 am Fri/Sat. Since he's from out of town, he spent about 1.5 hours trying to convince me to come get him to go have breakfast or something. Towards the end of the conversation (and about 20 callbacks later) he revealed to me his true intentions, which had nothing to do with breakfast. *sigh* The attention was nice, but that did it. I reluctantly gave him my email, and went straight to sleep, without a thing on my conscience. I felt a little cheap after the conversation, but I don't blame myself. I guess it goes to show that guys really can be assholes when they're drunk and horny.

Other than that, the rest of my spring break was pretty calm. I didn't get the spring cleaning even halfway done, training was a bitch, and work was boring as usual. I went out with Nikki and Christine downtown, but it was hell because of SXSW, so all we could do is hang out at a couple of bars and stand around. We tried the Boyz Cellar and danced for a little while, but Christine had to go to work early the next day, so we had to call it a night at 2am.

I start school again tomorrow, which I'm not looking forward to, especially since I've realized I may not get to walk in May because of a technicality. Kind of took the hope out of things. Boy I hope my family isn't disappointed.
