1) The writer’s strike is FINALLY over. It’ll still probably be 4-6 weeks until we start getting new episodes again, but at least I can hope to see a new Office or 30 Rock before I graduate…assuming NBC opts to bring them back (they have a history of doing really stupid programming things, but I’m hopeful).
2) I think I’ve found someone in a class I dislike more than Green Shirt kid (who’s been my nemesis for years now). Some background: my econometrics teacher is somewhat oblivious. He’s a nice guy, but not exactly acclimated to the sarcasms of younger generations; the type of guy you can mock incessantly and won’t even get that you’re mocking him. That’s what this kid does: every class, nonstop, he’s loudly making comments and such, espousing false excitement over the content, and just generally being an ass. It might be occasionally funny if the prof got it and laughed along or something, but he doesn’t. So instead it’s like kicking a puppy. Only he’s kicking it with a shitty long island accent and air of entitlement that makes me want to turn around and slam this laptop into his face. A lot. A lot a lot a lot a lot a lot.
3) I need to write more. In this past month or so I’ve sat down to write a dozen times and ended up accomplishing nothing. Topics included a rather telling analysis of a Bonnie Tyler video (including a clever titular allusion to hellogoodbye songs – speaking of which they’re finally recording a new album which makes me happy), the wonders of xanax withdrawal and why I love LEGOS, and a fanciful recollection of the time I accidentally had a girlfriend. Fun times, right? Maybe this weekend I’ll sit down and do some serious scribing.
4) I hate econometrics. This class is worthless and my new nemesis won’t shut up and the girl next to me keeps trying to look over and read what I’m writing so I’m trying to sit with my laptop at a skewed angle to stop her but it’s uncomfortable. Maybe she’ll read this and get the idea: STOP READING OVER MY SHOULDER! IT’S MAKING ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE!
5) I’ve decided I’m not going to continue applying to any firms that might want me to do something resembling econometrics. No finance or consulting or any of that business for sean! Hopefully if I apply to enough television or movie studios one of them will give me a job doing something and I can eventually get into production – I think that might be what I want to do. Or work for the SEC…that seems like it could be an entertaining job; and one that occasionally allows a person to exact rather draconian measures of revenge on douche bag tri-state b-school people who are WAY cockier than is ever necessary for anything – like my new nemesis. God I really can’t stand this kid or his stupid hat and shitty Abercrombie fake fur lined coat. I have some issue.
6) I think I may skip my next class, get sushi, and sit around playing zelda while drinking hot chocolate. That sounds better than walking half a mile through the unreasonably cold weather to go to a lecture. On that note, what the fuck weather? It was in the 60's yesterday and most of the past week, and then you go and pull this freezing bullshit on us. Not cool. Especially since because of your recent warm streak we had most of the windows in the apartment open and didn't think to close them last night. That made morning fun. Regardless, hot chocolate and saving hyrule is sounding better and better. Wow I'm a terrible student. I should probably start working on fixing that.
