I was invited to read a paper at a student research conference in two weeks, and while I really wanted to, it is on a bad day, so I can't. I guess the honor counts? Although the experience would be better.
My tax rebate came in, and I am behaving myself with it. Just bought a pair of pants and two shirts (on the cheap) to wear to work. I am desperately tempted to buy myself a PSP and the FFVII game. But I don't have time to play video games. I've wanted a PSP for a while, but it will have to wait until I have a salaried job (never) I guess. By the time I can buy one, they'll stop making them. Pffft.
Got offered a teaching job at one of the campuses of the local community college for a Comp class, but I discovered I don't have enough credits (one class short) and it is in Loudon which is just too far away. I got pretty excited at having a real job for about five minutes (and no, I do not want to be a teacher once I finish school up). So what I really need are job recommendations. Preferably not retail, hopefully part time, and maybe 2-3 days during the week, within a reasonable distance. I will need it for the summer and into the school year. I'm tired of other people supporting me financially.
Not really happy with class right now. Don't understand anything. Can't pay attention. Everything seems to be going well for the people around me, but I'm kinda stagnating. Can't.wait.for.summer.
They have been doing construction outside of my building for the past few weeks. It is getting a little old. And before you recommend it, the library is not any quieter. Blah, one of those days.

Draws better than I do...
First, a clip found on another blog. The elephant can draw better than I do.
So my adventure out into DC went well. I saw this really fantastic band, The Raveonettes, playing at the Black Cat.
We also spent over an hour trying to find parking (don't worry, I didn't drive). The only guys that hit on me were not the kind you would let buy you a drink. I will not go into further detail. I did notice one thing while there. Emo kids don't dance. Sway, yes. Head bob, yes. Dance, no. Reminds me of part of an AFI song, we dance in misery. Watching them all just standing in front of the stage for the first band, just looking, was a bit odd. I kept asking and thinking, "shouldn't we be doing something?" For my part, I do not dance, but while I was there I did head bob and sway more than I usually would have. Some people did dance, but it was not the typical nightclub butt grind (thank goodness) you see.
Well, after all the fun and excitement, I have to do something a little more sedate--read Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals.
That's all for today, Monsieur Antichrist.

For Izzy
Because I want to show some of my finished knitted things to my cousin Elizabeth, I am breaking my no post rule.
First, Koolhaas. I am very proud of this:
Next, the Amanda Hat:
Next, an Unoriginal Hat by the Yarn Harlot:
Next, a sock I am working on:
And finally, a Noro-striped scarf that I am also working on:
Talking to Elizabeth put me in a pretty good mood because school has been sucking lately. If you wanted to ask me for money or something, now would be the time. I wouldn't give it to you, of course (don't have any!), but I wouldn't laugh in your face as usual.
Going into DC tonight with the roommate and her friend. Should be interesting. We all know what a social butterfly I am. I hope I just manage not to offend anyone too badly. Need to read Nietzsche now. Wee.
