Today is the first day where I have felt like I have done nothing at all and I should be doing something. Not first day ever, but first day since vacation started. I woke up around nine this morning really needing to go to the washroom. I ran downstairs without my glasses and then trudged back upstairs. By the time I reached my bed, I was fully awake. Yesterday I woke up at six in the morning. These past two days I haven’t been able to sleep late which is weird for me, I’m the queen of late-mornings. I’ve been known to laze around in bed until the mid-afternoon, for fuck’s sake. I blame this fucking cold that’s knocked me out flat. It’s made me both lethargic and antsy at the same time; I can’t get around to doing anything. Not even laundry. Which is a damn fucking shame because I am fast running out of clean everything.

Plus, I’ve barely seen the Gentleman this week. I drove down to Mississauga last night at 8 in the evening so we could spend some time together, but alas I had to go home again that night. If I had taken the GO bus, I would have been able to stay, but it’s just more fun to take the car. Plus, I’m still a walking viral infection, so we didn’t get to make out that much We resorted to a Tim Horton’s chat about friends and Tony Robbins.

So now I’m sitting here, it’s 4:30 in the afternoon, I’m still wearing my pyjamas and I have no desire to get up and do anything. Nor do I have any desire to do anything here. I zoned out in front of the television watching The Corporation, which was probably a mistake since you sort of need to pay attention when you’re watching a documentary that expects you to be on the ball. I did get the gist of it, though. I enjoyed how it gave both the Canadian and the American perspective on global enterprises and please never drink American milk, children. Just .. do me that one favour, mkay? Thanks.

I’ve also been reading the blog of someone who goes to school with me. She’s someone who I’ve always kind of admired because she’s really cool looking and reading about her makes me want to know her all the more. Plus, she’s stunningly gorgeous and she’s moving to France in the fall. I can’t help but feel a little green-eyed about her, but it’s not the sort of jealousy that makes me want to hate her, you know? It’s more that I just want to have a conversation with her, discuss things I’ve never thought about before … learn something from her, I guess.

I also want a good book to read. I have several up in my room that are just waiting to be read, but nothing is standing out right now. The Gentleman mentioned Sophie’s World while we were in Chapters on the weekend. I really want to read it, but I don’t have the money to go out and buy it and I owe the library my first born.

I’m being stupid and not working on either my Global Studies essay nor my application for Arne’s research assistant. It doesn’t help that I’ve been taking cold medication all day and it’s messing with my system :X

I’m finished school for the most part now, other than that infernal essay. Silly Arne, he thought he was being nice for giving us an indefinite extension, but really he’s just feeding the procrastinator in me. I intended on finishing it before last Friday, but when I emailed him about dropping it off he never got back to me, so i took that as a sign that I could have until Monday. Now it’s Sunday and I have yet to hit the 2,000 mark, let alone the 3,000 mark which is how long it’s supposed to be :O I know, I’ll have it done by tonight. But I can’t help procrastinating.

Plus, my resume needs to be redone for Arne, and I need a cover letter. Ugh, so much work to be done!

I’ve caught a cold as well, which makes nothing better. I hate having a cold cause it makes me so bloody lazy. I watched Moonstruck for the better half of the day (but I never finished watching it) and the last episode of the Office, which I’m beginning to love more and more.

I also finished up the fanlisting for Florence, Italy. Now all I need is the member’s list from the old owner, so don’t join it yet, if you want to.

That’s all, I guess. I’m finished procrastinating, I think

The gentleman got me drunk. Such an ass!

One essay done, three more to go. Tomorrow is Global Studies for Arne, Saturday is Espionage for Arne and next Wednesday is the dreaded Statistics exam at eight in the fucking morning. Shove it up your arse, Burke, your god damn early morning math exam! :angry:

I made a huge mistake this afternoon. Daniela told me about a possible research assitant position for Arne during the summer time ($12/hour!) and I emailed him about it, right there in front of her :O Oh man, she’s upset. Right now her msn username says Olga’s a backstabbing cuntbag whore, oops! Did I say that out loud? Well it’s true!

I know, I should have probably respected her a little more and waited at least til the end of the day to email Arne about the position, but I was so excited about it! It’s not even any longer about the fact that it’s Arne that we’re talking about here, but rather it’s because I genuinely want to do this. Not only would it be good money (even though it’ll be back breaking work), it’s a scholarly challenge, something that I have never put myself up to. And if I want to get a doctorate in History, I suppose I should get the credentials built sooner rather than later, huh? I’m not going to get accepted into a Masters program without at least some experience with genuine research, right? God, I hope this works.

If you’re reading this Daniela, goddamn am I sorry … but I can’t pass up this offer! And for fuck’s sake, neither should you! Regardless of whether or not I decided to email him first, I think you should contact him about it, see what he says. Or if this is just an old webpage that you found and the position is no longer available, at least you earn the right to gloat over me an my making an ass out of myself. That I bet you’d love. And I’d let you. I really would (not that I ever stand up for myself now, hah, hah. Oh man. :O)

So now that I’ve told everyone about the stupid thing that I’ve done today, here’s some more embarassing news for you to chuckle over. The synagogue is doing a “play” (it’s in quotations because it’s more of a hammy variety show) and today I guess my father and mother decided to lend them my keyboard, which resides up in my room. I have no problems with that, except for the fact that .. well, my room is a sty. Including a mountain of laundry and *cough*usedcondomwrappers* :O I don’t even want to look Jordan in the face anymore because he was the one who went up to my room to get the keyboard. Oh. God.

Ugh, my life is awesome.

Yeesh, I seem to be upsetting everyone with the fact that I don’t update often Leah, to be fair, I had to catch a bus to see the Gentleman and it ended up that I didn’t get the chance to update! A thousand apologies and I hope you’re feeling better :X

It’s midnight. I’ve come home from a lacrosse game - which was more exciting than it sounds! - and some really good Indian food. Oh wait, I’m not home. I’m at the Gentleman’s!
