Today was not a good day.
Hell, it wasn't even DECENT.
But I have the next 3 days off of work, and my goal is to do so much schoolwork that it makes my head spin!
I posted the assignments that I all have now left on index cards on my door. Not much. Lots of work on each, yes, but it's nothing I haven't done before. I just gotta do it again. Really, the research is the annoying part. Writing it isn't so bad actually, once I get a rhythm going. But there's definitely going to be a lot of research and writing over the next couple of days.
But the group assignments are aggravating me. None of my group members have contacted me at all. I mean, seriously? The group projects are all due next week.
Tomorrow, I take another step forward in my semper invicta world. Join or get left behind.

| Mad Men season 3 finale.... |

Wow. Still reeling from the finale last night. It's going to be a very long wait till season 4.
And they played this song during the ending. I think the lyrics go perfectly with the story. Makes me want to load up my ipod with all my Roy Orbison tunes.
**EDIT**
If you would like to download the song for your own play list, here is the link:

I have 3 assignments due next week (not this upcoming one).
3.
So essentially, this week will be spent preparing for next week. It also means I have to move Japanese onto the back burner, if only temporarily. -_-
Speaking of deference, work on the 10-year anniversary blog will also come to a terrible and grinding halt. How annoying this all is.
It's amazing how I started this weekend full of optimism that I was gonna get things done, and then came out with very little. Shame on me.

Originally published at The Fast Money Round. You can comment here or there. These are my confessions about my role in ruining WEXP La Salle Radio.
Those are strong words coming from someone who spent four years of his college career caring for the amateur, fledgling radio station as if it were his own child. But yes, I messed up a bit and I need to get it off my chest.
There was a transitional meeting at the end of my term as General Manager. That meeting’s purpose was to lead the incoming managers in the right direction of leading the station. I missed that meeting due to personal matters I rather not speak about in public. That’s where my messing up started and ended. I should have attended that meeting or at the least I should have rescheduled that meeting so I could have attended.
Where are we now? A general manager that can’t type, an executive board purely devoid of diversity, of gender, race or musical preference, and a podcasting system set up where only one person podcasts their shows. As much as the General Manager would love to blame me for all his ills, the facts that there has been zero innovations at the station, zero interest outside of doing shows, and zero interest in upgrading the station’s equipment show that the problems facing WEXP are much more than me missing one meeting. It’s the Adam Bagni-like, proud attitude of the current GM that worries about the station once more.
Leadership is important. The current GM is not showing the proper leadership. My worry is, I have a feeling he doesn’t even know it. |

So, my grandmother died today. She was all morphine'd up, and it was very peaceful.
I'm fine with it, since it wasn't exactly unexpected. The funeral's on Monday, so I'll be in Miami until Tuesday.
It's just been a really hard semester for me. Last night my vertigo came back, so now I need to go see a specialist. In all likelihood, I'll waste a lot of time, energy and money on doctors, and it won't even end up helping, in the long run. The alternative, though, is that I'll just continue to worry about it, and it will make me miserable. Sigh.
To top it off, my TV is broken, and it's going to be more than $400 to fix. T_T
And to top THAT off, my car's GPS broke. And let me tell you, I can't navigate Atlanta without it, because Atlanta is a freaking warren of roads that make no sense.
Also, I don't think I mentioned, but my roof started leaking a few weeks ago, so I had to have some dude come and fix it, and that cost some money, too.
I'm just feeling... Kind of overwhelmed, I guess. There's just SO much going on right now that I can't help but fall behind in my schoolwork, not to mention my various projects. I hardly even know what to do with myself. I mean, maybe the vertigo is stress-related. Who knows?
I don't want to make LJ posts only when I'm upset or anxious or whatnot, but it's just been a common theme, lately. I far prefer making excited posts about the various things I'm working on.
Sigh.
So yeah, funeral. |
