“My dad, when I was 13 or 14 years old, taught me how to play 5/4 time on bongos. So years later I thought I’d go on the piano and just do octaves and go up. And it just came. 5/4 is nuts, you know. Where does it end? What’s going on? You can’t find the start and stop of it; it’s off.”

—My thoughts on stretching and popping my back after sitting in a broken chair all day working on a paper.
Alright, no more screwing around.
I need to read about 300 pages today, so I can start my history paper tomorrow. So, I’m gonna shut the computer down until it’s done so I can focus. Wish me luck, guys.
One of those days...
- Mom: Your phone's ringing.
- Me: Yeah, I know. I've got it right here.
- Mom: Who is it?
- Me: Kelly.
- Mom: Who's that?
- Me: Someone from school who I've had a number of classes with.
- Mom: Oh. Well, why didn't you answer it?
- Me: Because, I don't want anymore human contact than is absolutely necessary today.
- Mom: Riiight. Ok...
Busy, Busy, Busy...
The only drawback to getting a job and an internship at the same time is that until recently, I never had much to do and could afford to be lazy. Now, I’ve got a lot to do, so I’m exhausted by the time I get home. The Entertainment Council is having a series of small lunch time concerts this fall, so this morning I helped set up the portable stage and all the speakers, amps, etc. for that. Then, I realized I forgot to print a paper that was due today, so I ran home, proofread it, printed it, and grabbed some leftovers for lunch. Then, I ran back to school, helped dismantle the stage and cleanup after the show, went to a meeting for my internship, started working for my internship, went to a 3 hour class, and then came home. Since I’ve been home, I’ve drifted between dozing on the couch and working on my internship, simply because it’s the busiest day I’ve had in a long time. I’ve got 3 papers due before Wednesday, an application and personal statement to finish for a special filmmaking class, job training later this week, and more internship stuff. It’s gonna be a looong week, but I’m not complaining. I’m thrilled to be doing stuff I like while being productive, and I’m thankful to have a job. Life is looking up.
EDIT: Also, to all wishing me congrats on that last post, thanks!
Last week, I got a job. This week, I got an internship.
Specifically, I’m the ASUCD Entertainment Council Cinema Coordinator Intern, as of today. I am on a roll!
A moment in my "America in the 1960s" class...
- Student: "Sir, I was wondering what you thought of–"
- Professor: "Stop. You're going to have to stop calling me 'sir'. It's weirding me out. This is a class about the sixties, man. C'mon, man!"
