I don't want to do work

No kidding? How did you guess? I'm so close to being done, and yet still so far away. God damn it.

I went to see Chicago with Alex and Josh last night. It was a little weird, but mostly pretty cool. I don't think I would have liked it much if I hadn't liked the genre of music, but I did like it. Most of the outfits were not very flattering and detracted from the movie a fair amount, but it was still pretty good.

Josh is installing his CD-RW drive he got for Christmas.

I made an appointment for my drug test for Sandia. (9am on Wednesday the 21st, building 925, East Enterance.) They don't have me in the database yet, which worries me a little bit. Getting a job without ever seeing the people in person is a little bit weird and I'm still paranoid that it will fall through. That would suck. It would really suck a lot since almost all my savings is going towards the apartment.

My temporary drivers license arrived recently, so I can drive again and stuff. I found the local social security office's address online, but I'm not going to try to take care of getting a new social security card until Wednesday because I still have all that stupid work to do.

I'm actually rather enjoying the story I'm working on for fiction writing, but there are still other things I'd rather be doing right now. I still need another 4ish pages for my fiction writing portfolio and I need bring the piece I'm working on now to an end (which may well take more than 4 pages anyway). I also need to revise one of my other pieces. I'm not sure which one to do yet, but I'm not particularly worried about that. I should get to work. Maybe I can get done with fiction writing by dinner time. That sounds like a good goal.

Ebay != Work

Why is it that when I get so close to being done I lose all my motivation to keep working?

Poking at Ebay stuff is fun. But spending money isn't very useful. I'm gonna be useful now, really. No really! Why are you laughing? Do you not believe me? Well, I'll show you...

3 more units down!

Having already done work is definitely a good feeling.

Blah

So, there is something intimidating about having an entire semester's worth of stuff to study. Maybe if I didn't believe that I can't learn a semester's worth of material in one day, I would be able to sit down and study. But I don't believe that and I can't make myself believe it. Instead I believe that if I don't know it now, it's too late to learn it before the test. On that note, I'm going to go hang out for a little bit and then I'm going to go to bed. I wanted to call my parents, but their phone is still busy. Maybe I will try again in a little bit.
