The nerve of some people

Right so, ever have one of those days when you go "what the hell is this jackass thinking?" Well, that happened to me yesterday.

So far, breaks been wonderful for me. Errands to run and what not, but overall, fine and dandy. Spent a whole week+ with the girlfriend in DC, time of my life. Get home last night, check my school mail, and I've got an email marked "Urgent" from one of my professors for next semester. Now, I've never met this guy, but let me tell you, he's made a bad impression. The bastard has assigned homework due the 26th of January, and warns that we should start it asap, as its gonna take "5-10 hours to do, and there will be another assignment sent out next week". Now, to make sure you understand, this shit is giving us work to do, on break (which your not supposed to do) BEFORE the semester has even STARTED!


Now, please, if my being pissed at this is irrational, please let me know :P (dont really tell me if im being irrational, i'll just say nasty things about you :P )

The State of Brutus

Right, so, I just got back from Thanksgiving break, which was much needed, tho not as great as it could have been. For one, I didn't get any work I had planed to done, and all this week I have been paying for it, dearly. Me and sleep have not seen much of each other, and I am so sick of typing papers I almost want to chuck my computer out the window (working on a damn 20 page paper will do that). Also, we're behind on comming up with presentations and yeah, kicking my ass all over the place.

The big downside of the break tho, was the call I got Tuesday Night. Turns out a friend of mine had tried to kill himself. He managed not to, backed out at the end, called the cops, and was rescued. Turns out he had some kind of latent non diagnosed case of depression. We don;t think he'll be coming back next semester, which sucks. What sucks more is he visited the apartment he'd been at before his mom took him home, but she wouldnt let him stay the 5 extra minutes for me to see him and say hi and what not, so I'm a wee bit upset with her right now.

All of that aside tho, the break was good. I did get to relax, and my girlfriend was able to come down. The family seemed ok with it, which is good, cause I intend to have her come back down for Christmas. It might be harder to get that Ok'd with my family tho. They can be...old fashioned and bitchy about things. Christmas is for family and what not, and they may not want my girlfriend there. They might be thinking that I'm moving "too fast" but really, when your own grandmother got married 6 months after meeting her husband, do my mom and dad have any room to bitch? No, I didnt think so.

But yeah, right now I'm sitting in the campus library, taking a break between working on different projects, trying for the love of God to get the damn song "Baby its cold out side" out of my head :P....stupid music.....
