Let Me Be Lonely

I thought I'd throw everyone off and make a post in the mid afternoon. This week was a little crazy. I have been slacking off a little more than I should. So, another Valentine's Day (VD as I call it) came and went this week. Traditionally not my day, it was much the same this year. As a matter of fact, this week has sucked it up pretty badly. This major can really get to you some times, and I had a week of escape. I realized last night when I went out with Nathan and Wes that it's all I talk about these days. That's probably because it's all I do, but still it's pathetic. Who has time for romance though? Not anyone in MIS, that's for sure. I actually had a Valentine. That kinda went up in smoke though, and that's really what this entry is all about. I guess after all the talking and stuff it just turned out that we were too different. I don't know. It was a pretty confusing thing, because I didn't do anything to warrant hostility. What can I say? I just don't get women. Now I have to go speak to one about my failed internship opportunity at Hunt. Diversity, diversity, what a load of rubbish. Well, anyway, I think I'm going to Huntsville for the next day or so. I have some coding to do, but I miss home. I think I'll spend some time with family and friends there since I don't think it will be possible for another weekend in the foreseeable future. So, I'm going to get ready for some more news I might not wanna hear. Maybe she'll give me some reassurance about an internship though, so who knows... Either way, cupid you punk, (in the words of the man Will Hoge) Let Me Be Lonely Tonight.

Work

A new Jimmy Eat World song, and oh boy does it fit. If I could only get outta here. I had my first MIS 330 (Database) test tonight. Most people don't really believe my major is what it is. My mom, and for that matter the rest of my friends and family, just couldn't believe what I said I was going through. They couldn't until I showed them the 400+ page projects I did last semester. So, that was the end of the 400+ page projects. Tonight was an introduction to the world of the Junior year MIS version. Like I said, I had my test. Notice the time of this entry. My test started at 5:00 pm. That's right, it took that long. I was not nearly the last one finished. In fact, I was so submersed in my work that I know I probably was one of the first to finish. There were seven questions on the exam. It was the most difficult exam I've probably ever had to endure. Now I have to study for a Marketing test that I have at 11, and that I have been neglecting due to my other MIS workload. Wow, I guess I am too busy to notice that I have no life. I hope that it's worth it at the end of this long road to graduation. I've laid down a costly sacrifice in order to meet my dreams. I just can't get over that test. Absolutely crazy. Nathan called me like 3 times, and I told him (when I wasn't supposed to have it on) out in the hall on the way to the restroom that I was still in the test at like 9:30. Until he came over here, and just heard that Jason also got out of the test just a minute ago and there were still people in there, did he believe me. In Summation, don't doubt me anymore people. Just recognize that all I have in this life right now is, well, work.
