Who Needs Sleep?

Well, not only did I just read my last post and think to myself that I didn't get away from the stress and go home and see my family, but I also realized that when I did do what I wanted in that post it was almost a week ago and I was home for a total of 3 hours. Yes ladies and gentleman, my life really sucks right now. I have had a hell of a few weeks. Let's see, for starters I have gotten no internship interviews. That's right, not a single one. I kill myself for this department, and I have got nothing. I'm giving it a few more weeks. After that, I will come to the grand conclusion that you do nothing for me then I do nothing for you. So, what can I say is going on in my life? Not much really. I got a part time job on campus, and guess what I'll be doing? You guessed it, my favorite past time... coding. That just makes me wanna go out and eat babies. In case you don't know where that came from, it's called Jonathan Swift satire. Except that wasn't nearly as witty as his work due to the fact that cleverness goes out the window with exhaustion.So, I have a test at 8 AM, and I am taking a small break to write since I haven't done so in a long time. I really don't have any news to report. I code all the time, and there's nothing in particular that I can think is interesting. I don't hate what I do, but the burn out point is approaching quickly. I am not so sure that this semester was a good idea. I know that I'll graduate early, but these two MIS classes should never be taken together. So this weekend I'll be coding, and the weekend after that too probably. I do believe thought that I will get a day break over spring break. That'll be cool. I can actually sleep. I've averaged 3.5 hours of sleep for the last 17 days or so. I had a lot to look forward to at the beginning of the semester. I assumed that I'd at least be able to interview at Hewitt, but even they took a bunch of CS majors. I've been dissed a couple of times for people not as qualified, and I wouldn't mind if I was just given an opportunity to compete for an internship. I don't know if it's something on the resume (which I doubt considering the faculty looked at it on more than one occaision) or if there's a political thing behind it. Maybe they're just gonna send a few of us to NC, but I really don't wanna end up there. Better there than Arkansas, but that's not saying much. Anyway, I've been bothered by it for a while now. Hopefully something will work out, or I will have to just stay here for the summer which is the last thing that I wanna do. I'm not the only student getting the shaft, so that's kinda comforting, in so much as I know it's not only me being singled out. Well, I had better get back to this wonderful world of Visual Basic. I need to learn it for my test, and I need to know it for my new position too. Good night everyone. Hopefully next time I get a chance to post it will have better news about my future plans... if not I'll be asking folks around the department more questions than just 'Who needs sleep?'.
