Another college woe

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

My PSU roommate just reminded me of another class that I almost failed because of my complete and utter disinterest in the class. P-Chem. But I oculd have sworn that my roommate was in the class when I had the female professor that always wore this BIG and by BIG I mean “So freaking GINORMOUS I can’t believe it didn’t wiegh her down” torquise stone belt. We used to joke that she could do magic with that thing. Her name was Barbara something…

The Mommy’s Playgroup

Friday, April 28th, 2006

I seriously went so that I could play with the kids and hang out with the moms, who are friends of mine. And one of them owns a business with her husband. They need some help with their business… mostly data entry and taking care of things around the office. I happen to need a job. So I start on Monday morning. Isn’t life kind of crazy like that? I should go to these playgroups more often.

Michelle: 0, Interviewer: 2

Who knows how the interview went. I HATE talking on the phone. The only thing worse than talking on the phone is INTERVIEWING over the phone. And the only worse than that is interviewing on the phone with THREE women. Oh my. I mean, they asked me questions that they all knew the answers to because we have talked about this kind of stuff before. And I can’t believe that I went through it.

Then, immediately following my interview, I called the professor of the other section of my lab. And he talked with me for over an hour. AN HOUR! And he said that I should stick around one more year and then maybe move on because the place where I am working is becoming notorious for keeping people on a temporary basis. And that isn’t what I want.

It is 7:15 in the morning here and I am worried about my long term future as well as the fact that I haven’t put a single note on paper for class today and I haven’t finished grading everything that I needed graded. Can anyone say shit creek without a paddle? I knew you could.

Why I didn’t pass math 250.

I was going through my files and I came across this syllabus. I am pretty sure I didn’t share the thought at the top with the professor, but can you tell my commitment level from the comment? =)
