Rambling random thoughts. WARNING: Incoherent post ahead

As I type this, I should be reading and typing responses to two more chapters of Mosaic of Thought. It's Saturday night. I have no motivation to do so, but I have to get going because I have no time tomorrow. Somehow I think I bit off a little more than I can chew when it comes to the whole community event planning, school, two jobs, getting along with roommates, trying to be a decent human being thing. It's just not working. I'm going insane. Why can I never find a decent balance between work and play? Why did I just use the word decent three times in one paragraph? Why do I think of a hundred other things to do when I'm supposed to be doing homework? Why do I ask so many questions? The next chapter I have to read is a chapter about questioning as a comprehension strategy. Maybe that will help me. Anyway, I'm off to make some tea and sit down to study again. Blah. I love my life. Really, I do. If I can only tweak it a little to play more and work less. Good thing we are going to the cabin next week. I will need a real weekend after this mess of a pretend weekend. Ha! Later.

Mildly amusing

My most recent conversation with the parentals this evening went as follows:

Me: Hi, it's me! I just called because I wanted to let you know I found this really great organization here in the Twin Cities that I am going to apply to...

My dad: Does this organization pay money?

Me: Why is that your first question? Of course it does. It's the organization of "yes we pay cash money."

My dad: Good, good. That's what we look for in jobs for my kids. Organizations of paying cash money for work.

Can you tell they are getting just a little sick of me doing Ameri-gigs for two years and my general "stop me before I volunteer again" attitude towards life?

Yeah. That about sums it up. I don't want to jinx it, so I'll let you know about said organization in a later post...stay tuned!
