ANTI-WIN list

[charloween]

1. Left my Metropass on the bus. Goodbye $88 pass, hello a further $120 in tickets and weekly passes from now through until April. *HEADDESK*

2. Have officially pulled out of the donship competition. All of my instincts were screaming at me to run away, and I've finally listened. Housing situation suddenly clearer; also becoming clear is the need to work full-time over the summer for to make rent for the year. Spiffy. On the upside: amyisyellow + naturelf + cohabitation? = hijinks.

3. Because of stress caused by #1 and #2, have officially fallen oh-so-very behind in schoolwork. Also: when I come home in the evening, I can barely keep my eyes open, much less do schoolwork. Am more than mildly concerned.

4. Another early Saturday morning on campus for me this week, this time being the perky Fine Arts student rep at a special breakfast with the Associate Dean of my faculty and a posse of the best and brightest applicants to Fine Arts + their parents. Our mission? To woo these spiffykeen leaders of tomorrow to the York side, in order to have a bouquet of famous people who list York as their alma mater. My faculty, the business school and the law school are, like, internationally renowned for being our own shade of spiffy, so NO PRESSURE on lil' stress-zombie me to put on a smiling face. On the upside, I'm getting paid to have breakfast with these people.

5 (or #4b). Later in the day (11am) I'm going to hang out in a Q&A for Film Studies applicants with that professor I like so much and want to be my advisor for my thesis next year. Again. NO PRESSURE and woah having to really perform. It's not that I don't like my program or my school (I really do; love it to pieces, in fact - selling is easy when you believe in the product) but it's the having to perform when I'm so very tired. So very, very tired. Solution: lots of coffee at the breakfast.

And to make it worse, I keep watching clips of Bill Bailey (http://youtube.com/watch?v=82HHglwXA24) instead of getting anything done. *shame*

Dude... what... what WAS that?? Because it sounded like the German Hokey Pokey, but.... dude??

I finished my Lit Landmarks paper today. *glee* Now I can relax for one week. *stretches*. Except that Alby is going to be here and making me the opposite of relaxed. But it's a nice thought, non?

Bill Bailey is a musician/comedian who came to my attention via Black Books (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utftP4dkg7k). V. hilarious show. Bernard (Dylan Moran) and Manny (Bailey) have his bizarre relationship that (depending on the episode is) shop owner and employee, dysfunctional roommates, old married couple, father/son(/daughter), and whatever other combinations involve one partner being charmingly drunken and abusive and the other mild-mannered and intelligent. Plus it's funny.

I applaud your ability to be productive!
