Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable
Liz:
I would if I could afford to get to New Orleans. This is why I am hoping my spring break tour will be heading there this next March instead of D.C or San Antonio again.
Slick:
So I am curiously coming to grips with what I am doing with this summer and how it relates to my life. It has really made me think about how much I'd like to learn more about history and probably do some cool engineering things, but really, I'd still probably be lazy in whatever discipline I was doing. For me, it's always been the other things I do that make me the happiest, like music, photography, cooking, baking, building, exploring, inventing...
Possibly this is because I've never really felt like coming to Waterloo for math was my choice; I kind of felt pushed into it and it wasn't entirely what I wanted to do, but it was partially what I wanted to do and it helped me avoid making a decision, so I rolled with it. On the other hand, my hobbies and interests have always, well, been my interests, I've just never thought to follow any of them professionally. I really need to do some of this.
I really want to work several jobs this summer and garden and make cider. Building a press and apples is not trivially cheap, though, so I need to make money, and going to B.C. is not cheap so I need to make money. That is why I'm working the overnight shift three days in a row starting tomorrow. It is going to kill but earn me many dollars.
I also need more people reminding me what I like to do. This girl who got back together with her ex after considering me for a short while would have been a great influence on me, I think. I know she's a good influence on me now, and I'm talking to her less and less. My friend who suggested my baking blog helps, and even the fact that Dan mentioned an interest brewing is something to keep me thinking about it regularly. One of my long-standing cooking buddies is suggesting I go to the Canadian Undergraduate Mathematics Conference, and I think that's a great idea to get me going.
I think one of the big problems with my present living situation is I'm sick of my roommate and that she doesn't make me want to do nice things. Not that she makes me want to do bad things, but she doesn't make me really happy and she doesn't inspire me to be nice to her. I also probably make me not want to do nice things for her, which certainly contributed to our decline. It's not really that she's a bitch in the least, but that I never felt like she respected me quite as much as I wanted.
At any rate, I need active, constructive people around me or I forget my own projects, and my present roommate and I are too much alike in our lazinesses that we're a negative-reinforcing loop. We're great when other people around, but on our own, we're kind of shit these days.
Also,

Dear Blog Thread,
In order to try and be healthier, and have more money, I've decided to quit smoking. It is day five, and I still want to kill things. I am in a terrible terrible mood and want to do nothing, which sucks because the weather has been lovely the past few days and I've not taken advantage of it, instead just staying in bed with my laptop and eating ridiculous amounts of chocolate to make myself feel better. As well as being a downer, the past few days have given me time to think and plan a fantastic little trip for myself in September, which would take me to New York City for 2 days, then up to Boston for a day or so, then back to New York and home. During this time I would meet up with a few folk, go to a few shows and hopefully, regardless of the fact that my 21st birthday won't be for another month and a half after said weekend, get absolutely wasted.
Should be rad.

Holy crap, blog thread, I just applied for 3 jobs online, none of which have anything to do with my major and none of which I particularly want to do. I am just desperate for a job. I have only been in this situation once, but it didn't last that long, but it was between high school and college, not college and ohmygodLIFE. I need to stop worrying and sack the fuck up, but it's hard.
That, and my mom is being a bit of a jerk (she's moody) about a lot of things and when I tell her I need to use the car to go job hunting, she gives me the dumbest looks and reasons about how I should not drive around to do that. Well, NOTHING IN THE WANT ADS IS RELEVANT TO WHAT I CAN DO AND HAVE EXPERIENCE IN, KTHANKS. I want a job so I can move. If I eventually find a job that takes me out of the state, I'm pretty sure I'll take it if I have the means of getting there. Also, if she gives me any shit about Toronto and tries to keep me from having a vacation, I'm going to blow a gasket.
Real life sucks. I want to go back to school and stay there forever. (No, I don't, but I keep saying that because I am scared shitless.)

You want us to give you a virtual kick in the pants every now and then? I mean, I could set up a recurring email that would tell you to get off your lazy ass and go do something every day or two. Like, on Mondays it could tell you to bake, on Wednesdays to work on your cider press and so on...

When in September? The internets want to know.

It's honestly not as bad as you think it will be. Remember this, though. No matter how freaked out you are at the moment, getting married within the next six months just because you're kind of freaked out about your next move would be a bad plan. That is all.
