Satellite transmits my voice

I. Today. Where to start.

I have two job interviews! Both are slated for Monday, both are for (I think) sales associate positions, one is in Culver City (half an hour away) and the other is in Carson (an hour away). I'm looking at one hell of a commute if I get either of these jobs, but they're interviews! Huzzah!

Of course, I still need to finish my stuff for Activision...going to get to that if I have any down time this weekend.

SPEAKING OF THIS WEEKEND. amorsinseramada and I are piling in a car, first to hit up a career fair at Pepperdine, then to head down to San Diego to watch the Air Force game with my parents, who got us tickets. I've only been to SD once and spent most of that time in the convention center, so it'll be nice to see the rest of the city, and to see my parents. Mom's been a bit calmer about this whole unemployment gig, and she's thrilled I have interviews. I have no idea how Dad's doing, but I'm bringing him a hat with a golf ball on it. Obviously this fixes everything.

So yes, I'll be away from the internet all this weekend, though I might hop on phone AIM every once in a while. I have dual interviews Monday. Tuesday is last minute costume prep (attaching a new hood to my Org coat, fixing a popped seam, adding a stick to my fake popsicle, and picking up gloves) and then it's off to Disneyland with lynxgriffin for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. I am so unbelievably stoked about this. XD

So yes, I'm not entirely certain what's going on with my life right now and I will be a bit scarce all weekend. I'll catch up on memes and tags (oh man so many tags) when I get back, I think.

BE AWESOME, PEOPLE. ♥

Whoever planned this week needs to never do that again. Don't get me wrong, I love my sisters to death. Thing is, I'm not sure I want to see them for mandatory events every day for eight days.

Well, okay, tonight's formal wasn't mandatory - was an absolute blast, actually - but the point still stands. That is just waaaaaaay too much stuff back to back. Fortunately, all we've got left is the Gamma Games meeting Saturday and Gamma Games itself, as well as formal chapter, on Sunday. Hopefully I'll have some energy before then.

The rest of this post will probably be about RP, so those of you who don't care about that aspect of my internet life can skip the cut. |D

( THE CUT )

...oh dammit that's not the entire issue.

( Cut the second. I lied - it's not all about RP. )

I've been telling people I've been marking time until Thanksgiving break, and while that's true, I don't think it's the whole truth. I think I'm just marking time until this semester is over. I thought it was going to be a lot easier than it actually was, and that certainly came back to bite me in the ass.

The washing machine in the dorm is broken. I have a hamper full of dirty clothes. Needless to say, these are not desirable circumstances.

Homecoming week is this week. I had to back out of the Lip-Sync because I had too much to do. *sigh*

I've really started to dislike my English 101 class. It's useless and may as well be conducted online for all the good the class sessions do us.

...or maybe it's just all they good they do *me.* When it comes to this English class, I am not a happy bunny. 

I'm rather enjoying French. We have to write another paper, though - this one's on somebody who's inspired us, a role model.

I really hate doing papers like that. XD; I mean, really, what are you supposed to say to an answer like that? It's not like I modeled my life after Marie Curie or Winston Churchill or Lindsay Lohan or somebody like that. And I have no idea why Lindsay Lohan is on the same list as Curie and Churchill.

I figure I'll write about my parents. I mean, who else has more influence on their kid's life?

That, and I lurve~ my parents. My mom found and sent me pants that fit without me trying them on beforehand. She is a miracle worker, I swear.

...and an awesome cook. How long 'til Spring Break?

And on a side note, the general is visiting. So beware.

So. Last night was crazy.

My parents arrived, first of all. This is Parents' Weekend after all, so they'll be here until early Monday morning. First thing we did was go out to dinner at Moonhadows. I had my first steak in more than two months there. Half of it is still in my fridge. (Ribeye on Monday...mmm...) It was unbelievably good.

Then my mom went back to the hotel (she flew out here with a cold, yechh) and my dad and I went to Midnight Madness. It's basically a huge pep rally to kick off the basketball teams' seasons. The highlight for the parents is a chance to make a shot from half court to win free tuition. They had a raffle to see who got the chance. Guess who won.

Yeah.

So my dad made the shot. It was short by maybe a foot. But it was AWESOME.

My dad is disappointed with himself for not making it. I told him that it was amazing that we even got the chance, and he did pretty darn well, considering he'd been up at 6, packing, on a plane, and basically going all day. My daddy = win.

*totally a daddy's girl, and proud of it, thanks*

I went to Ralph's with a few of my sorority sisters after that (because everything else in Malibu was closed). That's the reason I'm having a fruit pie and Coke for breakfast. ^^; (I did not wish to eat my muffin. I am dumb that way.)

And the General came to visit last night, so I have that to deal with for the next few days. (Every time I have to "deal with it," I'm tempted to wing one of my "dealing devices" at the Superior. Just because. XD) The weird thing about it this time is, not only am I on the same schedule as my friends, I'm also on the same schedule as some of my friends whom I only know over the internet. That's actually quite creepy. 0.o

Today is pedicures and shopping, followed by the "casual banquet" catered by the school and the PIT (Pepperdine Improv Troupe) performance tonight. PIT = win. I nearly busted a gut at their last performance, and I am very much looking forward to this one.

So, until then: cheers!
