In the Meantime...

While my life is its usual crazy whirlwind, I have something for you to enjoy but I will get to that. I am graduating in less than 6 weeks. That's my major update. Here's all the little things:

I finished all my theater Practicums! Yay for a basically finished theater major!
Pending I pass my Cognitive Psych class, pre-emptive yay! for that major too.
My involvement with Active Minds and Mental Health Awareness is as life consuming as ever.
I need to reschedule my psychiatrist appointment? Yea can someone please tell me to do that?
I was just in a production of the Vagina Monologues, It was an awesome experience, and my first time on stage in a theatrical sense! major accomplishment!
I still have no job, and kinda a place to live but not really, I think I'm on living plan J now. Focusing on Job still, well I'll admit I have done NOTHING Job related until today...
...I worked on my shit today! meaning my Resume is beautiful and my cover letter templates are hot.
I am presenting at the student symposium at LFC (1 presentation I have not finished)
I am presenting at the ACM conference 4 days later (1 presentation I have not started)
I love to play the Djymbe in my West African Drmuming Ensemble,Wasa Wasa. (just thought I'd throw that in the mix)
I've been fighting off a carpenter ant infestation in my dorm room since before spring break. NOTE I HAVE A PHOBIA OF BUGS. My roommate and I took out all the food, a friend helped me clean and sweep everything, and we sprayed the room with some very strong anti pest thing. That seemed to work for a while before spring break, But I came back and they were back again. I sprayed again but only a little and never got to finish but then I found dead ants on my floor like little presents. So I know the spray does kill them at least. My friend and I sprayed the whole room again. hopefully its work this time.
This coming week, I convinced myself that waking up at 5am both Thursday and Friday is a great idea! I have volunteered myself to work at a sociology conference in Chicago for one of my prof's. I do get payed, and my transportation is payed for. Plus I told myself it would be a great networking opportunity, except for that fact that my class schedule is not letting me stay much longer after my shift before I have to leave so I can catch the Metra back to LFC. Don't know how much networking will be done from behind the registration desk.
My Truck is still broken, poor baby, but I did get it towed! so at least its at a mechanics shop. But even he doesn't seem to know whats wrong with it.

WOW that list got long. There is so much to do in the next six weeks my brain might explode. Something that keeps me grounded, music, like this new song by Crystal Bowersox, one of my favorite artists. It's called Dead Weight, and its very powerful and beautiful, and as Crustal said herself in an interview something along the lines of the more you hear the more meaningful it gets. So please enjoy while I continue the life I keep forgetting to blog about. Love your all, Peace. -Sam

Time fly's when you realize you don't like your crazy life

So I apologize for not having updated in quite a while, as I did promise not to get to busy during the school year. I already see it happening but I'm not going to let it catch me. I am generally unhappy tonight which is a major reason why I am writing. I need to write so that my feeling don't get all bottled up. But I have realized that I don't really like the life I am living at the moment. I am slowly losing the passion for school, but keep looking towards the end goal which is my diploma. I am mostly unhappy with a lot of the people and drama around me. My college is so small its no different from high school, maybe even worse. And I feel like people never actually leave here, because even once that bitch in the front row graduates she still finds ways back into your life. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of losing friends because of the awful environment that surrounds me here, outside of class that is. Let me say this, that I do love my school and the education I'm receiving here, and some of the professors are pretty amazing. But other than that I've just realized that this is not really the right place for me anymore. My heart and happiness lie in living somewhere else that is other than here. I might not be sure exactly where yet, but I know I'll need to get away from this place and leave a lot of people behind. Not now of course, because I intend to finish my last 2 years and graduate, but still to get away from it all as much as I can until then. I know there are good people in this world I just have to find my place. Peace
