April 2003

So yeah…I still have a ton of work I need to do for finals. I found this amazing site: Cockeyed.com I spent many an hour there reading everything.

I am now in finals….I bought my supplies this weekend, and this week is going to kill me.

I got some rest this weekend, but I am still sick. I know that I will be working my ass off on projects for school throughout the week, so we shall what condition I am by the end of it.

I am sick now…stayed home from work yesterday. Coughed up green chunks. Took a 4 hour nap today and drank about a gallon of soup. Coughed up larger green chunks. Feel like shiz. I think I know who I caught this from. Thats what I get. I still have a pile of stuff to do here. Send a few letters and rebate forms and such. ALso i have 2 final projects I need to do for school. This is going to kill me. One is going to be some painting based off of language. I do not have an idea completely for it yet…and I do not know if I will think of something. But like all semi-talented artists I can just rip off someone elses idea and give it a twist. I am just not please with the assignment…I guess the abstract way would be a bit more interesting, but I have never planned an abstract and it scares me. I was thinking that I could do one based off of a person from my past. We shall see what he thinks of the idea. I would not mind working on it, as it may release some of the tension that has been up in the brain. No VIOXX this year. My photo class I am clueless what I want to do. So I decided to use an idea that I have been wanting to do for a while. My roomate said he would model for me…so I think it would be interesting. Hopefully I can get a portion of that done some night this week so I have time to think about it and work on it next week. Critiques start in about 10 days…UGH. I need to figure out if I can take classes next semester and over summer………………………fun.

So it feels like these Crest White strips are making my teeth melt…they cannot be good for them…oh but you will be so white. Tomorrow I get to go to work then off to paionting and then to MCA for my photo class. What does this mean?? Well for started another paper is due…and second is that I can walk to Water Tower and Bloomingdales afterwords… I am thinking shopping spree. I do not really have any money. Actually I have no money. I found out today that UIC does not have a payment plan…so I owe one giant Lump sum of 2015.22 or something to them…yippee. So what is left in my account after this azz reaming can go towards my 250 Circuit City balance…and if there is anything else left I can maybe put that towards my credit card debt…so much fun. I may have to throw down and buy tickets to go see Radiohead, tortoise, beck, interpol, the beastie boys, the roots, and about 20 other great bands in New York…It is only 150 dollars with camping and 2 days worth of tickets…I think it would be a blast. I posted it on my board and some people are interested in going. Also I may be going to Boston for my work for a Search Engine Convention. Kind of nerdy, ut it would be great to go and meet all the pro's in my field. I may also be goin gto Los Vegas this summer for some heavy drinking and gambling with the Windsor crew…we will see if i can afford it though…I totally would have been able to prior to the UIC reaming….fun fun.

Woooooooo. My Fucking Taxes Are DONE!!!!

So my only goals this weekend were to get a little bit liquired up, do my taxes, clean my desk, pay some bills, call a few people, call my mom, cook, relax and prepare some art related things for school… So far I have gotten drunk, called a few people, started to clean my desk and thought of one thing to do for school. I wish it was a three day weekend.

So I was in a meeting for like 7-8 hours today. It was pretty interesting and I am glad that I attended it. Hopefully this will help me communicate more openly with people I may have felt intimidated by before. Also it felt good to be part of the decission making process that will decide how exactly the company will be run for the next year or so…until we adapt the plan down the road. Tomorrow I know we meet again and discuss what we went over today and actually set up our goals and rewards program. Monday I assume that we will present it to the rest of the company and try to explain everything that we learned. I learned a new term today. ROS. Return on sales. Thats a new one. Very important to our business.

It is Saturday night and I am not drunk. I had a moderately productive day. I woke with an extreme hangover and no recollection of leaving the bar last night. I ate some breakfast and needed coffee. I then went back to bed for a bit or at least attempted to do so. Well after this my sister and I went to visit my grandparent. They seem to be doing well. After this we went to trader Joes where I purchased a bunch of groceries. Then we went to target and I wasted some money on things I do not need. Mainly shampoo and Crest white stripes. Maybe one day I will have pearly whites.
