all alright
There's this funny thing I do to myself during break--you know, not really taking a break.
I handed in my last serious paper last Wednesday, Thursday I lounged around and did nothing, then came Friday and the work has not stopped. Sixty-four hours in eight days. I'm doing forty-nine hours alone this week, which will look very, veerrrry nice in my bank account. Nine hours of overtime makes a girl happy, but these fool customers do not.
I swear.
When I'm really bored at work, or just can't focus on the silly requests I'm getting, I think about what I'm going to do with it all. I'll have what I worked right now and then my financial aid money. Obviously, the first thing I'm going to do is check on conferences going on globally. No brainer there.
I plan on doing a two week spring break somewhere. I'm hoping to find a good conference going on and then just stay in the country for another week. Maybe longer, if it really seems like a good place to be. C'mon, let's be honest about this whole education stuff--being in a classroom isn't the most important thing when ti comes to my majors. I'd rather be off living somewhere and taking a shitty grade.
The other thing I'm considering is getting a car and just driving around for a while. I want to go out and see the reservations, get in touch with some family we fell out of touch with. My great aunt used to go every year to the family reunion they held in Missouri. I plan on cornering her at the Christmas gathering on Sunday and talk her into going again. It'd be nice to spend a few days with her and hear all the stories she can remember.
Here's to graduation. And here's to money because now I'm back off to work.
It really is sad when people know they should go into your work to find you. Tells me it's time to win the lotto.
