24 hrs, I need to fill in 8 more

Not to say that I don't have anything going on. Not true at all, but only about 40% of it feels like I'm actually doing something. Let's break it down.

Internship- Mostly busy work. I expected bitch work, that would be fine. You know, pay your dues and what not. But I have spent literally days at a time walking around the agency asking to help anyone with anything. Usual response "um, I don't have anything for you now, I will try to find something and get back to you." Mind you that is after I filed every piece of paper in the department. I know they felt bad about it. So they make projects for me to do, the kind that absolutely have to be done right. So you feel important for the first 3 hours. Until you realize you have not used a single brain cell while checking that numbers match. Whatever, I know I should be more appreciative of the opportunity to get real life experience, but come on. The media department has at least 3 meetings a week with different reps. Though I ask if there will be one coming in everyday, I have been told about 5 of the at least 24 meetings in the last 8 weeks. Not going to lie though, those meetings are cool.

Work-- They really only call me to work like every 5 weeks. I'm not going to spend too much time on that. The economy is bad, suck a nut, I get it. It just sucks because it would have been fun to travel somewhere every week on the company's money. Speaking of which, I know I am not fired, because I just got another supply pack and they let me fill in for someone a few weeks ago. But I guess they are embarrassed to admit that they aren't getting as many promotions as they would like. They refuse to answer or return any of my phone calls and the other PCs are getting the same treatment. It's rude and childish, but we keep doing it because we love to travel and the pay is great when you can get it. I should go out and get another job, but the only days I can work right now are Tuesday and Thursday after 5 and on weekends (which I keep open for J & L like an idiot).

Class- It's super easy. Really boring. It's my teacher's first year doing it, so he hasn't really got his grove yet. Most of the time, instead of learning anything in class, I just feel embarrassed for him.

Gym- That accounts for about 3% of the useful things I do. I'm a fatty. I like working out once I get there, but for some reason, I don't feel anything the day after I go workout. And sometimes I actually do work hard at it. Time to use heavier weights, and do more cardio. Maybe I should just update my iPod and just go there like I did in fall. Oh where will I find the time. AND I really want to go on a diet. I'm considering going vegetarian for a while, but I really do love meet, I would only do it for the weight loss, that might not be good enough. It also sucks because healthy food is more expensive, what the hell America? For now, I'll just try cutting back on red meat, eating more turkey and fish. Oh! and no more fast or fried food. I've got to hit up the grocery store. Looks like I'm packing lunch from now on.

UWSA project- Thank god 37% of my time can be dedicated to this. It keeps me sane.

Books- I am about half way through "Made to Stick" and its pretty good. I also bought "Animal Farm" and some book on Hilter and the Third Riech.

Feels good to bitch about your life sometimes lol. I'll calm it down.
