Term in Review [journal], and the Beginning of the Next One

( Term in Review )

Well, here we go again. I come back to my dorm after the holiday break and what's the first thing I feel? The same old feeling of utter insomnia and boredom I've had through the last term. Nothing's gotten any better. To put this feeling in simpler terms: Nothing motivates me. I just want to vegetate in my room, I don't even want to go buy or make food.

And more than that:

• My English class probably has a participation component, so I actually have to show up to class at 8AM;
  
• I have to put up with three weeks of stupid pride events starting now (SU's "Antifreeze", Engineering's as-of-yet-still-unrenamed-engineering-week "Geer Week", and Schäffer Hall's "Valhalla");
  
• Job postings for my summer work term start going up on Tuesday, so I have to keep an eye out for jobs I want (and also my greater concern, interviews and how to pass myself off as a capable person when everything else seems to indicate otherwise, including my transcript);
  
• I have to upload a new transcript to the job search site (my transcript is... ugly. It's that bad);
  
• Speaking of which, here's the link to all Workbitch 2006 entries from me and forgottenlord that will inevitably show up. forgottenlord is working this term, so he'll probably be writing about his job while I'll be writing about my Quest for a Job that Fulfills a Whole Bunch of Personal Requirements™ (in accordance with my Annual Jihad™).

Pointeh?

That is all. Why must pointys be so overpriced? ($29.99). It came really unpointy as well, but the dealer offered to sharpen it for free (I mean, what's the point [pun not intended] of one of these if it's not sharp?). Even so, he admitted that the stones of the sharpener were getting a little old and worn and didn't get it as sharp as he wanted it to be.
