Because I can't focus at work..

So, although I love my internship, I just cannot focus today. I would like to blame my a.d.d., but I am going to instead blame it on the fact that it is Friday. I have never been the type to really celebrate Fridays. I like them and all, but I know that weekends are short-lived and I don't want to get my hopes up.

But today- I could scream how happy I am that it is Friday. And it should be a really fun weekend. This week has been our Sorority's Senior Week, and so we spend time making fun of each other in skit form and saying our loving goodbyes. I am really sad to see this year's Seniors go, especially roommate/big, as I have known them the best. We will be topping this week off with our Senior Date Party, in which the theme is, "The best things were made in the 80s." Boyfriend and I will be showing everyone our nerdy selves by dressing up in Tron* attire.

Also this weekend is my major's club's annual softball game. It is Alumns/Teachers vs Students. I love softball and played it my whole life, and was sad I couldn't play in it for intramurals this year. Needless to say- I am very excited for this!! Last year the Teachers won, and my old programming teachers keeps emailing us to say he is bringing us tissues for when we weep. I think hope we can give them a run for their money!

Last thing: I officially have an internship in Washington D.C. this summer! I am sad that I will (once again) be missing my birthday with my friends, especially since it will be the big 2-1! I am also sad that I will not get to spend the summer in Tulsa, because I love Tulsa summers: camping, concerts, Drillers Baseball games, swimming, going to the lake, tanning, floating the river, etc. I do know that I will still have an amazing summer though, and really look forward to living in such a great city for two months!

Okay. Back to work. Womp womp.

*I didn't like Tron until I saw the new one. My brother used to make me watch the old one all the time, thus- I hated it. However, give me a movie that involves worlds inside of computers, add in a little action, and BAM! I am sure to love it. I plan on re-watching the original Tron movie, hopefully to find that I don't actually hate it at all.

Hungry for more games

*I actually wrote this a week ago, and didn't post it because I fail.

So, this past week and a half, I have had freedom from tests- and it has been WONDERFUL. But, what has kept me away?

After Spring Break, I read The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. I started during Spring Break, but was much too distracted by the beach, endless sun, and beautiful turquoise water to read. I read one chapter. MAYBE two. After I read it, I had to ground myself from borrowing the next two books from roommate, because I had school to worry about.

You should know, I have a problem. I love to read. Yes, everyone and their mom loves to read. But I get consumed by it. That is why you really won't see me reading too often, because if I do I won't get anything else done. And I mean it. I cut meals short. I don't hang out with friends. I forget to bathe (meaning I have to cut into the little bit of sleep time I allotted myself so that I won't drive people away from me with a forcefield of odor and grime). People come to talk to me in my room- and I don't know what to say.

I don't know what to say because all I can think about is the book. Which has been my life for the past week and a half. I ungrounded myself, and started reading Catching Fire (the second book in the hunger games). It was fabulous. I don't even know how I read it so fast (5 days), because I worked a full 20 hour week, went to all my classes, and it was initiation week for the Sorority. I read it really fast, to say the least.

It was great- but once it was over I knew I needed to make human contact and be a real citizen for a while. So, I didn't start the next book. Not until the next day, that is. I felt like I read this one slower, however- I finished it faster (last night). I even forced myself to take longer breaks to eat and talk with friends. I would like to note though, that when I was not in break time I reverted back to the mute confused girl who had nothing to say to her friends who hadn't seen her in a while. Because my life turns in to the book.

I am in a slight postpartum depression now, only instead of birthing a child I finished a book. Now that I don't have anything left of the story to read, I just don't know what to do. I can't wait till the movie comes out (in roughly a year-ish), but until then- I must become a normal person again until I find time and a new book to immerse myself in.

I have been a fail blogger

So, a couple weeks ago I had another round of tests. If you haven't picked up on this already, my tests are ALWAYS grouped together. And now I am very lucky, because since all of them are grouped together, I have no more until finals. This makes Katy very happy! Though, that probably means I need to start studying for them.

Generally when I have breaks in tests, I catch up on my blogging. But last week I just wasn't feeling it for some reason. Probably because I felt like I didn't have anything worthwhile to talk about.

But- I do have something. I have started an internship with our campus IT department, and I LOVE it. If you didn't already know, I am a huge nerd and love computers. My major is Management Information Systems-- aka. Computers for the Business World as I like to call it. I study programming, systems, databases- all that fun stuff. Sure, to many most people this sounds awful. However, I am excited about it. My internship so far is all about the stuff I have been learning in class. Now I am working on creating a system for my Sorority to track our study hall hours (which is currently pen and paper for approximately 150 girls--for each week of the semester). I would just like to say, I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED ABOUT THIS. This just goes to show my love for technology. Last week, I visited with some computer science majors for a couple hours, and I was jealous of their knowledge. I wish I could get a masters in computer science, but that requires taking an undergrad computer science program. Sad day.

So, my life is at least 50% computers now- 25% friends/extracurricular activities, 25% sleep. And I love it.
