Taking a chance, breaking the rules

azuriteBleeeeh, so I'm probably not supposed to be doing this, but considering I spend 12 hours a day on campus, when the hell am I going to have the chance to really update my journal --and no, I do not mean "update" in the sense of that wanky short one I did early this morning.
Classes today... Math was interesting. Met some interesting people, including my teacher. She has hair like those 80s moms in sitcoms, or something. Very puffy. Like, unnaturally so.
(Jamba Juice has the best music, btw. If it weren't for them, I'd go insane. Aqua's Barbie Girl now... ^_^)
After that, I walked past this Welcome Week fest of sorts (so many cool things to buy! Too bad I don't need any of it...) and towards the Engineering Addition... had to walk through this weird brick loop thing to get to my class in the lab. My CAD (and it's not Photoshop, Flash, and CAD... it's JUST CAD. All CAD all the time. My dad is ecstatic) teacher is Iranian or something, with a very, very thick accent. She also insists we need the book ASAP... which sucks, because Dad's direct shipping it from the publisher (being the CAD guru he is) and he hasn't gotten it yet. I hope I can swing by Oviatt tomorrow or something and pick it up.
I also had no luck getting Yi-Fu Tuan's "A View of Geography" online-- even at the Library website. I don't know how I'm going to read it before class, unless I show up to school ultra early (which is never any fun...)
Today, as soon as work started, it's been sucky. For one, Scott left pretty early on. Maybe his smiles are contagious or something, because I've never truly had a BAD day (like today) when he was here with me. But today... nope, I got lectured as soon as I came in. Apparently some invisible manager or some woman I don't even know was in the online room yesterday when I was sorting orders with everyone, and I was carrying on a conversation with Scott... she thought I wasn't working, so I got to sorting, writing out tags and the like, but today Ray says I really pissed her off by continuing to talk! I'm sorry, WTF!? One, I'm a temp. I know I'm going to get fired, I know I'm not going to make a lot of money, etc. etc. Two, why can't I make friends and carry on a conversation with someone-- as long as it doesn't distract me from my work Yeesh, bitch. Well, if I ever had a chance of coming back here, it probably just dissolved with her. Borders, here I come!
Today was just ridiculously stressful. I did get my journalism homework done... now just to type it out, sort my binder out, and figure out what to do with my multiple planners.
* One - Bad Girl Planner - Has more space, paid more money for it, looks cooler. Doesn't have dates pre-printed.
* Two - CSUN Planner - Less space, but more info re: the school and its services, but I got it for free. It's also got pre-printed dates.
Which to use!??!?
I hope Baba got all the things I need at WalMart today. I want to go home, massage my feet, and just kick back online or something. I have the innane urge to write "The Speed of You" (that Initial D/Yu-Gi-Oh crossover), or maybe Chapter 2 of "Something to Somebody."
Yeah. And get some art done? I need to chill. I wish they bought ice cream I liked. Darn wanky flavors.
