Using My Time

Playing Chess...

While drinking a glass of whiskey is not as easy as it sounds. Luckily in Chess Titans found in the new Window’s Vista, there is an undo option, making up for all of my mistakes caused by either my utter lack of skill of my vast consumption of alcohol.
I have recently been reading a book entitled “The 47 Laws of Power” and I realized how many of the “laws” I already follow, without knowing that they were actually laws. Thus, I have concluded that I must be destined for power. I don’t know what kind of power I am destined for, but its gotta be good, I mean, its power, and any kind of power can’t be bad. So, if there are any women out there who want to rise to power with me, I am currently accepting applications. Anyone with moral qualms against my relentless quest for power need not apply.
I will leave all you wonderful people with a summation of one of the laws, ““Do not be held a cheat, even though it is impossible to live today without being one. Let your greatest cunning lie in the covering up what looks like cunning.”

May 15th 2049

I was looking at some of my personal information at work, and it turns out that my retirement date is May 15th, 2049. 42 years away. That is of course assuming I stay with Sterling Savings Bank. Although the date will probably be the same no matter where I I work. It seems like a long time, but I am sure those 42 years will just fly by. Then I'll retire at the ripe old age of 65, live another 10-15 years, then die. It sounds a little depressing when I think about it that way.

In other news, the quarter is plugging along. 2 weeks into it, which means only 8 weeks left. Then on with life. There are of course things in between. My home, or rather my parents house will be going on the market soon. I'll be going back mid-may to try to clean out my room and other stuff. Although I don't really know what I'll be doing with it all, since my room at my apartment is quickly filling up.

I think I will become anorexic. Although admittedly it will be difficult not to eat anything, so I will probably at least have to start off being bulimic, to be stem to cravings for food. I know doing so is bad for your teeth an asophogus, but the only other alternative I can think of is to take up heroine, but such a habit would be very expensive, and I just don't have the money for such a habit now. Bieng anorexic not only has the benefit of not having to buy costly drugs, but I will also save money on food. Even with the occasional binging, I should still save money on food. I just don't see how this plan could be bad.

Since I don't really have anything else to say (although some could say that I haven't had anything to say this entire post), I think I will end with the words of Donald Trump "In the end, you're measured not by how much you undertake but by what you finally accomplish."

Worst Quarter Ever

So think I may have made a mistake this quarter. Most seniors take easy classes their last quarter, I did the complete opposite. I don't know if it will actually be the worst quarter ever, but it will certainly be a contender. How do I know? Well after my first class I became pretty convinced that it wasn't going to a good quarter. My first class is one hour, forty minutes long. Unfortunately with these longer classes the first day we usually do more than just go over the sylabus. So, on the first day we went over the sylabus and then started doing other stuff. This wasn't so bad in and of itself. So after we were there for a while, I started thinking that it must be near the end of the period, and that she must be planning on holding us there right up until the end. The clock didn't work, so I couldn't check and see if I was right, but I was pretty sure that it was at least and hour and a half before she left us go. When we finally left the class room and I checked my cell phone, it turned out we had only been there about 45 minutes. This is going to be a long quarter.

As for my other classes, they are interesting, but they are going to be difficult, and I will actually have to work, which is just not cool. Also, three of my four classes will have group projects. I loathe group projects. I've never had more than one in a quarter.

This is going to be a long quarter. Only 9 weeks left and counting.
