Stress

Things I have to do tonight:

~ Perform in Vocal Dept. concert
~ Practice
~Write & email Mesh of Civilizations paper proposal to Simon
~Talk to Christopher about job/holiday situation

Not too bad, but still a little busy. I'm so stressed about my damn job situation and this Thanxgiving thing. I promised Christopher that we'd go up for the weekend. Now, it's looking not so good, since they're not taking time-off requests @ work. I did, however, talk to Amin about this a few weeks ago, so I'd hope he would consider that since I'm out of state and don't really have family that's "readily available," it would be nice to try and celebrate the holiday weekend and chill a little bit. I mean, work IS NOT my number one priority - it comes AFTER school, and even though I sometimes don't practice after I work late, it still isn't the top thing. I know they're understaffed and such, but still...give your employees a break...I already work w/ out taking a break (and sometimes, a lunch), so that should say something, even if it's small.
Gah...if worse comes to fruition, I can probably easily look and find another job somewhere else, as I'm sure people are hiring for the season. Oh, and I really wish that they would realize school is my top concern, INCLUDING attending concerts in which my teacher is performing, as that's MAJORLY important in what I do...So, confusion, once again, seems to be dominating a major aspect of my life.

I can't believe that the term is already over half done. I really need to kick myself in the butt and get working more, but I just wish I had more mental energy to get what I wanted to accomplish done (aka. more practicing) during the day.

News on the car: they have to replace the fuel tank. Another 2 days, @ least without the car. I swear, when I get it back, it'll have more done in repair work than it's actually worth...not much else to say here except, "grrrrrr........"

I forgot to post this the other day - it's official - Doug is in a relationships with a, as he puts it, "really nice girl"...so, it now appears that 99% of my friends that are my age have a significant other. Well, that pretty much goes for aboug 75% of the people I know, as well. I just have to wonder if I really am missing out on something, as everyone tells me, or is this just a growth stage, where once I'm through, I won't feel so, well, almost pressured sometimes to be in a relationship w/ someone. Grr...I hate this topic sometimes. Anyhoo, I hope Doug has fun. It's just ironic that it's him having a relationship before myself.
