Busy Is As Busy Does
the latter part of this past week has been exhausting and has revealed to me just how much i am looking forward to graduating and getting out of this on and off schedule, where when i am "on", it involves a ridiculously hectic schedule. let me explain. first let's explain that on tuesday afternoon i had a crappy pin up for studio. basically the idea that i had come up with over the previous weekend got blown out of the water by my professor. and in all honesty, i have to admit that i wasn't all that surprised though, since my proposal really was sort of "out there" you know. my professor was basically saying, "you know alex, i just don't know what to say to you", in that voice of complete and utter resignation or disinterest more like it. anyways, it wasn't really that big of a surprise or disappointment in the sense of creating crappy work, but it was a sense of impending doom that now...damn, i have to work extra hard or at least work hard enough to pull something out of my ass for the pin up crit we were going to have on thursday. well basically that night after the tuesday pin up, i was like... you know, fuck it. i am going to go play some squash.
.
yes! squash, it's my new fun hobby! it all started out when i found out that two people in my studio are like pretty good in squash having played varsity in high school or college or something. but anyways, so i and some other newbies in my studio decided... hey, how hard can it be? haha! so we decided to sign up for lessons and so on tuesday we had our first lesson. you know what i have to say, its pretty fun. especially on thursday when i went and practiced hitting some balls with a friend. man, i know we suck in terms of playing the game of squash, but you know we had a lot of fun and a good workout just hitting... well, mostly missing... the ball. and that's exactly what i am looking for now. anyways, it was a good way to get your mind off of studio.
.
oh yes, and tuesday night i also had a date as well. heehee. it was a fun date i have to admit eventhough we went to go watch the world's most horrible movie. the guy was very nice although being neurotic and argumentative as hell. i dunno what to make of something like that though, because on one hand it drives me up the wall when people disagree smartly with me, makes me feel kind of stupid i guess. but then on the other hand, its invigorating to meet someone with such...hmmm... character in a way. keeps you wondering what's all ticking there maybe? anyways, so after dinner and a movie we came back to harvard and haha, i invited him over with maybe not so subtle of a subtext of getting into his pants, but hey, i actually kind of like the guy in a real way so i figured no need to rush things. but hey, he came over easily enough and we talked and talked and talked, blah blah blah... which by itself wasn't all that bad honestly. and amongst the talking on the couch there was the occasionaly brushing of shoulders and you know, "moving the arms onto the back of the couch so that you could kind of put your arm around the guy move"... all signs that there was at least some sexual tension there if nothing else. oh... but i did learn something from that experience though and that is when you are in a situation like that, ones that potentially could lead to making out...a real downer at that particular moment is mentioning your ex boyfriend or talking about him. yeah, i am not sure it if was mutual, but after i had mentioned my ex, i felt a distinct shift in mood of the room. so i guess, more in response to diffusing that new tension as oppose to any other motive really, i just decided to make some playful ploy which involved simply poking him in the rib cage as a friendly retort to some stupid ass comment he made (which he apparently is adept at let me express). well, you know... touch is everything, and my stupid poke in his ribcage caused him to warn me not to do it again because he was ridiculously ticklish ("PLUS!" i was thinking... haha... ticklish guys are better in bed... wink wink)... which caused me to be even more naughty and try poking him again. and well, he grabbed my hand before i could poke him and well, when you're less than 6 inches away from a cute guy and in some form of embrace (that's not overtly hostile... thinking of wrestling, which I never found sexually exciting), its pretty much just animal instinct then. so long story made short, we found a good excuse to start making out. and to not bore my faithful readers with too much detail, let's just say that it was fun and that i enjoyed it and now i'm in that odd situation of wondering what it all means and where it all goes. jesus, i swear i am sometimes such a chick in these situations! chick in mentality but pretty guy-ish in actions though... meaning i probably will just wait and see what happens, i.e. do nothing. nonetheless, fun guy... fun times. maybe just what i needed to counterbalance the absolutely shitty rest of the week i had after that.
.
why so shitty? well, let me list the ways. well first of all...wednesday was mostly devoted doing studio work. such devotion that lasted till like 7:00 AM the next morning. ahhh, but at least i got something done. i don't know if it was any good i thought, but i am much too tired at this time too care. and then i had to go to work only two hours later. fabulous. actually honestly, for most of thursday i wasn't that tired surprisingly. i went through work pretty well and even got to do a little field trip errand to harvard square which i always enjoy. then i finally got back to studio and waited for an hour for plotting, but i guess i was so tired that i didn't even have enough energy to get annoyed. and how did the studio pin up go... actually...surprisingly well. i shouldn't give myself too much credit, because my professor in some ways kind of already told me what i should do anyways. so i had a good review and i had to relish it, because my partner, who also presented with me on tuesday review, that day he got a good review and i got the shit. well, the tables turned so i had my little internal chuckle... heehee. anyways, after studio, for some reason i actually felt i had energy to go play squash and so i did. but i'm kind of glad i did because, like i was mentioning before, i got a great workout and really had a fun time. after that i had to then work out a powerpoint presentation i was suppose to give the next day and print my resume stuff for the job fair that was coming the next day as well. i finally got home around one AM and conked out.
.
i am glad i didn't oversleep for the fair though but i can tell you friday was a very very difficult day. i had to keep a facade of alertness and interest all throughout the day. and in the middle of the day i had to give that presentation i was mentioning, thank god it wasn't a very long one. by that after noon i was exhausted from having had like only 6 or 8 hours of sleep in the span of three days... blah! i conked out and slept till like 9 pm, just in time to veg out in front of the tv and watch the SciFi channel season finale shows...whoo. don't you love my friday nights... haha. and then this weekend...sigh. i have to write an 8 page paper, go on a site visit, analyze what the hell actually happened at the job fair, and then work on studio. fabulous. busy is as busy does. i'm ready for a vacation! well, at least this whole week wasn't a total wash. my date was fun, squash was fun, my job fair interviews went allright and i have good prospects for further contact, and i am for the moment, at an allright place for studio. you know, when you list the good things that happened, things don't seem that bad i guess. heh heh. i'll write more about the job fair and my impressions later, but right now i have to go write that paper i mentioned, and go day dream about my fun date. wink!
