Springfest!

The weekend before finals, during the spring semester, is always Springfest at Benedictine College. For some, it's a time of enjoying a couple days of intense activity based on busting stress and giving a little relief before the hell week called finals. The idea behind this is that supposedly it should be warm enough and nice enough that spending the whole weekend outside is a good idea. While it wasn't cold out this weekend, it was also a bit wet and rainy. Now, for a very large portion of the school, Springfest is translated as Drinkfest. Friday morning brings a tradition for many that is called Power Hour. At 6am, folks get up to chug beers for the whole hour, with the express purpose of getting drunk. These same folks show up at their respective classes ready to fall over... I'm not sure I understand this concept.

That being said, while I did not take part in Power Hour, I also am not sober. Although, in my defense  it is 2am on Sunday morning, instead of 9am on Friday morning. I have spent most of the day with my nerd buddies that I have found over the last 4 years. We played Arkham Horror earlier today, and I discovered that my loss of attention towards games goes beyond normal RPGs. I was bored within a half hour. I don't get it. This kind of stuff used to be exciting! Why is it not anymore? Anyways...

I miss these folks. Most of these ladies and gentlemen (okay, a little sarcasm...) are really good friends, and I enjoyed spending a lot of time with them, playing games, watching anime, and other general nerdy stuff. However, after spending the afternoon with them again, I might have realized that it is good that I only see some of these folks every once in a while.


On a different note, my roommate and I lost most of our furniture today. The guy we had been borrowing the furniture from decided that he wanted to come get it back. Of course, we still have 2-3 weeks that we might need the stuff. Therefore, we won't have a couch to use in front of our TV or even a table to eat at. We were kind of expecting that, but not this soon, and in the most inconvenient way possible. If anybody has a couch they would like to get rid of for free (transportation might need to be included)...

It's the last couple weeks of school. This point has seemed almost unreachable for a long time. It almost felt at times that I would be doing school for the rest of my life. This is almost done.

I will be staying in my current job for the time being. I figured that if I move back to CSprings, I would have to look for a job again, and I would be at the bottom of the barrel, starting from the ground up again and trying to prove my worth. I wanted to quit food service and move to something more permanent as soon as I could, but it seems that point will not be reached for a little while. Therefore, I may as well do my best in there and see how far I go. At least here I have a job.

At one point, I was seriously considering culinary school. I genuinely love cooking, especially when I have other folks liking what I just made. However, after working in a kitchen for the last 4 years or so, I am ready for something different again. I don't even like cooking at home right now, let alone the idea of going back to school again. I'm not sure what I am more tired of: cooking for unappreciative a******* or doing homework and going to class.

Well, it's time to go for a little while. Hope to see folks on here more in the future. Oh, for all BC students: Good luck and God bless!

Beginnings

Another day, another attempt at trying again to foster my enjoyment of writing for fun.

Of course, I need to finish finals first.
