So it appears that next weekend I won't have any plans! Sure Jim may end up finding us a party to go to, but aside from that no work since the baseball team will be on the road and I don't think I have anything due next week (probably do, but I don't know it yet). I have something in mind that I could be doing, but more on that for another day. Anyway this weekend was just fine. Registered for the fall, partied a bit Saturday night, ran into many people that I was not expecting to see, which is always welcome. It is safe to say that I'm doing pretty okay...well except for losing to the Angels in MLB 2K9, but I'll recover.

I'm supposed to be writing on the relationship between citizenship and consumerism right now. If the deadline wasn't changed to 5PM as opposed the noon, like it was before Wednesday, writing this right now would an issue I'd say. But the great thing is that I intend on getting this done before I go to sleep. Why? you may ask, well let's say I have 3 other cans of Red Bull waiting in case I do start thinking about sleep. Anyway, baseball has been in my thoughts all week. Started working the baseball games last week and have two more this weekend, me and my brother ordered Yankees tickets on Tuesday and baseball is starting back up in 9 days. I'm hoping any plans for Friday night won't be bothered by my having to register on Saturday, but that might be the case unfortunately. Maybe I'll try something I'm not so used to doing instead or maybe I'll catch up on all those movies I downloaded, but haven't seen. Well, back to the citizen-consumer, joy!

Back to the old grind it is. First day of the second half of the semester is through. Nice and quick as is always the special on a Monday, it kinda sets up the rest of the week especially once I'm back home from Innovation Park on Tuesdays it really means I have to do the same thing I just did for Wednesday and Thursday. Again, although I hate the idleness, not having classes on Friday is the shit.

A quick note Spring Break: good, but boring many days.
Highlights: uncarded boozing, inconvenient raving and trials of being a lifeguard with Franco and Lopez; a visit to The Door, briefly saw everyone I wanted to see though lacking the nice sit-down chat; Red Mango > pinkberry (yeah, I said it); usual Katz's Delicatessen family trip, never fails.

The phone interview Friday, went well one could say. I think producer Lisa Ammerman, may have been slightly impressed with my knowledge of the show, though it felt more like a viewer feedback survey than me trying to get an internship. Unfortunately they were filled up for the summer and of course asked if I could take the fall or spring next year to do it instead, but this is another of the Harrisburg groin pulls, that maybe I'd be able to do if I were here for all four (should've changed majors sooner). Oh well at least that saves me going Hollywood and turning out like this (yes, it's still funny!).

Finally, I just finished working out my schedule for the fall, since registration is next Saturday. At the end of it I'll have 2 credits left for the major, 3 credits left for the minor, which obviously means Ballroom Dancing and/or Dinosaur Extinction for Spring 2010. Here's the catch: 1 class on Mondays and Wednesdays, 4 classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:45AM-3:45PM (almost high school-like hours). I'll see what the advisor thinks of it, considering he told me not to take 381 and 387 together this semester and I did anyway.

Well tubers, I'd like to let you know that for the first time in few months (definitely the first time this year), that my major stresses have gone in decline. Got papers, presentations, projects out of the way. Applications for internships, cover letters and the simplest resume ever done. I'm going into Spring Break, just finishing the awesome home basketball season for Penn State (most for home wins in a season by the way). Still got a little work ahead during the break, like securing an internship. I have a phone interview with a producer from The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson next Friday, so I'm gonna be figuring out what a summer in Los Angeles may cause me. I'm hoping this week will entail a good bit of relaxing, especially since I'll be home the entire spring break for once.

I have a really great weekend story to tell, but I am absolutely too lazy to write it. I feel you should all know this intertubers. My efforts should really be on writing a paper on the makers of BlackBerry and soon enough they will be. You know me, I'll always save it for another time.
