I’ve come to accept the fact that I enjoy the internet more than people. I am more than happy to tinker on my already-outdated laptop, downloading music and reading random articles and looking at job openings that I won’t even be applying for. I tried to be all stoic when my internet was not working, not being dependent on it, but when I finally figured out how to get it working, you should have seen the spittle at the corners of my mouth. I am such a sad cliche of the technology age. At least I am not staying up late reading Roswell slash fiction. Heh.

Sad thing is, I actually have the urge to work on things for work. Yea, it’s my weekend, but I just want to take my work computer somewhere and work on a few things. I always swore I would never become one of those annoying, no-life reslife professionals who totally turn into these martyrs for their job. I guess I am not, because I recognize that it is my choice. And I guess it is okay because I am not spending my time doing rounds of my building or spending my nights running around the frsshman halls, the things I want to work on are setting up a webpage for my halls for next year and writing propasals for changes I need to see done.

Speaking of annoying reslife professionals, I will be at Residential Life Professional Conferences pretty much for the next two weeks. This week I am off to Rochester to a retreat for about 30 new professionals in the field, and I will be assigned a mentor in the field and we will talk about our competencies and shit. This can either be relly empowering or Dork Central 2005. I am debating whether I should go in as my “real” self, hating everyone and making fun of everyone in sight. Or go in with my professional attitude and actually try to take something from it. I guess I’ll decide when I get there. Then I am off to Boston for the NEACUHO conference.

You know what’s fucking amazing? “Twin Cinemas” by the New Pornographers. It’s from their new album, and I can’t wait to get my grubby little hands on it. Check it out here.
The new Coldplay album? Not hot.
The new Mxpx album? So not hot.
Having a job that requires you to work during the summer? Not hot.
