What is going on????

Well, the whole reason I haven't been writing daily is for some reason, I have been having a great week. I really don't have any complaints at all. There is one thing though....... assistantships.

They are hard to find and even tougher to get, I swear! I have been emailing and calling and searching for anyone or any department to give me even an opportunity to obtain an assistantship. I knew I was maybe pushing my luck with trying to get one this semester, but people just make it sound SOOOO attainable.... NOTHING BUT LIARS! Ok, maybe not, they just got lucky, but I am taking so much time out of my studying just searching and coming up with nothing, so yeah, kinda a waste of time..... but I will prevail and keep moving forward.

Plus this whole semester is closing up already, it's coming way too fast! I guess I'm ready for a break though, but at the same time I am so in need of a job! I don't know how I'm going to pay for Christmas gifts....we will see. But I have been having a lot of fun.

Yesterday me and one of my guy friends from undergrad went downtown and well, I was craving Mexican cuisine (not out of the ordinary) and a margarita. We found this place called Su Casa and it was a really good price with really good food (I still miss my spinach and chicken quesedilla from Marg Dips!). And then we went to the fanciest bowling alley I have ever seen called Lucky Strike. It was just crazy. However, you paid for it! I mean, instead of sitting on plastic dirty chairs, you sat on couches when you were waiting to bowl.... pretty cool; and oh yeah, like everything downtown, we had to wait, so we were getting drunk in the process! Tonight, after doing a bit of homework, I went to see Quantum of Solace. It was good I have to say that, but not fantastic. It was fun to hang out with people though. Plus we took the El back at night..... it was an experience, nothing bad, just interesting.

Well the boys upstairs are back to their old ways right now with their partying. We'll see when I fall asleep tonight!

Oh, PS: the pic is from a few weeks ago, but I just thought it was funny. Just being silly on the El! Thanks for bringing out the best in me Heidi!
