not necessary

As I sit in my office in Freeman, I'm thinking of all the things I have to do tomorrow. They consist of:

1) Meet with IE467 group at 10:10am, even though we don't have class.
2) Meet with IE802 group at 11:00am to divide up project presentation.
3) Give project presentation with IE802 group at 11:15am.
4) Teach IE460 to start earning IE660 credit at 1:25pm.
5) Meet with undergraduate thesis advisor to discuss feign serious progress on undergraduate thesis at 2:30pm.

Whereas this is all manageable, I'm really starting to realize how unnecessary so many parts of my life are. Is it necessary that I do an undergraduate thesis? No. Is it necessary that I take grad classes this semester? No. Is it necessary that I go to grad school? No. Why do I do this to myself? Why do I have to be such a slacker in overachiever's clothes?

chump

Hey remember that time I was 22 years old, and I got carded for an R-rated movie? Oh wait, I'm not 22, and that did not happen to me.

i can't be held accountable

Pre-21 Amy used to be so responsible about drinking. Beer never made me out of control because I would drink slowly, and a requisite 30 minutes were allotted between shots to give the alcohol time to take effect in the body. When I started to get a little out of hand, boyfriend would keep alcohol away from my face. I never forgot anything.

Post-21 Amy plays a slightly different tune. The funnel has torn me apart, and shots are chugged like they're going out of style. Being single apparently makes people think I want to make out with them. I probably don't. I can only think of about 2 people I'd be okay with making out with right now, and chances are, you aren't one of them. Hours of my life are now missing.

Last night was ridiculously fun until things got weird, again. Laughed at my ass clown friends for getting so wasted, then proceeded to exceed their inebriation. Had a friend walk down College Ave. with open beer in hand. Watched him get pissed at the TDs doorman who wouldn't let him bring it in. Had a friend take pictures of me falling over in the streets instead of helping me up. Had a friend get us kicked out of TDs. Drunk dialed a friend, waking him up 4 hours before necessary. Probably confessed some sort of love for him.

After last night, I'm going to test drive a new plan. Next time I drink, we will mark the number of drinks I imbibe on my arm. When I reach 10, I will officially be cut off.

On a lighter note, I downloaded all the songs from the Monster Ballad series. So. F-ing. Good.

On an even lighter note. Suckers.

wait, hold on

I Clemson-Phonebooked myself today for some unknown reason, and here's what I see. What happened to being a senior?

I was bragging in my head when I was checking everyone's away messages this morning and seeing all this "Last semester in Clemson :(" crap thinking that these guys were real suckers for up and leaving so fast. I mean, I'll miss everyone who is graduating out, but I'm going to go ahead and hang around til sometime in 2007 because I'm just not ready. But am I the sucker for trying to waste my last semester as an undergrad taking grad classes? We'll see...

new year's resolution

NO new lipglosses or underpants until I receive my first paycheck. You have no clue how hard this is going to be...

i don't want to talk about it

Here's what I will say:
"I'm an industrial engineering major." "Oh that was my undergrad concentration!" Wheels start to turning...
"You guys aren't mature enough to handle this! It's never going to happen if you keep staring!"
Lost my purse, but only my digital camera was inside.
"This isn't right!!! I'm not supposed to be at Michelle's!!!" "STAY THERE. BYE."
It's not beautiful that I puked all over myself. Hmm mm honey... no. But thanks.
"Why is Ann sleeping so uncomfortably close to... Ohh... no..."
Bag of shame--my slightly different purse.
Why are there 2 crumpled dollar bills amongst my clothes?

Things got weird.
