Oregon doesn’t matter. Now I know this is a very non-Oregonian, non-Pacific NW, non-Cascadian (long live Cascadia!) thing to say. But what other message are we to get from our Primary date? May 20. That is correct people, May 20. A full three months and fifteen days after Super-Tuesday. So do we get any say in who our next president is? Very little. We sit here quietly being ignored until we are told who our presidential candidates will be. Because at this point everyone but one have withdrawn. With the increasingly early, increasingly fast campaigns a vice-presidential candidate has often been chosen before we get a say on our chosen parties candidate. So we get a choice of 2. It is the rest of the country that gets a say on if it will be between anyone that is actually a decent candidate. For heaven’s sake Iowa went first! Iowa!
Why to work slowly January 23, 2008

Like most university students I get paid by the hour. While the pay is low I do enjoy my job a lot. I do not work with food, I work pretty independently without anyone telling me what to do every second, oh, and I don’t have a bloody uniform. I am basically a student rep. So I talk to students when they come into the office and lead meetings. Most of the time however it is bloody slow and I get to work on other projects, presentations, fliers, whatever is assigned. So today I come in and the to do list is empty, so I get some information for a Information Session and then I got to work on a flier for it. Within about an hour, really only about 45 minutes I finished it. I can only restock, dust and copy so many forms for my 7×15 office space. Now I’m sitting here in my office being bored and listening to NPR (not a symptom of the boredom, I usually do listen to NPR). Ah well it’s a long day!

10. I’m tired.
9. There is never enough coffee or hours in the day.
8. The kid behind me in the coffee shop that insists that the table next to him is not in fact a table but a drum.
7. Walking to and from campus is turning slowly to me crawling back and forth
6. Womens Studies even more unbearable than normal because I don’t have my sister smirking next to me.
5. It is cold. 27 F this morning when I woke up.
4. The joys of Initiation week, fun but long.
3. 12 hours on campus today.
2. Math quiz tomorrow and once again, I am lost in class.

The wonders off business. I sit here paying half attention and dink about on my computer. Just spent a good amount of time working on getting all of the office hours for my classes into Google Calendar. They are all there now. Totally overwhelmed. This week is Initiation week for my sorority. Basically on top of classes, work and all my homework I have a sorority event each week. I have to go get a gift for my new little sister. My schedule today looks something like this:
10 am-12 pm Business
12 pm-2 pm Electrical Fundamentals Lab
2 pm-3 pm Electrical Fundamentals
3 pm-Whenever Visit Cultural Centers for Womens Studies assignment
5:30 pm- 7:30 pm Seminar on Women in Engineering, balancing life and work
7:30 pm-9:30 pm Making cookies at Katrina’s for sorority event
I get to go home after that. Shoot me now… please?
