¡Ój No! ¡Debo trabajar como una mula!

05/06/09 - So as I groggily awoke this morning at around eight--with a bad case of cotton mouth--I realized something that I wish I had thought of sooner: I had scheduled my Spanish Interview about ten minutes before the start of my Calculus class. To understand the frustration this sudden realization thrust upon me, you need a general overview of the UT campus (mostly just where my classes are).

So here it is, a very, very general overview of campus with respect to my Calculus and Spanish classes: Calculus is on the other side of campus from Spanish, with a good ten minute walk between them. Which would work out perfectly if my interview consisted of me walking in, touching base, and then running back to calc. However, for some reason, I suspect that I'll be needing to say... something. I mean, it is an interview for chrissake. So even if the interview took five minutes, which is pretty short, I would be late to calc.

So now you're probably thinking, "Well David, Calculus is normally a rather large class. Wouldn't it be possible to just come in late? I'm sure it happens all the time. Chances are, you wouldn't even be noticed!" Yeah, fuck you. I'm getting to why that won't work, if you'll just calm down and let me explain it. Christ, I mean, what do you think this is, Your Story? You want me to let you tell it? Fine, go ahead. Tell away.

...

Okay then. So the reason this is a big problem for me is because we happen to have our last homework due today in calc, at the beginning of class. Which I will be missing. Because I'll be at the spanish interview.

So check this out--this is what I did: I got my friend who's in calc to take it for me. While I'm in spanish, he'll take my paper and turn it in to the teacher during the beginning of class! That way, I can take my time with the speaking of the spanish, and yet, I will still get my calc homework in on time! It'll be like I'm in two places at once! Well I mean, it won't really, but it'll be kind of like that. In a way. Well you get the point. Crisis averted, is what it boils down to.

And the kool part is that I managed to do all of this before 11:00 A.M. and also work in a trip to the ATM, getting a cup of coffee, and making a small purchase via the money attained from the trip to the ATM. I feel like I am set. Well, take it easy everybody, schools almost over.
