Jumping through hoops to prove my worth to the worthless

It's been quite awhile since I've written a blog entry, but I totally have a reason, I swear!  Today was my last day of classes for this term, which naturally means I've spent the past two days frantically pulling together a term paper for my English class.  While you sit there shaking your head, tsk-tsk-ing (totally a word; I'm going to use it in my next term paper) at me for putting it off until the last minute, again, I have a reason.  The world was busy pulling an elaborate April Fools Day joke on me: all of a sudden the calendar said it was April, but I knew that couldn't be true because then I'd only have 4 days to do my paper, and I totally have tons of time to do it..... Oh..... Fuck.

I wish it was only 2:15 when I got to bed.

Anyway, I got it done (only had to stay up until 4:15), and I'm officially done my schoolwork for the term.  Sure, there are exams over the next couple weeks, but those are far less stressful than having a deadline rapidly bear down on you.  I really need to refocus on writing on here frequently, so that's how I'm going to spend a large chunk of my break.  You know, once I've actually gotten some sleep.  I've been dragging myself into DAVIDsTEA to get "something really caffeinated please" over the past couple days.  This paper's deadline marks roughly the 1 year anniversary of when I stopped drinking coffee; all my caffeine comes from the copious amounts of tea I drink now.

This is my way of life now.

Outside of watching the Canucks games, I haven't done anything objectively or subjectively fun in the past several days because of schoolwork, so now that I'm free I'm going to treat myself.  A coworker of mine performs slam poetry, so I'm going to go see a slam event tonight (Alberto, if I fall asleep while you're performing, it's because of the lack of sleep last night, not because you suck.  Unless of course you do in fact put me to sleep, in which case I claim no responsibility.).  And then on Saturday my friends are going to be performing at the Pit in UBC.  If you're reading this, you should come; it's free!  Of course, at least 95% of the people reading this will already be going anyway, so it's not as if I really needed to say that...  But Blogger informs me that I have readership in Russia and Germany, so I will direct this to them:

Come see Man Chat! on Saturday.  The concert is free, so it'll be quite affordable for you to travel here, stay for Easter if you'd like; I'll have an egg hunt with you.

Man Chat! just released a single and are going to be releasing an EP in the summer.  Yes, I'm shamelessly plugging them, but when you've known 80% of the band since you were 5 (the fifth guy isn't so bad either), then they get shamelessly plugged.  It helps when the music is actually good.  This entry's title is taken from a lyric from the single, but depending on your level of cynicism toward writing papers for post-secondary, it's oddly fitting for an end of term post too...

That's all for now.

More shameless plugs!
