There are two kinds of people who fail, those who party all the time and those who never party. - someone on physicsforums
This blog post is about people who party all the time, and about work.
There are some people on facebook who regularily invite me (and the rest of their friends list) to keggers. Personally, I get really drunk once or twice a semester.. but it seems like these people do it every other weekend.
Anyway… that’s not what this post is about. It’s about how one can get accustomed to the proper social conduct through facebook.
In the message they sent out, they restated the “fashionably late” rule. And then suggested an alternative; something you can do if you know the people moderately well.
Hope to see you all here on Saturday around 8!(Or later because no one really comes at 8, but you should! At least come predrink the bar)
PS: In the third paragraph i used a semicolon; was that correct usage of a semicolon?
PPS: in my last post i mentioned an interview… well i got the job. It’s for a full year, so if i really don’t like it i’m screwed, but since i’m not going to do skating this year i’m going to start looking at my to-do list: slackrope, dance, theatre, maybe possibly get a second job or make a webcomic and try to make a little more money and start saving. Then travel in the summer, hopefully get an internship overseas. (There will inevitably be another post about this later.)
So today I decided to update…wait for it… in an english accent!
I think I should do my next job interview in an english accent (I’m kidding – i’m not that good, right?
Reasons why Krista should not do a job interview in an accent
Reasons why she should
Because, well, people just don’t do that sort of thing!
It makes me more confident. When I speak normally I subconsciously that people are judging me on what I say and whether I pronounce some things weirdly. But just then as I was doing my podcast, I got distracted by the fact that I have an awesome accent, and relaxed and went for it.
I talk slower. My accent is part Doctor Who, part zero punctuation… but mostly doctor who. I feel like I’m actually talking with emphasis, and I like that.
Anyway here’s the podcast… eventually I’ll make actual mp3’s of these:
Transcript (well technically I guess you’d call it a script:)
It’s beautiful outside, and my friends are going for sushi. And I’m sitting inside eating cereal and writing a lab write-up.
Because yesterday I spent all day watching TV… and updating my to-do list.
I really enjoy writing this list and writing about what I plan to do with my life. But it’s rare that I just let myself completely enjoy where I am at this very moment. I’ve gotta start doing that, just soaking in the simple things; practice being amazed by life so that when I do something awesome I can properly enjoy it.
One thing on my to-do list is to make a webcomic. A weekly thing, something that doesn’t take much time out of my life, just a couple of hours a week (plus doodling in elec class.) It will make it update on Saturdays because nobody else seems to.
I’ve been thinking about my webcomic and realized it’s a half-post-apocalyptic Doctor Who without Time Lords, other planets, the TARDIS, or immortality. Or a bunch of other things. It just seems like I subconsciously lifted specific scenes from Doctor Who episodes.
I think I watch Doctor Who for the acting. Certainly not for the aliens, or the plots which sometimes seem a little contrived and silly (like in one episode a fish drowns), or the Daleks (Exterminate exterminate) or the fact that it’s basically the Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy played straight.
I really want to travel sometime. Get away from stuff like rent and homework and laundry and stuff.
One thing I like about Doctor Who is that The Doctor doesn’t have any sort of schedule to his life, it isn’t all planned out (Look for a co-op job, work somewhere this summer, go back to school in the fall, look for another co-op job, work for 16 months, go back to school and finish my degree, get a job, settle down, start a family, have a mid-life crisis, retire, and be old.)
I need to start including concrete plans in my to-do list.
EDIT: apparently some webcomics do update on Saturdays, namely Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. Whoops.
