Today I went to the home of a girl I'd spoken with on the phone at the Help Desk and an hour later I was $25 richer.

Random Villa

I finished my last final this morning. I'm confident that I aced all four of my finals. Huzzah!

Tim called me while I was relaxing at home, and asked if I wanted to come along to some kind of beach fort that they were going off to. It's not as if I had other plans for the night, so I agreed to go.

We drove out, and hiked out. A car inexplicably wrecked on a trail meant to be walked single file and a bloated, rotting, smelly dead seal were two of the major sights encountered along the way.

A Great Dane, Bruno, greeted us at The Villa. The Villa is a driftwood fort built by hippies. Even though I have much disdain for hippie culture, The Villa was an impressive beach hangout. It had two fire places, ladders, a guest book, and even a crow's nest. It was also populated with hippies, about half of which were high schoolers.

We eventually retired back to Andrew's place. I snagged the license plate off of the wrecked car on our way back. There was drinking and eating, some enjoyable kinship, but eventually the garage became crowded with uninteresting people spouting lame banter that made me want to go home. Dumb blonde ho: "OH MY GOD A MOTORCYCLE!"

I enjoyed myself, though. Yay.

Finally!

This week is finals week. I've got my Bio 101 final tomorrow. My Astronomy and Islamic Civ finals are both on Thursday, and my Stats final is on Friday. My stats final used to be on Thursday, too, so I'm happy that I've gotten it moved.

I ought to be studying right now, but I feel intensely unmotivated. There are some things that are making me re-examine the path I'm headed in school. Econ and Accounting is a great degree for business – but is "business" something I'll even enjoy? I'm not sure.

I had to talk with Neda yesterday, my contact with the NYT. The business we're engaged in is going to require me to have papers stocked in five locations by 8:00 a.m. every morning this summer. What's more, she hadn't told me, but we're going to have to do this during the school year, too. She's got a proposal with WWU in which the NYT would sell directly to the University, and then NSCS would be the NYT's delivery boy. It's up to me to rally volunteers to the cause, or else I'll be stuck hauling papers around myself. Neda was trying to levy personal financial incentives, which was an insult to my morality. I'm not going to take money for the volunteer work I do as an officer of an honor society.

No matter what industry I might get into, I don't doubt that it's going to be filled with people like Neda. More and more, I'm contemplating a move into Computer Science. There's not as great of a chance of earning riches in CompSci, but I might be happier there. I love working with computers. Unless I get a job for a spyware company, I wouldn't be employing underhanded tactics to get my job done.

Regardless of whether I switch my major, I'm not looking forward to being Neda's newspaper bitch. I'd cut loose now if I weren't committed to NSCS. We just can't be the chapter we want to be without the money provided by the NYT.
