So I'm thinking it was two days ago when this happened...
Work hasn't happened this week. Been trying to ignore the sadness of that fact while looking for other jobs online. I know that my workload will increase in the Spring so much that I could work overtime if the school would allow me to work more than 40 hours a week...but right now work is slow, and I can't do one of my jobs over the Winter Break...it's just a bit frustrating. But I'm not quitting. These jobs are great resume builders, and I'd like to stay with the same job for a real year instead of just a school year or a tax season.
So, aI've been bored with more time on my hands than I'd like to admit (my roomies probably think I'm the laziest kid ever), and I haven't even been blogging. No excuse for that. But two days ago, I saw the nintendo in the living room, and it called to me. I just could not ignore it. It was taunting me, saying that no matter how hard I tried, I would never beat Larry Koopa's castle. (Larry? I hope that's right. It better be after attempting it at least 100 times, no joke.)
So I turned on the Nintendo. I said that I would at least try 5 times. On my 4th try, I got to the soup doors and I jumped Larry Koopa into his deadly lava. I do not know why Larry Koopa hangs around in such hazardous conditions--if I were a big bad boss and I knew Mario was on the way, I would try to find somewhere comfortable for me and let several booby traps take care of the Up-To-Good Hero. Regardless Larry's leisurely location within his scary and horrid castle, I dodged and jumped and waited and panicked at just the right moments and I beat the level.
Congratulate me. It only took two weeks. I thought I would never happen. That's what I get for thinking.
