So here's the downside of going to college later in life (well, I guess it's a downside no matter when you go): Kids.
I have this class on Thursdays, Media Writing. I missed it 2 weeks ago because I had a killer bellyache. I left work early and everything. Well, apparently I missed an in-class assignment: everyone paired off and interviewed each other, with a written piece due the following week. There were two other people who were out besides me; we were given the interview assignment as a triangular thing and exchanged emails so we could do the work.
Well, Sunday afternoon rolled around and I haven't heard from either of them. So, I email them both and say, "Hey, so here's my idea for the interview thing, what do you think?" I hear back from both of them, yeah, that's a great idea, not too difficult, blah blah biddy blah. Well, the girl who's interviewing me emails me last night with a bunch of questions. I reply, give pretty good full answers, some of which she can use as direct quotes and some she'll be able to paraphrase. I also email the guy I'm interviewing with a list of basic questions, with the caveat that if I need more detailed info I'll email him again.
Well, here it is, Wednesday night at almost 9 pm. I have still not heard back from him, and so I have nothing to write. I emailed him again this afternoon around 3:30, trying to be polite yet urgent, that I needed to get the writing done tonight. Still nothing. I have now emailed the professor because I am going to have nothing to turn in tomorrow, and I don't want to wreck my GPA because this kid can't get back to me. Ugh. I mean, maybe he's very busy too, you know, I realize this. I'm just super frustrated.
Well, I guess that's what a blog is for, huh. *sigh* I guess I'll just go watch American Idol and hope I hear from him before 10. Then I at least have a shot at doing something...

Damn Unreliable College Kids These Days! I probably should start looking at the material for the project I have due next week but then again, Buffy Season 3 is on Hulu. I think my mind is made up.
Ha! If I get fired from my job, by the way, it's all your fault. I totally put on the first couple of episodes yesterday on my computer while I was doing some paperwork.
Anyway, I'm sure it's not all you Kids These Days. That was just me bitterly ranting 'cause I couldn't hand in a paper. (side note: I emailed the prof, and she emailed me back and said don't worry about it, and that I have "the best writing style in the class". Suh Hweet.)
Nice! And one quick bit of Spoilery Goodness about Dollhouse.
*SPOILERY GOODNESS ABOUT DOLLHOUSE*
I don't know if you've been following it but Alpha, the rogue doll that hasn't quite been shown yet is said to be played by none other than Alan "Hoban "Wash" Washburne" Tudyk.
There are a lot of rumors flying as to who is could be but Whedonesque says it will be him and IMDB backs it up. I'm pretty psyched. Just another reason to watch Dollhouse.
Get the eff out! That would be THOROUGHLY awesome. I;ve been watching it with a friend of mine every week. We like it. (Shh, don't tell the cool kids...) I think it's a slow build, and I have the patience for such things.
I know I know I know! This week is supposedly the fabled 6th episode when Joss returns and smites our enemies! Plus Patton Oswalt! (He will be appearing, not getting smote, I assume)
I KNOW! I told her this is the ep Joss writes, and when then "Next time on Dollhouse" came on I saw Patton... I had a moment of such joy! Awesome. See?! Slow build, getting awesome!
