what a freakin colossal waste of time i don't have!!!! ugh. so for my advanced poetry class, i have to go to one poetry reading during the semester and write up a review. so finally the opportunity arises, to go see Maurya Simon read at my school today at 4:30. So I make a deal with myself. If I get to the fifth page of my paper for my lit class by 2:30 i can go to the reading. I have to leave that early cuz it takes like 15 minutes to get to school and the rest of the time is often necessary to obtain a parking spot even tho we pay $126 a semester for parking passes. Anyway, I was almost done with my paper, having set an hour a page schedule at 8am today, so I took some time to talk to my sister in law, which i hardly every do, and played with my nephew a bit (don't ask why they were here, it's a long story). So I shove off at 2:30 with only a conclusion left to do on my paper. And i go to school and get a parking spot right away which is sometimes as infuriating as it is relieving. well more often relieving. but it was only like 3 at this point. then my friend calls me and says her boyfriend wants to come with us to the Toad show in Santa Barbara on the 4th. I asked both of them a trillion times if they wanted to go but they kept declining cuz of time and money and whatnot. so when it came to buy tickets, i was gonna only buy one, but i got two (separately) cuz i tried and got a better seat (second row, woop!). so being the good friend that i am, i offer the extra ticket to my friend. which she accepts saying she'll make it work (we both have school that day, she was more reluctant to skip class. it's the last class of the semester). so tuesday she tells me she can't go. at which time i give her hell. So today while i was working on my paper she says she talked to her teacher and it's ok that she will miss that class. yippee. she's going. now back to 3 oclock. she says i have to find her boyfriend a ticket cuz now he wants to go. so fine i say i'll check my little toadgroup and see if anyone's selling tickets and i'll check ticketmaster too. and i did. but i refused to buy the ticket for him, cuz i don't wanna be responsible if it doesn't come in time (the show is in 13 days). and so my friend got all pissy (this is all via email in the computer lab at school). so i was all mad. AND THEN i finally get to the poetry reading about 20 minutes early...and Maurya doesn't show up. 4:30 comes and goes, then 5...at 5:30 i finally get up and leave. No one knows why she didn't show, but I lost over 3 hours of time i could have been working on all the crap i have to do, and went thru all that aggravation over the ticket bullshit. ugh. i've NEVER wanted an end to the semester more than i want now. and to top it all off i probably have to make up a poetry reading review now....which makes me feel all icky.

need dinner now.
