high time
its about time i made another appearance here. i've been trying to upload images and saving em for one mega picture post. again, the internet let me down. so words will have to suffice for now.
school's over for a week now. freeze and i have been working at the main library to just keep ourselves busy. i was pretty ecstatic because its my FIRST paying job ever. how cool is that. muahauhauahauahauhauha. my job is to basically shelve incoming books. its not all that simple because our library is super huge (3rd largest in the states) with, if i recall....10 frickin million books. i'm serious. you can look it up if you don't believe me. so we had to learn the classification system and where everything is. ooweee i was surrounded by musty 'ol books all day. most o the time, i'm on my own shelving books. everyone just picks their own deck to work on and start shelving. its a pretty isolatory experience. mindless too, considering all you have to do is follow numbers. i've been thinking in dewey decimals all week. its pretty mind boggling, to think in numbers and decimals and alphabets. interesting, but my sanity was beginning to crumble. i worked from 8.30am til 5pm, with only a 30min lunch break. so yes. it was back breaking. i don't recommend doing the job for more than a full week. my legs ache and my neck is a little strained. damn those high shelves. pfffft.
so yeah. i work in a frickin library! =) aside from that, xmas break is here so i'm at home cleaning my room. its a right disgusting mess, it is. then i'm off to chicago from the 26th onwards til new year. see new sights, meet some friends, eat different food, experience chi-town. yeah babe. i think i'm looking forward to the city.
well nothing much else is happening. i'm learning C when i can. its so nifty to be able to say i know programming. miuahauahuhauhauahua. oh and our final grades are out. decent, if i don't say so. nothing less than a B. pretty much what i expected, so no surprises there for me. now all i gotta do is keep on working and work my way up the gpa.
weather's been pretty warm after the last snowfall. its supposed to snow an inch tonight. o well. at least i wouldnt have to trod in puddles anymore. =)
