Miffed & 
Studious.
Hmmmmm....
Today I made some realizations and I just had to share them 
- I really hope Suntrust goes under. They are the worst banking chain I’ve ever dealt with. I spoke with five, I repeat FIVE, different people today about a problem with my account and they all told me different things. Is there not a universal employee manual??? Heaven for fucking bid!!! (Pardon the language, it happened earlier today and I’m still simmering)
- Lithography will not ever be my favorite printmaking technique! It’s fun but…unless you only have lithography classes to deal with it’s hard to enjoy it. With so many things that could go wrong and my ability to be easily distracted and unorganized, I’m finding it more stressful than anything else. Pulling an awesome print at the end of the day is truly a wonderful feeling, very relieving, but all the anticipation beforehand doesn’t mix well with thoughts of terrestrial biomes, soil horizons, or avunculocal residency (Biology and Anthropolgy terms). Oh man, I have to take color lithography next semester! *dies*
- Despite the fact that I’m 25, unemployed, still a full time college student (and probably will be for another 2 years), still financially dependent on my mother, diagnosed with MS, and suffered two deaths in the family within a couple months, I’m happier than my best friend who graduated on time, has a full time job in her chosen field, is financially independent, is very healthy, and hasn’t lost any family members in a very long time. I feel… aimless, but not unhappily so. I am actually very happy with my situation. Granted, I do need to get another job.
- On the subject of jobs…I’ve given a lot of thought to what sort of job I would be happiest with in the future. I want a cubicle job. Dead serious. I love monotony when it comes to a paying job. While working retail I remember being the happiest when did nothing for 7 hours but put new inserts into movie boxes and didn’t have to speak to any customers. It. Was. WONDERFUL!! Best day I had during the 3 years I worked there, for serious. Two of my last jobs were retail and well…people suck. You can tell what customers have never worked retail before. I’m convinced the nicest person in the world could walk into a store and suddenly be transformed into the biggest ass of all time. Total A-Holes.
- For whatever reason—I truly do not have a clue why—I always feel incredibly annoyed by the end of my biology class. It’s the only class I’ve ever taken where I feel like this by the end. My bad mood is always directed at my instructor but I don’t dislike him. It’s like the way he gives his lectures just grates on my nerves. I think half of it is that he drones on rather badly, and I’m always itching to get back to the studio and work on my prints. Apparently he’s working on his doctorate in biology, but if he’s at all excited about the topic, he’s sure got me fooled. Also, he never has his lecture slides in order, and it really bugs me when he skips back and forth a lot. He’ll open a slide and then skip forward 6 slides and back 10… AAAHHHH!!! If it wasn’t a two hour class I probably wouldn’t feel like this but… GAAAWD DAMN IT MAN!My anthropology instructor makes up for it, though.
It’s a 45 min class, he’s always very prepared, and a lot more animated about it. Hehe - If I get into the printmaking concentration I will be able to stay in school another year and half. If I don’t get accepted into the program then I’ll have to take my graphic design degree and try to find work. Ugh. Identity package design would probably end up being my favorite thing to do. I did enjoy making logos in class. Oh but goshers…the clientele….blarg! Maybe a back office job in an art gallery…hmmm.
- Despite my lack of enthusiasm about earning my own income, I have big dreams of being able to afford a full time nanny and make weekly trips to a masseuse. Oh, and someone to do the dishes. These three things are my goal. I have no problem with chores around the house EXCEPT for the dishes. OH! No! Not someone to do the dishes! How about just be able to afford an awesome dish washer that doesn’t require you to wash the dishes before putting them in it!!! YES! Gods yes!
- I really really REALLY want the beautiful red front loading washer/dryer set I keep seeing in store ads. *Drool* If I had these I would go out and roll in the mud (and encourage the hubby and kids to do so as well) just to have something to wash every day!
- As of this Friday, I will only have to wait a year before I can officially call myself Mrs. Karina Constable! I will rock at signing my new signature… I’ve been practicing for the past two years! Hehe!
- I need to clean my room. I just tore it up trying to find old Sun Trust info. Despite giving them my SS#, full name, DoB, safety password, and the secret of life, they were still unable to tell me what my account number was. Granted, I should have canceled the account the minute I switched banks but jeez! They charge you overdraft fees quicker than you can blink, but the minute you try and fix the situation you have to wade through a sea of idiots before you get to the one person that will actually help you! Her name was Jennifer and I really wish I’d asked her for her address, because I want to send her a gift basket! Never mind the fact that the root of the problem is my own tendency to procrastinate until the bitter end! NEVER AGAIN!….HOPEFULLY never again!
- I need to draw a pegazebracorn!
