I've been pretty "meh" this weekend. I really don't feel as though I should complain...but I didn't get to really accomplish anything.

--I practiced my guitar for maybe 10 minutes all weekend. Will I know "Wild Thing" by Wednesday? Not when I have class on Monday and Tuesday. *sigh*

--I didn't read any of the 300 pages that I had in my book for class. This...is not good. Class is at 5:45 tomorrow night...and I bet Miss K will be in my office tomorrow.

--I didn't get to do my photo shoot. And this was something I've been looking forward to. Yesterday was shot. I mean, the entire day was shot. And today was cold and rainy outside which meant...no photo shoot. And this just puts me in a blah mood. As does the weather.

--I wanted to clean my room. I accomplished cleaning off the coffee table (but only because Maureen was over and she fixed the loose leg) and I did some culling of my greeting cards and letters that I've saved since, oh, 1994. Yeah, that took all day.

--I wanted to clean the apartment. I wasn't home long enough to even start on that.

--I wanted to draw. I mean, get out the sketch pad and draw. I didn't. But I did manage to create some LJ icons for ladystarblade...that she likes and will use. Well, two of them. One is already in use. The other has yet to be uploaded...but she likes it.

--I feel like an underachiever. As in what I've done in life thus far. Weird. I think it has to do with not owning slips of paper that document my successes. My memory is all I have to serve that purpose.

--San Francisco is going to be my big trip this year. I say this only because it's going to cost me everything I have to get out there. And, unfortunately, the trip falls at the same time my car payment is due, my college tuition needs to be paid, Dragon*Con needs to be attended (and paid for!), and my September birthday month of doom begins. It's going to be fun...as soon as all the logistics get worked out and I stop freaking out about the money situation. Come on economic stimulus check.

--My individual meeting is on Wednesday with JJW. I intend to voice my thoughts on the way I was treated last week. Because I'm still pissed off about it.

--I'm wondering if my job will be of any use in the near future. Special Events is being taken away from Alumni Affairs...and does the director of Alumni Affairs really need an assistant when Special Events are no longer involved? Things that make you go hmmmm...

--Laundry was pretty much the only thing on my list that needed to be done this weekend that I actually accomplished. That and baking banana bread.

Much sadness.

But tomorrow starts another week. Hopefully one that isn't as full of suckage.

Are we getting to the point where airlines are becoming extinct? WTF? Three shut down last week. American is slashing their flights. Delta and United have followed suit.

Because of that the cost of plane tickets has gone up...

And through all of that...ladystarblade and I have to figure out how we'll get to San Francisco this August for indyjane's wedding. It's prime travel season so the prices are high as it is. Depending on what happens with plans, this may also involve renting a car.

AND...on top of that I'm going to miss my first night of classes in the fall semester because the time change doesn't put any flights in before my classes start on Monday, August 25.

The world of travel hates me. It does.

And with the feds talking about gas prices rising to $4/gal, well you can definitely say that road trips are a bit out of the question at the moment. Which sucks. Because the next two weekends, maybe three are booked and that means no Guitar Center visit...probably couldn't afford the trip anyway...and...

*sigh*

I just sometimes want to know that I have an escape. Be it for a wedding, a vacation, a short trip...

I hate feeling stuck in one place.

Thank you gas and airlines...for nothing.
