Valued Employee
So my job with the College Writing Program started off pretty easy. I basically came in when I was need. Now however it seems that I am needed near everyday, what with my old boss no longer working there and them bringing in a new person who wants to do a lot more. I’ll miss my old boss with his love of sci-fi and general laid back nerdy behavior. My new boss is also cool, though not nearly as nerdy (she does have an LJ though). Good news is though I got a promotion and now make 2 dollars more an hour (and they are adding those 2 dollars to every hour I worked before, so I get a bonus). I must say that’s pretty good progress for 2 months.
Linkblogging
After playing around with a variety of linkblog solutions, including WordPress plugins and My Web 2.0, I found a decent guide in the Codex on how to build one. It even told me how to put them into the blog next to the regular entries. Hopefully, I’ll be able to post more with the link blog, which I’ll be calling Asides like Photo Matt does. If you like the links, here’s the RSS Feed.

Calendars are horrible at Berkeley
Why are the calendars so bad in Berkeley? The events calendar by the school is decent, and they even offer a calendar app for staff. Student groups though aren’t really allowed to post on it. The best calendar we had was live.berkeley.edu, but the project was taken down and still lacked a few features I would have liked (RSS feeds for one). The One calendar replaced it, but stinks so bad. There’s this dream calendar though that does have a prototype version up. Maybe just maybe it’ll work soon…
Delay of Game
So in the afternoon on Wednesday, I went to the MCB advising office to get a course entry code for a lab I need to take next semester. Problem is they are out of codes right now. They said to check back in a few weeks. Maybe people will drop or they will open up more sections.
Basically, if I don’t take that lab next semester, I don’t graduate next semester. I’ve been thinking about staying in school for a little while longer, as I can’t imagine life without right now. However, it seems a little weird that the choice has been taken away from me. When they told me, it felt like no big deal. Now, I sit here thinking about it and it feels like everything’s different. I’ll be hear at Berkeley again, waiting to finish. I don’t know how to feel right now.
Blank
I haven’t had anything to write about in a long time. Nothing seems to really be that important at the moment.
It’s been the usual drills, the midterms, the little get togethers at the house, and working on a few projects. I don’t know, it’s just feeling like the same old routine again and again. Problem is, I really don’t want to let it go. It’s basically my last year or so in college, and I still really am unsure of what will happen after that. People have already been planning and looking for jobs and such, where they plan on living, and such. I keep saying I’ll figure it out, but really will I?
