WAG - Hi! I am...GOING INSANE!
[....started 5-12-03, completed 5-13-03]
I got through the busiest day of my week.
I had to get my portfolio in to the Missourian before 9 a.m., I had to open the front desk, I had to do the dorm mail, I had to rendezvous with my Dad to send some stuff home, I had a drug test to get done, I had essays due, and a final afternoon meeting at the Missourian.
When I look at my scorecard, getting 6/7 done on time ain't too bad.
It felt like a rush to get everything down - because it was.
My personal favorite trick was finding mailboxes in Neff right before the lady came to lock them up. It was literally the last possible moment they could have been turned in.
In retrospect, that is nicely balanced by being one hour late to the Missourian local government beat meeting.
I showed up, technically. No one was in the conference room when I got there - they'd all gone out to a restaurant - but I did get it done.
Yeah for me...
Note: The title of this stems from the musings of a stressed mind. While packing up my room into individually stuffed Wal-Mart bags, I came across a box of name badge stickers.
I won't go into the story of why I got them (the stories you can imagine are much more entertaining than reality, I can promise you). The important thing is that I was looking at that and thinking of variations on the standard: "Hi! I am __________."
Suddenly, inspiration struck and I knew what I must do.
And that is how I got to be walking around with a red name badge stating, "Hi! I am... GOING INSANE" written in tight purple letters.
The funniest thing of all is the fact that only one person said something to me about it without being prompted by me first.
I think they were afraid it might be true.
I'd complain, but I think it might be true. Other tension reliever stunts I plan to pull are wearing my Sullivan Police Officer uniform when I open the desk tomorrow and wearing an aluminum hat to my Humanities final on Friday (I plan to tell people, "It keeps the ideas from leaking out)."
I still need something for Thursday though. I'm open to suggestions.
