oakley, shmoakley

although i love my current job at the gap dearly, ive decided that im going to pursue finding a second job, mainly just for the summer tho so i can make some extra money. recently theyve added a new store in the mall, Oakley Vault. i went into it a few days after they open. needless to say...i fell in love. the store was darkly lite and everything was glossy black and shiny grey metal. while they do sell clothing, they mostly specialize in ...DUH oakley sunglasses haha the store was filled with glass cases with downward shinning lights that make all the sunglasses sparkle and shine. they were all calling to me. it was great. a few days later i finally worked up the courage to go ask for a job application. that was on a sunday. i filled it out and turned it in on the following monday. i talked briefly with the store manager and althought we didnt have an offical interview, it seemed as if we hit it off pretty good. he said he'd be calling me...ok?? so wtf does that mean???? so i let exactly one week go by and getting a job there has been ALL i can think about!! its driving me absolutely insane!! so after much convincing from my mother i decided to go back in for a "follow up" i guess you could say, bc i never got a call back and i was about to loose my mind. so long story short -- theyre not really hiring any more and dont plan on hiring anyone else til june. so long awesome easy job in a beautiful sleek store. all that hoping and daydreaming went right out the window...i held my head up high all the way to the car. once i shut the door i sat there and cried for a few minutes. i guess i can always hope that theyll call me back when the summer hours pick up. maybe ill be over it by then. who knows.

so this was my morning...

so my morning was a little rufff. as all the faithful students prepare for finals in 2 weeks you can only imagine all the things im trying to catalog in my head. overwhelming, yes. fun, def not. and let me just preface this by saying yesterday i was 3/4 of the way to school on the interstate when my dad calls to let me know my prof just left a message on our answering machine to tell me she had cancelled class. so you can imagine how i feel when this happens for the 2nd day in a row. after flying down the interstate, hiking across campus, and running up the stairs to my building, i catch my breath. i reach for the door knob only to discover its locked and the lights are off. as some people know math is my least favorite subject so i thouhgt it would only be fitting to synapse my morning with a math-style word problem:

"Chapter Review 1.) a)Lindsey lives approx 50 mins from campus. if shes running 15 mins late and traveling on the interstate of a speed between 75 and 85, what is the likelyhood she'll make it to class on time? b)if her prof emails her to say he cancelled class 20 mins before it starts, what is the likelyhood Lindsey will receive this email? c)predict all possible outcomes."

yeah, thats what i thought too...fail.
