A New Blog for A New Day
Posted on June 7, 2005 by Ching under Life, School.
(I know I wasn’t gone for that long, but I couldn’t stand the thought of not blogging. I can be still be entertaining without the raunch, I think. Not that the real blog is raunchy. It’s just more honest and uncensored.)
Yesterday was probably one of the worst I’ve had in a long time. You’ve all read the previous entry so you know that I’ve gone into hiding again. Just when the blog was starting to potentially become lucrative.
This is a new day and I’m starting a new blog. Brian calls this the “fluff” blog for those uptight folks who can’t handle the racy, graphic stuff. Incidentally, the raunchy stuff is still there. It’s just under lock and key now. If you want access, just email me (except for you, Ritchie; I have your request down already). Now that it’s private and I have the ability to choose who I grant access, it’s better than ever. I’ve always censored myself in a way. Now I won’t have to hold anything back. I may even put videos now. Just kidding. I make no promises. We’ll just have to wait and see where our mood takes us.
Possibly the worst part about yesterday is being late to class on the very first day. You all know how much I pride myself on my punctuality. As someone who comes to work at least a half an hour early, I really hate being late to anything. When 5:30 pm (which is what time my MW class starts) rolled around and I was still on the phone, I just wanted to cry. All I could do was send an email to the instructor, letting her know that I was running late.
When I finally got off the phone, I hastily closed down everything. Actually, the computer was taking forever to shut down so I just in the power button. On my way out, I debated whether or not I should even bother coming to class that day. I didn’t want to enter the room and disrupt the discussion. Although, it was the first day and I calculated that with going over the syllabus and the schedule I probably hadn’t missed much. So I made the decision to go. I figured that saving myself the embarrassment of being late probably wasn’t worth missing a day of class.
They were just finishing their first in-class exercise when I arrived. They hadn’t even gone over the syllabus and schedule yet. I was relieved that I had made the correct decision, quite a change as I am often apt to make wrong ones.
Sheryl was really understanding. She didn’t single me out or anything. Perhaps she felt that I felt bad enough. The embarrassment and internal agony was enough punishment for something that I didn’t even cause. Okay, so maybe my poor time management skills are at fault. I figured a half an hour would be sufficient to resolve the customer’s concern. Little did I know I was going to be dealing with a lunatic.
When I got home, I went straight to work on this “fluff” blog and password-protecting the other one. I had a glass of sangria to relieve some stress and to help me sleep. It didn’t work, though. I couldn’t get any sleep last night. I think I’m going to have two glasses tonight and see if that works better.
