The Project

Mood: flustered
Again, it’s late. And I’m sitting here frustrated beyond reason with this project. Nothing should be this difficult. I should have been done with this hours ago, and I have actually been getting a good start on this wayyyyy before the due date of next week. To make a long story short I’m trying to make a new media video promoting the marching band here for my document design class. So far, not so good, but I’m sure it will get there soon enough. I think I’m going to call it a night to save myself any additional stress. I’ve been patient enough with it today.
So through-out the 7 or so hours that I have been mindlessly working on this video I’ve had the TV. on in the background. In those 7 hours at least three different reality shows have come on, and all of them are about finding love. (Rock of Love II, A Shot of Love with Tila Tequila II, Flavor of Love III). Boy, we Americans sure have nice quality entertainment. Anyway, I can’t help but to notice that all of these shows are in their second and third seasons. Really? Did not epically failing at this task the first time alert you that maybe it’s not realistic to find love within a month or two after weeding through 20-30 random people? I mean, I don’t know about everyone else, but it’s really hard for me to harbor strong feelings for anyone in that short time span without knowing them inside and out. It would be like me going to the cafeteria and randomly picking the first 30 guys I came across, locking them in a room, and having them do ridiculous tasks to ‘prove their love for me’, ultimately giving me the task of picking my soul mate, being the guy that can balance a cup on his head the longest. No thanks; I’d rather try my luck out in realistic situations. Love has never been an emotion I take lightly. It’s something very personal that I rarely bring up. There’s no gray area with it, either I love you or I don’t. And when I use this emotion it’s typically directed at one person, as opposed to a room full of 30 circus acts who just want to be on T.V. I guess I can’t hate on the concept too much, it’s held my attention for these past hours, and has helped me from completely flipping my shit out of frustration.
Classes end in less than a weekâ€"and so does the semester for me! I don’t have any exams (minus my online one, but I plan on taking that early so I can peace out). I can’t wait to get out of Greenville…I’m so sick of being here. I’m starting to get cabin fever. At some point I’m going to Charlotte to chill-out with some friends. It should be a much needed break from here.
I think I’m calling it quits with this project for now. I’ll jump back into it in the am.
