Networking

Filed Under Babbling, School 

This morning starts off a week about how well I can work it in so many ways. And networking is just working yourself to the fullest of your extent. For me, I’m faced with 4 tests, one that I’ve lined up for every day from now until Thursday, a group paper due on Thursday too, and a group meeting on Thursday in one of my classes. Its one thing after another each and every day this week. And to top it all off, this morning is another career fair on campus, so I’ll be donning my superhero outfit (shirt, tie, khakis, sweater) and rocking it better than Mr. Roger’s in his ‘hood. Its something that has to be done.

Just like how last night at 11pm at night, I brewed a pot of coffee. Three cups later around 3am, I found my way to bed. Same thing this morning at 7:15am when my alarm went off, and when I finally dragged myself out of bed 15 minutes later, there was another pot of coffee waiting for me. Three cups later this morning, I’ll find myself in the shower and mentally set to do battle with my day’s dragons.

Our world is like that. There are no breaks, no rest for the weary, no sleep for the wicked, and no bellys to rub except for the cat laying on his back in my lap. Yes, Wooster is draped across my arms, begging for a belly scratching.

We all need to lay back and have a belly scratching from time to time, but its all about the world sufficing that need and giving us that rub. He’s looking around waiting for his, and I just want to lay back and get one of my own.

I’ve got a few weeks till I get my break, though. Through the goodness of friends in my 7M3 family, I’ll be seeing the band’s Orlando shows on February 22nd and 23rd. And if you’re in Orlando, you might want to pick up their newest album, Day & Nightdriving from Park Ave CDs here in town. See, I got this e-mail the other day, and it mentions a nice little special about mid-way or so down where if you buy the CD, you get a free ticket to their House of Blues show on February 23rd. And with the opening act being Big 10-4, it’ll definitely be a good show. Or at least in my book.

I’d better get back to studying for ethics. That, and I’ve got a belly sitting in my face that I have to rub.
