So much to say but a limited amount of time

Wow. It's been awhile since I've last posted.
I've got two exams next week and I'm not putting much effort on studying for them. One of the test is math and I've got to really focus on that course and the other one is biology. CRAP!! I wish someone would hold a gun directly at my temple just so that I can start. It's awful that I need a gun pointed at me just to motivate myself to study. Maybe I can get my roommate to threaten me with my pepper spray.
Speaking of which, my roommate is a freaking genius! We had this problem with the microwave a while back where the microwave would turn off when we cooked something and when that occured all of my electronic appliances would shut off too. My roommate started to wonder why it was doing this and all I suggested as a solution was for her to tell me when she was going to microwave something so that I could turn off my computer and make sure that I saved anything important. That was definitely the "I don't feel like fixing it so let's take the easy way" solution. However, my roommate was not going to accept that solution so she started thinking and thinking and she finally came up with a solution. She suggested we should move our stuff around so that the appliances were around the outlets. The floor plan doesn't make any sense. I, on the other hand felt disinclined to involve any phyiscal actions to take place and emphatically reiterated my solution. Hsihou came up with another solution that had minor physical actions and absolutely "out of the box" intelligence because there was no way I could have thought of her solution. Now we have the microwave on a different multiplier and my stuff in another outlet. No more worries about my stuff shuttingdown but unfortunately our microwave still turns off when we use it. We think that it might be the circuit breaker and that the amount of electrical energy is too much for it.
I took my politcal science exam this week and got an 80 on it! Now I need to make a grade >90 to make a B in the course. I can do it. I've got to really focus these last couple of weeks just so that I can get the grades I'd like but I know it takes more than just wanting.
I'm looking for jobs for the summer already and I found this cool place in the Bishop's Art District in Oak Cliff called Brooklyn. I checked out their website and found out that they are a jazz cafe with live performances and that they were in need of waitstaff and a bartender. I called one of the owners and I told her that I was a college student, currently I'm living in College Station, and had asked if she was going to be accepting applications for the summer. She told me that I could send her my resume and that she would get back to me about the job. I worked on my resume over monster.com and followed their suggestions and was able to complete it yesterday and send it to her. She seemed like a very nice person over the phone and I hope I can score that job.
Now it's time to come to a close because I have to go to work. ~Sigh~

Well, good luck with the college stuff and keep up the good work. College seems like hardwork, but you have been through things that also required hard work and came out on top. the important thing is not to give up. Later, take care. This is Victor Serrano by the way, you know from acadec.
