buzzing

One of the reasons I haven't yet entered the fuzzy, depressed state most people with this amount of homework enter is that I actually like some of the homework I'm being given. It's a matter of getting my shitty math and econometrics work out of the way and focusing on the real learning. Learning another language has been an aspiration for quite some time, thus Spanish class has been a bit rewarding. My economic research class will give me a taste of the academic world and I'll be coming out of it with a good idea what it's like to toil over data and then present it in some sort of comprehendable form. I'll either be tackling the efficiency and necessity of foreign aid or the real economic effects of a large sporting team on the local economy. Or something else. In any case, it will be good. The other class, sustainable business, presents the opportunity to work with an organization on a project, and based on my preferences, they'll either be focused on recruiting/maintaining good employees or creating a new, innovative marketing/PR plan. I've really been digging my own personal exploration of how ideas spread, so this should give some good stimulus and opportunity to really fuck some shit up.
And with that, I've also been putting a lot of thought into just what kind of organization I want to work for when I graduate. May 2007 is not that far away, and I don't plan on pissing my life away in some shitty nine to five or some ineffective unprofessional waste of a non-profit. I'm looking for something innovative, dynamic, and perhaps unorthodox, along with profitable. It ain't easy to find something like this, but that's what makes them the diamonds. I need something that'll keep me up at night and might make me cry from time to time. I need people around me who want things on their own terms, do things in their own way, and then go home and fuck the prom queen. I need to be a part of something that collectively, as they say, blows shit up. And I plan on finding it.

Have you considered the scintillating field of law? Imagine, 'chief justice michael williams....'

Imagine the consequences. I could finally bring Starbucks down. But, until that happens, I guess I technically have a pretty good contact at an oil rig, actually.
But I do remember him mentioning a sentence that included blow-up dolls in it. But, surprising as it is, I don't remember much of the other content.
