social networks = addictive?

So recently, my boyfriend has created a Twitter account.  At first I was like… okay, whatever… good for you.  Within the short period of time that he has been on the Twitter network, he has become ADDICTED!! He tweets about everything, including our relationship (which totally freaks me out) and our quality time together had dwindled down to nothing!! Why?? It was bad enough when it was just tweeting from his laptop, but now he tweets nonstop on his phone!!  This is a problem.

A few nights ago, I was over at his place and we were watching a movie.  CORRECTION: I was watching a movie while HE was watching his Twitter feed.  I asked him questions such as, "Do you like this movie?  Did you see what just happened?"  only to get responses such as, "Yeah. Huh?? Oh right, right."  He CLEARLY was not paying attention to me OR the movie!  I expressed my annoyance about his new found love, and said that I felt like he would rather hang out with his "followers" than his girlfriend (which I was TOTALLY serious about).  After assuring me that I was over reacting and that it wasn't as bad as I was making it out to be, I left to go home.  I decided to check out his Twitter page to see just how "bad" it really was (Twitter keeps track of how many Tweets you have).  I can't even tell you how mad I was when I realized he tweeted about the conversation we were having WHILE WE WERE HAVING IT!!!!!!!!!  BIG big problem.

Has anybody else ever been through this????

A time to vent.

I HATE WEEK 10.  Who is with me?  This week is going to kick my butt, literally kick my butt.  But I know I'm not alone.  I think there is a certain mutual sympathy between each and every North Central College student, as we are the only ones who truly understand the frustration and sleep deprivation that accompany 10-week terms.  Our friends outside of NCC, who have the standard 16-week semesters that call us and whine about how buys they are… STOP.  You're not busy.  You have 16 weeks.  Why in the world would you be busy in a 16 week semester?  I understand, because I used to be one of them.  I transferred into this chaos.  But now that this chaos is truly my reality, I no longer pity my 16-week semester friends. 

I HATE GROUP PROJECTS.  My BUS 460 business team did our final presentation last Wednesday.  With jumbo classes, when you only meet once a week… it is really difficult to do a group project due to the fact that we never see each other. This left us with having to schedule times outside of class to meet, which is fine, as long as everyone shows up.  WE, however, did not have one single meeting where everyone showed up. On top of this, during our presentation (which was business professional attire, by the way), one of OUR members showed up with jeans and a disney world sweatshirt on! Oh boy…

Thats all for now :-)
If anyone else needs to vent, please feel free to comment back to me!
Good luck this week!  Here is a little something to make you laugh.
