¡Estoy enojado!
This morning, after I made a joke about poop, Beth said, "Jesse, you are one of the most intelligent people I know, yet you always talk about poop!" It's true, I love potty humor because its hilarious, but her comment (before the poo part) made me feel really good. She is really good at giving me compliments, something I don't get very often.
Also in class, Austin got on my nerves. The teacher said something to me in Spanish, but I wasn't sure if I understood it. Austin looked at me, rolled his eyes, and said, "Just answer the question!" I felt like he was implying I was stupid, so I raised my voice a little and replied, "I understand! I just wasn't sure I heard it right" and answered the question perfectly.
Austin's been getting on my nerves recently, but I don't know if its me or him. Like last night, he told me how it annoys him that I wait until the last possibly moment to wake up and get ready. He and I are always ready at 7:30am and have never been late to school, but it annoys him for some reason. I feel like he thinks I'm lazy.
Just to show him that I can wake up early (and how much of a waste of time it is), I woke up early today and got ready before him. It didn't help us be more on time or anything, but I hope he got the message.
When I was on the computer today, I casually checked www.utahpride.org to see if it was online. To my surprise, it was! My excitement ended about 20 seconds later when I checked my volunteer application.
Before I left, I made a volunteer application and submitted the text I wanted to appear on the website. Unfortuantly, my intentions did not appear on the website. In fact, last years volunteer application form appeared! There was even a bad date on the website (announcing 2005 Pride). I was so angry!
It annoys me how some people take volunteer work less importantly than real-job work. When people do things for free, they think they can slack off. I hate that! I put 100% into anything I'm doing--volunteer or not.
After lunch, I went back to the computer lab where I spent about 2 hours writing an email outlining all the necessary changes. It normally wouldn't take that long, but I wanted to make sure that it's done. I hope its the last time I have to deal with website stuff.
I learned that Jere, the pride coordinator, is moving to Vegas in April. I'm said because I really like Jere and was having fun working with him. I'm also sad because he's a guy that I wish I got to know better. He's young, intelligent, and a sci-fi nerd just like me. We could have been better friends, but I'm just lazy and cliquish. I need to stop that! (2006 goal). To "make up for it", I added him to my blog side bar.

I think it's funny that even though we talk like almost every day, I still am the only one who comments here.
At least, I think I am. Thanks for the ego boost.
Ok, now to my comment which does go with the post so you will let it be posted.
A few things: you didn't mention your totally wonderful volunteer assistant! I mean, she is like, so awesome. Where did you find her?! You didn't casually check the website, I told you it was up. (rolling my eyes)
But seriously, you are a GREAT volunteer and you do put everything in it and don't just volunteer for food (I hate it when people do that).
Next, I know I've said this multiple times since you've been there and I'll continue to say it as long as I know you: You are too hard on yourself about things. You will learn Spanish. You are not stupid. You always try to impress and/or please people and when you think you are not up to their expectations, you have this way about you. You become sullen and a tad onery (not like me at all...) and put yourself down. I hope you know we don't see you the way you often see yourself or think we see you.
And finally, I now understand why you've never added any of my blogs to your blogroll. (But I still don't get why I'm not on your MySpace Top 8. But that's another comment for another time).
This is the end of my novella. Thank you for reading it.
