I did totally own my calculus exam. And my physics one. Next on the list is Linear Algebra, Circuits, and the ever-present Chinese. Rinse and repeat. And repeat. And repeat.

Somehow I feel like I'm taking more tests in the last month of class than I did in the entire first half of the semester. But enough about that. Let me rant to you about the piss poor planning of the SEDS chapter at my school.

I offer to help with the last minute planning. I'm thinking, organizing the volunteer schedules, adjusting any time crunches between lectures, oh no a lecturer canceled what do we replace him with, etc etc. Actual last minute planning. What they hand me is an email and a request: "Can you email the district manager of Einstein's and arrange the coffee order? Donation would be great, or else look into other places. We'll buy as a last resort."

TWO WEEKS.

That's how long before the conference they've given the coffee places to process our order, which we are asking them to donate. I estimated some numbers; we're asking them to donate over 80 gallons of coffee for this weekend. That's a lot of coffee! I can't ask one place because they have a 30 day minimum to process donation requests, the other place is too small to handle this kind of volume, and the Einstein's people have said they are unable to donate it at this time. That's just swell. so I asked for a quote and they haven't responded to me yet. Great. Just peachy.

^$&*%&*@&

So, I have to tell the club tonight that as of right now, we might be able to have coffee for the mornings, but not all day. Which, to be honest, why are we providing coffee all day? Maybe have it out for an hour in the morning, and then again around 4 or so? Or even just an hour around lunch as well. I don't think we're providing dinner, or lunch for that matter, except to the especially prestigious lecturers. Everyone else is fending for themselves.

The planning of this committee is going to give me a hernia.

In other news, with a planning team that I admire to no end, my Comicon manager emailed me the other day. The season of the convention has begun. However, the manager is stepping down and a new guy is taking his place. Both of them are fantastic. But the best part is that coordinators are stepping down from their positions. Which means there are openings. I can begin climbing my ladder. The only problem is I'm worried how much more work this will place on me, so I have to inquire as to what the exact duties and responsibilities are of a Coordinator, and see if I'm up for the challenge. Not to mention I'm sure there are plenty of more veteran moderators that are also looking to move up in the world.

But who cares! Comicon is coming. Granted, it is 6+ months away, but you can never start too early. Right, SEDS? -angry glaring vaguely at club members- And NaNo is right around the corner (two days holy crap I'm not ready), Thanksgiving at Jackie's in two weeks is looking to be a blast, and just a month left in the semester. I have cosplays brewing in the background, panels to hopefully host at the next small convention, and a paycheck to be coming just in time for the Christmas season. And movies! So many movies!

Hooray for the little things keeping my sanity when the big things crash and burn. Cross your fingers and hope the SEDS conference doesn't implode on itself.
