Lethargic and loving it

Actually, I’m not really loving it. The Fall semester has ended and I am still breathing. Unfortunatily the Job at UC Davis isn’t working out. It turns out that the University does not want to hire an undergraduate from an outside institution. Dr. Cheng (who would be my boss) suggested that I try an internship with them, which he could use to justify hiring me in the future, but this doesn’t make any sense right now, since I need a Job, and don’t want to go part time at Sacramento State University.

I may have a job this Spring at the University help desk. An internship, a part time job and 13 units is too much, I think I’m going to have to pass on the internship *sigh*. So I’ve been waiting to hear back from the University about the help desk position. I hav e been told that I have the job, as long as my class schedule doesn’t cause any conflicts.

So I haven’t had much to do for the last couple of weeks, and have felt completely useless. After all of the work that I put into the electron microscopy software for UC Davis, I’ve felt kind of burnt out and haven’t felt motivated to touch a line of code since. Fortunately I broke that trend today, as I’m upgrading my laptop to dapper drake (the Ubuntu GNU/Linux development release), and have been scouring bugzilla and malone for something to squash.
