The Early Bird Gets the Worm (but in this case, the bird and the worm are dead)
Today is the first day back to school. Ahhh~ the summer went by so fast. I wish I could stay in my bed just a little longer. My circadian rhythms been out of wack recently, so I had to take some sleeping pills to knock me out. I usually sleep at 7AM, so to make sure I’m really knocked out cold, I take double the dosage. The teacher right now is just going over the syllabus. Stupidly, I came to campus 5 hours early. My hybrid class is online on Mondays and I didn’t know until I got to campus. After this class, I need to go to the quad to help my club run their booth. We’re trying to recruit new members for this semester and hopeful get more board members for next spring. I couldn’t care less. I just hope I see someone cute when I’m there. It’ll make life more interesting, you know?
Mondays and Wednesdays are going to be my worst days. I have to wake up at 8am won’t get home until 9pm. Whatever. It’s my last semester so I shouldn’t give up right at the home stretch.
The club president told me I was in charge of planning the club’s “immersion day”. That day is basically for new members, board members, and our company sponsors to get together and ‘mingle’. I missed out on last semester’s immersion day so I don’t even know how it’s supposed to look like. So far, I was able to find an application to rent a space at the park for the event. That seems easy enough. I just wonder how I’m supposed to decorate it though. It’s the same park from last semester’s immersion day so it seems like I’m going in the right direction. Catering the food seems easy, too. I’ll just order a platter of food from Panera or a barbecue place and layout some sort of fruit spread.
The only thing that is sticking out to me is that the president wants the event to take place on a Tuesday. That seems very inefficient. Last semester’s immersion day was on a Friday, and the semester before that held theirs on a Saturday. Those make the most sense since scheduling won’t be an issue. The weekends mean that those company employees will have availability to come and students won’t have any classes that conflict with the time. If it was me and someone told me to come to their event on a Tuesday afternoon, I wouldn’t even go. If the president really does want to stick with Tuesday, I have a feeling the event will have a very low turnout rate. It’s equally inefficient for me as the event planner because I’ll have to show up early to decorate the place and get the catering, but I have class on Tuesdays. So to organize my time, I might have to skip my classes just to prep and attend the event when people might not even show up, and I wouldn’t even blame them.
TLDR: School started and this club can suck my dick.
