The Wrinkly Nose of Selfish Displeasure

averygoodun42I'm trying to stay positive. Really, I am. I am trying to do so because I find it is easier to live and be happy with a positive attitude rather than just accept the shittiness of life at face (and present) value.
But...
Geoff is leaving for Brazil at some point today, assuming there's a seat available on a plane. He found this out yesterday after he got back from his overnight "day trip" (he put in damn near 30 hours of work on Monday).
This would bother me at the best of times, because no notice is shitty notice, especially for intercontinental travel, but this week is not the best of times. It happens to be a busy week at school for me, including the (mandatory for me as an officer) PTK induction ceremony tomorrow evening. Which means I have to find an escort for Page (because, selfishly, I want him there to see me, both perform my duty as an officer and receive the honor of being a member, and realistically know that he'll need someone there to rein him in when boredom starts setting in). On top of finishing my essay (due Friday morning), extremely time-consuming biology homework (genetics is a bitch and a half, btw) and such.
So, I'm not happy at the moment.
I'm also not happy because I foolishly asked Page who he wanted to be his escort to the ceremony, and he named neighbor N, who also happens to be a student at this college, but, well, I know she's not a member of PTK, so that's awkward. And the friend I'd really like to ask is out of town till Friday. (And my other first choice lives an hour away.)
Bah.
Anyway, I need to go to school now. Busy, long day ahead. Whee.
