(no subject)
We got snow, too. A couple inches of it. People drive like there's a couple feet of it. Irritating. Late for work this morning. Not pleased.
This semester is, surprisingly, not killing me just yet. Maybe it's because I'm taking a bunch of literature classes and actually enjoy them. Probably, as it were. Work is being...work, but whatever. I've still got my jobs for the time being, so I suppose I can't complain that my bills are paid and my writing portfolio grows larger by the week.
So the faculty adviser for my school newspaper is rather well-connected (at least, in comparison to myself or any of the other staff for the paper) and told us a few weeks ago about some internship possibilities over the summer. The newspaper company she used to work for basically told her 'hey, if you have any decent candidates, they're pretty much fast-tracked into these slots.' Hearing this, I expressed my interest and got the ball rolling.
Possibilities for locations are such locales as Savannah, GA; Augusta, GA; Topeka, KS; Bumfuck, NE; Bumfuck, FL; Bumfuck, TN; Bumfuck, MN; Bumfuck, MI; and the places I'm shooting for: Juneau, AK and Bumfuck, AK. I really, really want to get an internship in Juneau. The rent is cheap, the pay is decent, and I'd be living on an island just under the mountains in the middle of the Alaskan summer. Ho-lee shit. Not only that, but my sister lives about two or three hours away from there. That'd be cool.
Wherever I wind up, I'll be sure to relay the news. Maybe, if I manage to make it to AK, there will be Dare-meet! We shall see. I think that I'll wind up near someone I know no matter where I wind up. Sadly, no New England positions were listed as possibilities. Sad face.
That's pretty much the news that's there to report. On a small note, I have a pseudogirlfriend these days, though she hesitates to enter into the whole "relationship" aspect of things. I'm mostly fine with it--there's not a really big impetus for us to be "together." She's going to be spending next semester in Spain and I'll likely be out of town for the summer, so the end of the semester pretty much ends us until 2008. Scary thought, but one that I can live with. We're both trying to do things to better ourselves, so I say sacrificing a little lovemaking is worth it.
Yes, I did just say that.
Anyway, that's the life of Greg at the moment. I have more--directing, acting, etc.--that I could talk about, but I'll save it for when I feel like it.
