The January

Nov 17, 2008 13:56

I am going to be spending my January in New York City.  I got an internship with a literary agency on 5th avenue.  I'm pretty excited, but at the same time I'm not sure.  I don't have any more winter term requirements.  I just applied for kicks.  I wanted to do something Of Value.  Get some Real World Experience.  But, I also wanted to have time to figure things out.  Hopefully they won't want me there every day.  I don't know.  It's so hard to figure things out.  It's best just not to have expectations.  I'm supposed to read manuscripts and write synopses and recommendations.  In theory this sounds pretty sweet.

I finally started decorating my room.  I was waiting for something to happen to inspire me.  Nothing ever did.  I ended up getting tired of the piles of posters on the floor.  And the blank walls.  It would be good for my schooling if I could start studying in my room more often now that it is cold and snowy.  I like the snow.  It's the kind that doesn't really stick.  I wouldn't mind if it would snow all the time.

I read this incredible article in the New York Times.  It's about a French taxidermy institution that burned down last week.  I fell in love with the pictures of the burned out building filled with half-burned bits of animal sculptures.

Also, Dexter.  What a great show.  Also, the Road.  What a great book.
