Le sigh
Second week and I'm feeling a little more at ease. I finally got hold of the book I was supposed to write a paper on. I found a cushy chair in the student learning center and a "secret lab" so I can print out articles while I get past my current computer troubles. The English department had a potluck to greet the new kids and one of the 2nd year MA's told me that in about a month I'll panic and want to quit but then I"ll live through it. So there's that to look forward to.
There's a doctoral student who's going to stay with us two days a week in the spare bedroom, and this shall help fund my groceries/booze bill. I'm also scalping my footbal tickets--we'll see what comes of that. My hope for a library job kind of fizzled; the whole campus is in a budget crunch right now so student jobs are scarce. For now I"ll just appreciate the study time unemployment affords me.
OH, and we have ants in the kitchen. Yeah, I think that's it.
