Hey Club Jade folks attending C4: do we have to register if we're volunteering? Also, have you guys made hotel and flight reservations yet?

In other news, I worked at a benefit for the library tonight. It was pretty fun. Patrick Leahy (my hero) and Katherine Patterson (who wrote Bridge to Terebithia, among other things) spoke. Someone left the ( Read more... )

This has probably been my busiest weekend at home ever. Here goes:

I have a job! I returned my application to the library after school, and Roberta (who I guess is in charge of hiring people) called me back around 3:30. I don't even think she checked my reference. I start July 5th. It's amazing -- she doesn't care that I'm going to be gone from July 9th to the 22nd, or that I'll be gone again for GenCon and ( Read more... )
