take a look at me now
ahhh anxiety, i knew you'd soon find a way back into my life.
let me catch you all up on what its been like to be me recently, shall i?
well a few days ago i sent my cv and resume arond to various job contacts, as i should be getting my carte de sejour within the next two weeks. i had one job interview yesterday, and i have another one on monday. now the one i had yesterday is to be a research assistant for the new masters school of government that AUP is planning on opening up in a year or so's time. it would be really nice to have it on my resume, but they are paying us 5 euros/hr towards tuition reduction. i hate putting this into the money prespective, but i cant really afford to waste my time on a 5euro/hr job when i can be maknig 15+ with my TEFL. so after my interview on monday i am going to really think abuot the pros and cons. of course, i havent gotten offered either job, so i shouldnt really be worried about this at all, but i like knowing my options before making any sort of decision.
now, on to what i like to call, sarah's financial clusterfuck.
well my loan doesnt exist. apparently the school is not registered with the loan company-and this is of course the first i hear about this. so yesterday we try calling the laon company, and we get nothing. sigh. so now basically im waiting til monday, and if nothing happens between now and monday, im restarting the loan process all over with another loan company. which means leaching off of my parents for the next month. I AM SO ANGRY ABOUT THIS.
aside from that, and the fact that i have no idea how im supposed to afford to pay my rent, life has been ok. ive been hanging out alot with mariam and thats been good, but im not really doing a whole lot of homework that i know i should be doing. so now, i am going to go home like a good graduate student, and do some reading.
