Stop This World From Spinning
I'm not very good at many things. One is avoiding overkill and I've tried my best but I'm slipping and hopes are getting dashed and I should just learn to not think.
Anyways, I just sent in my resume for the Student Supervisor position at my work. Ivana was super awesome and helped me make my resume and cover letter and I learned that I really have a shitastic one. Hopefully I can find logical ways for it to grow. I'm discouraged and feel behind everyone all the time. uh, I feel like I should just stay in school an extra semester just because and I'm obviously not going to be getting any internships THIS summer and next summer I would be done with school and then I am screwed. I have to think about this.
I WENT TO MPR TODAY and it was sooooo fun. I mean it is a cool building, but it is still an office with cubicles, but so much was happening. The best part was obviously running into Vice President Walter Mondale in the hall who was on his way to record Midday with Gary Eichten who waved at us. I shook his hand and realized it isn't every day you have rendez vous with presidential candidates in office hallways. So cool! We also got to meet Kerri Miller which killed me because she's hilariously over the top public radio-y as well as some of the ladies from The Splendid Table. I don't want to go into radio because talking isn't my strong suit but I certainly love the prospect of working with people like that. It was a highlight of the semester for sure.
I also realized when I was writing my resume that I've formed a really good relationship with Greta Cunningham (from teacher and newscaster for MPR for the one person who reads this that doesn't talk to me) and that I can easily get a letter of recommendation from her if I ever need one and that calms me down a bit since she's a recognized Minnesota name with some clout and that honestly would have direct positive experience with me. Cool. I need to try some freelance stuff nowwwwww. Ok Life let's do this.
I am going to see Australia with my sister tomorrow and hopefully getting my hair cut. I am so excited for Thanksgiving even if I have a busy weekend and a shit ton of work to get done in the next few weeks. Oh god. I have French at 8 tomorrow still so I don't know why I'm up.
