Send the resume out at random last night, headed this afternoon to some places to apply in person. Will not be getting the room at the co-op I was hoping for, but lots of people are shifting around this time of year. I'm just tired of paying as much or more for the corner of a garage as I would for a room in a house full of people. And the bugs are starting to show up this time of year.
I've even debated going back to stay with my parents until the festival. I don't know about that. But I'm going to have to borrow the money to pay rent this month from them. I think that if I do not have a job by April, I may have to head that way. Except what will I do for work in Lubbock?
I did have an epiphany yesterday, though. I want to be able to feed, clothe, and house myself, with enough extra left over to help out other people, and I want to be able to do that off of being creative; off of writing and making stuff, etc. This means that I've swung back to the idea of starting on my art associate degree this fall. Yes, I want to go travel, but I need to kill all that debt. And I need some skills to sell; another two years camping in Austin will give me those. I want to learn to silversmith most of all; my experiences with the Pagan and New Age communities means I'll never run out of a market for nice ritual stuff. I want this as much as I want my anthropology degree, and I can make a decision about the where and how of that after this. So my other task today is to get up to the library, print out my transcript request form and have it faxed to SPC today. Once that is sent off, some time next week I intend to sit down with an advisor and explain to them the situation with Texas Tech; I am not going to pay them that money now, and I am not going to let their grotesquely huge beauracracy's screw up keep me from going back to school.
Also, I need to go to the dentist. That would be nice. This tooth with the hole in it is hurting again.
