Time for some good news....
I GOT OFFERED AN ASSISTANTSHIP!!!!!
Yay!
It's from the department, though, and they said I'll get the details of my position at a later date. So I'm somewhat afraid I'll end up TAing for an archaeology class or something. Not that I'm meaning to complain, I'm totally happy to be receiving funding. I hope that I'll be the TA to the Native American Languages Program (which would involve making copies for all the instructors and such). I know that is a department position that they usually give to us linguists (the two second-years in my program have each had that position), but they may have already given it to one of them or they may no longer be offering it, what with all the budget cuts.
Also, the position is only for one semester, which means I'll be going through the same stress come Spring. Not fun. :( Stupid economical problems had to hit right when I got here.
More good news: Stephen is coming to visit me tomorrow!! I have to finish my evaluation of a French textbook for my night class tonight, but then I'll get two lovely days with him. I'm excited.
I'm not so excited to go home today. My roommate and I are going to try to get back into the Insanity program. Neither of us kept it up over Spring Break, so it's going to suck majorly today.
