Be Be Be
So, remember a couple of days ago when I said I couldn´t get hired anywhere?
Now I´m hired at too many places (Security, which I´m dropping. Tutoring a little bit in Japanese, ushering on occasion, and some amount of hours at SLCDC.)
Geez.
I´ll be a little busier to be sure, but ushering is always a fun occasion for me and tutoring, while it´ll take up some time, it won´t be too intense. SLCDC sounds close to just a desk job with some added pressures, and I plan to only be workng there from like, 4-5:30 or so a day (hopefully just an hour or so a day so I can ush decently.)
Anyway, so there are good news. More follows:
---
I´m doing well in French and German. I´m not as comfortable in them as I am in Japanese (though, it´s a matter of comparing 3 weeks to 6 years, so, ne.) Japanese as well is lots of fun. A light workload today for it, and so.
Teaching drill sessions was an amazing amount of fun. I actually really like teaching (who would have thought it, you know, with teachers on both sides of my family.) So, who knows, maybe I´ll be a professor: I was already planning on getting a doctorate in something or other.
Astronomy and Linguistics go well as well (sie gehen sehr gut.) Linguistics still just amuses me, even if we´re doing Phonetics and I feel awed by the intensity that people get into it (somehow, I think these intense academic squabbles only get more frequent the more you get into academia.) Astronomy is just a wonderful class all over, even if it is mostly lecture. It´s a nice break to have it.
---
On bad notes, though, I´m starting to get that vagely mopy, ever-so-quietly-present feeling last year of just-general-wanting-for-relationships-and-sex and wondering-why-it-isn´t-ever-me feelings. It´s funny. I can be in Chicago, where I know hundreds of people, and I can be in Texas where I know nobody, and not at all feel those feelings. But you stick me in a little town with a bunch of my peers, and, of course they bubble.
Damnit, I almost can´t wait until it goes away. One blessing of being old, anyway.
Ja, now that I´ve been all mopey and whiney, I´m going to go eat breakfast and stuff, and go to insane amounts of classes. Classes in the morning, lunch at the co-op, あらすじ for Japanese, going to Japanese, and then working an hour at the co-op.
Then the weekend.
And I have a love-hate relationship with the weekend: it can be really fun, but that vague worrying ¨what am I going to do and who am I going to do it with¨ feeling is always bothering.
Adios!
