Got laid off.
Seems God thinks I haven't been shat on enough by life, so now I've been laid off, approximately a week before my final preceptorship report is due. i'd care a lot less if it had happened just one week later and, preferrably, in a non-abysmal job market. I need to talk to my associate dean to see what he wants me to do; i can't imagine he's going to make me repeat a whole semester because of one missing week. And a layoff is not in any way my fault, so it just doesn't seem fair to fail me for the semester.
Depending on what John wants me to do, I'd like to apply for an internship at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston that I heard about. it involves an interdisciplinary effort to design storage solutions for special pieces in their permanent collection. If I don't get that, I'll come to St. Louis and see if I can be of any use there. I'm relieved in a way; I wasn't having a great experience at Gensler. The preceptorship is supposed to be a learning experience, and it taught me that the corporate environment is not for me. And that I have a lot of exploring still to do to figure out what I really want to do in life.
