I thought i might post
It's snowing here in Elon and whilst I'm at work I'm thinking I should call Keller and have her take over. I live too far away to risk my life on the road with these people. They already drive like they're the only ones with licenses (which is probably ironic for more than a couple of them). It's coming down pretty hard now. I'll call her again after this post.
So begins the scariest semester of my time at UNC-G. On top of my normal three classes (two of which are online), I have my capstone project to do ( I can explain what it details to those interested) and a job to find. I'm not yet at the "beggars can't be choosers" stage but I already feel intimidated. I'm getting a lot of advice though. And I know, if I can just start getting them out every week, I'll find one eventually. I just hate it cuz I can't get my hopes up for any one job. Sigh.
I'll miss working at Elon too. I really like it here. Still, I'm looking forward to working fully and full time. I really need a break from school too. I've been doing this shit for 18 years now and while I intend to continue until I get a Ph.D (who am I kidding? it won't stop there I'm sure), I reiterate my NEED for a break from school. Should have taken a year off.
I took Amy to see Juno. It's even better the second time around. There isn't much I don't like about it. One good thing that may come from the writer's strike is more indie films. That would ...interesting at the very least.
Also, the Greensboro gang went to Sweeney Todd. Burton and I have never been close and this movie reminds me why. Suffice it to say that the man butchered a clever show and I pray that those who have seen the movie and not the stage production are not completely turned off.
I want to see Cloverfield but movies are usually a let down anymore. I'm waiting to see what others think. It looks, of course, like another Blair Witch. We'll see...or not, rather.
Finally, not sure if i mentioned this: grandma is well and good and no more chemo...that I'm aware of. So, that's one less thing going down and one more finally going up. Or something.
take care all
