Monday, I am leaving for Buckhorn State Park in Wisconsin, where I will be camping with four of my amazing Knox friends, who I strangely seem to miss more now that I'm about to see them again. It's probably because planning the trip makes me think about them more often. I'm really excited, but also wondering how a two day camping trip is ending up ( Read more... )

Last night I dreamed that my mom somehow got Scott Westerfeld to come to my house for dinner for my birthday, along with a few of my aunts and uncles. Which was pretty awesome. But then the dream changed, and it turns out that Scott Westerfeld and his wife Justine Larbalestier are not only best-selling, award-winning YA novelists but also ( Read more... )

So. I'm home. It's nice. I'll probably be bored soon, even though I have like ten projects to be working on.

Things I've done since getting home Monday night:
- Laundry
- Unpacking

I'd be working at a fair-owned attraction like the haunted house, the Space Needle, the giant slide, the Sky Ride, or a few others I'm forgetting. I don't know what the deal with the interview is, whether it's an "I want to hire ( Read more... )

I'm home, and all is well. Nothing too exciting's going on. Yesterday I filled out three online job apps (Borders, Byerly's [grocery store], and Blockbuster). I don't expect to get any of them. Today I filled out an application thing for a temp agency. I think I have a slightly better chance of finding work through them, but only the most boring ( Read more... )

I GOT THE JOB IN THE LIBRARY!!!OMFG (yes, I just said "OMFG"), I am so excited! I can't even believe it! I didn't think it was possible for a freshman to get a job in the library. But I have one! YAY! I'll be working the circulation desk, too, which looked like the most fun to me ( Read more... )
