here I am on the wrong side of 7AM. I was really sick earlier in the week and totally threw off my sleep schedule. dang.
well, in other news, I have a nannying job offer that I am in the process of accepting, though we are still working out the final details. it's only 30 hrs/week so far, but it might be more later, and the hourly wage is enough that I think I could break even without adding another part-time. With the holidays fast approaching I might consider working retail for some extra cash; we'll see how things pan out.
I have a lovely roommate who is now, by MIT standards, also my spouse/partner. We brought in our shared lease and they printed my out an ID card, no questions asked. I mean we are a family unit in a lot of ways, and the benefits include free gym campus membership and access to a lot of other campus resources.
I'm mostly happy here, but ready to start work. I've been spending too much time around the house and I'm concerned I might start sprouting roots into the futon if I watch any more Sex and the City dvds this week/month/year. I miss Matt and family. I also was hoping that whatever job I got would help me expand my local social circle, so I might have to reach out a little more in other ways - as much as I've clicked with this family so far, I'm also looking to connect with people my age and with similar interests. It might actually happen through church, i'm looking into getting involved with one nearby :)
This may be a bit choppy but I'm going to go now. It makes no sense for me to be awake right now unless it was to get up and go to my job I haven't started. Maybe this time next week? It's about time I stopped sucking at life!
