Oh hey it's another post about that heat wave thing...
So, if the wind would just start blowing a little bit...I'd feel hundreds of times better. Instead it's crawled up to the mid 90s and stayed there for the last 2 days. Unfortunately the wind died too. Let's hope the rest of the summer doesn't follow this pattern. I popped my air conditioner in mostly because my roommate's cat is miserable...shifting around trying to find somewhere cool to lay down, and verging regularly on panting (a pretty hefty sign of overheating in cats).
Once it actually brings the temp in my room down a bit I'll toss him in there with his food.
I personally am not a huge fan of air conditioning...I really prefer natural air if I can at all get it. But Diego isn't willing to do the things I do when I'm trying to cool down.
Work's air has at least been not terrible, though this week has been rough overall. It's hard when you go from being fully staffed back to understaffed. I'll appreciate the overtime in my paycheck this week, but I could do without the hectic atmosphere that's making my nerves fray around the edges.
So the graduate school application thing is rolling along. I started my resume and CV from the ground up since the one I have is so old. It's been hard to go back through all the AB stuff I've done and figure out what exactly I did for them each year. It's both terrifying and liberating to think about making such a change in my life. Yes it will mean debt up to my eyeballs, and no it won't guarantee me a job...but I think I'll be more fulfilled than I could ever hope to be where I'm at in my life now.
Who knows if I'm at all qualified or a good editor...but now is the time to find out.
Hearing very conflicting info on what constitutes a good portfolio, how hard it is to get in, and what kind of prospects you look at after school. Scary but I really can't say I have anything else that falls into this level of zen for me. I can sit for hours editing, and not even realize time has passed. There's something valuable to that moment that I'm pretty sure I need to explore.
