And she finally updates
yes, miraculous, I almost disappeared, and then one night, as I was trying to outlast Grandma's insomnia (ok, not insomnia, it's only 10:12), I updated. I can't even remember where I was when last I updated, I think I was trying not to go into detail about the injustices I suffer when I live at home at the hand of my mother and sister. BTW little sis, you should do the seat, I should do the lights (though really you should do those too, since when am I going to ride that at night, I got nice ones so you would actually have a decent set and wouldn't put it off until some car didn't see you and knock you off your bike) and we shold split the servicing. This would actually put it at about half each, but I want you to know, I don't NEED that bike. I hardly even used it last summer, and this summer, I have the use of a car in addition to excellent public transit. so there.
I am back in Chicago, house-sitting for my grandparents, who leave tomorrow evening, unfortunately. After they leave, I will be able to look for a job (without someone continually peering over my shoulder and telling me what to do). I will also get to move in with my lovely, wonderful, non-peer-over-my-shoulder, helpful aunt. yes. love my grandma, but she's a little bit stressful and I didn't really need help with that when I stepped off the plane. In terms of what sort of job, I am going to go for something computery, I think that I could easily do spreadsheet gruntwork, I'm pretty good at using Excel, Word, and PowerPoint by now, having had to analyze all sorts of data, and give way to many presentations, and write more papers than I want to think about. I would also love to be an intern at some sort of performing arts company, theater or dance, I don't think at this point it matters, just that I get my foot in that door. I could work a box office, and I think I'd like that a good deal better than deli or cashier, at least I could sit down. I could also tutor math, really basic science, or up to somewhat less basic biology. I'll eventually be able to teach dance classes, but I won't feel comfortable doing that until I've taken a class about how to do that, I don't feel like I really did the best I could the few times I subed at Danse Boutique. I'm also sure that with a little training, I could be pretty good at it. Oh, and I think I might be a secret shopper, I've gotten a lot of spam about it, but I also found stuff about it from slightly more legitimate sources, and Grandma says that Charle's wife does that. As I think that at leasti n some situations, you keep what you buy, I think it would pay off (even if I didn't get payed anything except what I bought, it'd earn me dinner).
And Columbia wrote to tell me that they didn't have some part of my application, so I have to call them and find out what they do have and what I need to nag people about. joy joy, happy happy, the school that I want to go to, which I might not be able to go to because U of C are gits, is possibly loosing parts of my application. grrrrr.
Just in case I didn't have enough to worry about on my plate at the moment, I may have thyroid problems of a temporary or permanent nature. and then again I may not, but regardless, it means I have to arrange for and pay for a test to be done here and sent to Kaiser, because Kaiser is all comprised of gits and don't cover me out of state. why is the world comprised almost completely of gits? Yes, I have been reading Harry Potter. Order of Phoenix, in preparation for the Half-Blood Prince. Something good in six days. Something better in 13: Dan comes home. home meaning Appleton, but still, this is a much more managable distance than Japan. Ok, I think I have distracted myself long enough, I will check email and stay up later.
