Getting the keys for our new apartment on Wednesday. Unfortunately I won't be able to be there because I have work, but Ariel has a class in the university that day [meaning he'll be in Jerusalem anyway], so he'll be the one to receive two pairs of keys and take care of transferring the bills under our names.
In other news, yes, work. I got a temporary job translating document Hebrew>English or the other way around for a company that imports and sells paints. Also working as the CEO's secretary.They only need me till October and I go back to school in October, so this works out perfectly. The only problem is that it's located in the middle of fucking nowhere [a small town about 20 minutes away from my mother's house], which means you have to get there by car, otherwise the only bus that gets there only comes once in 2.5 hours [not to mention I have to take another bus to get to that one]. So my dad has been kind enough to let me have his car even when he's not abroad, but I still have to take the bus at least once a week... not really complaining about that, just, you know, telling the background story.
I just feel like I don't have time for shit anymore. Working 08:00-17:00 five days a week, sitting at a computer for 9 hours and really getting shit done for these people [I don't think they really expected a lot when they put this job on the market. What they expect me to finish in two days, I finish in an hour, I shit you not], I come home and I am waaaaaay too tired to really do anything. Yesterday and today I've forced myself to work on some art, but nothing really interesting or new, just a portrait. And when the weekend finally comes, between me working and Ariel studying, we spend 100% of our time in bed, having Shield marathons and stuffing our faces with friend eggplants. I just really miss working on my own projects. I haven't had time to do that during the school year, surely wasn't able to combine it with my schoolwork, and I doubt I will get that opportunity next year. When I didn't have anyone I would just use my weekends for art, but I can't really do that anymore.
I mean, the week after I finished all my exams, I got a job. I just wish I could rest for a little while.
Anyway. I'm going to stop whining because I have a boyfriend whom I love, and a pretty decent job that pays well and I really need the money because I have NO IDEA how I'm going to pay for my apartment!!!! :D
At least I have my discharge grant from the military to pay for the previous and next year of school [you can only use the money for certain things. i.e. paying for school\starting a business\buying an apartment].
That will be all.
ETA: ALSO! Got an A on my Understanding Animation test - the one I was studying all that documentary animation shit for? It was only a small portion of the exam, but there was this one question about whether The Cameraman’s Revenge could be considered as an animation documentary. And I gave them SUCH a good answer. I mean, man. I am really proud of that answer. I was all well according to this and this article learned in class, The Cameraman's Revenge doesn't answer the definition of an animation documentary, but!!!!! considering this and this film watched in class, that had similar attributes to The Cameraman's Revenge and also does not qualify as an animation documentary according to the definition the article suggests, I conclude that the film in question could, in fact, be treated as an animation documentary. I know no one cares but I was so fucking proud of that answer, it was A+++++++++. And having taken a different course with the same professor the previous semester, I know he's extra tough when it comes to grades, so I am very, very happy with this A.
