Up... and down
Yesterday I unfortunately caught the backlash of the last few day's euphoria.
My interview on Tuesday went very well, and I go the job. Unfortunately I won't be able to replace Lina at the College... but someone else will take my place who needs it more than I do. I will work until the end of July, and I'll have all of August to prepare my move.
Also Tuesday, I finally got the results for FQRSC bursaries. They gave 8 bursaries out of 31 demands in literature... I ended up in the 8th position. But it's enough, since it gives me 15 000$ a year for two years. Not bad... UVic had to lower their own fellowship to 5000$ in order for me to keep both, but it's still 20 000$ for the first year... not negligible. At all. So I'm pretty much funded for my two years of MA, which relieves a lot of pressure... no big money worries.
But weirdly, yesterday, I started feeling pretty down, all of a sudden. I even hurt L. somehow, and I felt really bad about it. But everything seemed fine this morning.
Last exam today, German. I don't think I'll do amazing since I've found it really hard to study for anything lately... but it doesn't matter much anymore. As long as I keep my average over B... which is, well, not hard in my case, even with a lower German grade, since I've pretty much got straight As, except for one B+ last year. Then one last paper to write for tomorrow, about the contemporary usage of the word "ethical".
Tomorrow is going to be party time!!! Restaurant with L., orchid666 and her boyfriend. Then Tassie and Nelson join us at L.'s place for pre-drinking, then we all go to the Tribe where Bryan will meet with us. Expecting a nice evening, for sure... then Saturday is the LAC Last Supper, which I swore I would not go to, but I've been bullied into attending anyway. As long as I don't make a fool of myself like in first year... I should be fine.
Then Monday I start working at that job. I also promised myself I would attend a different happy hour every Thursday, because it is my last summer in Montreal and I want to enjoy everything it has to offer. I even budgeted myself some "party money" to make sure I can afford to go :) June with orchid666 will be particularly fun, I think :)
All right, I should give this German thing one last effort.
