Join me in the Rubicon and paddle me to France.
The first of the law school apps heads out into the wild later this week. No trepidation at this point. Merely weary resignation. I can't think of too many more times I'll be forced to pay for rejection. :)
But it's likely just housing stuff that's got me down. This is my first real go at apartment hunting by myself and coupled with the time constraint, the monetary constraint and the geographic constraint of not being able to be there (and meet people/scout locations) until three days before I start work is more than a little frustrating.
I'm just trying to avoid showing up to work that first day broke, not having showered for half a week, and without a place to sleep after having been swindled out of the little I've been able to save for just this trip. ::sigh::
But E managed to save the day with but 5 mins of conversation and I heard from an anthology editor who was still thinking of a story I'd submitted a few months back. He'd already formally rejected it, but as I understand it, he was having a bit of a trial putting the thing out of his head which was perhaps the greatest compliment he ever could have paid me. Suffice it to say, the novella may yet see the elusive light of publication!!!
But for now, I have tea and a Daniel Silva novel awaiting me. Year-end memes coming shortly.
