Warm days make me space out constantly
Well, this afternoon I have an interview at a temp agency for the position of "Data Entry Operator". I'd long considered working as a temp, and so I'll give it a go. I'm somewhat nervous, as its been a long time since I've had to interview for a job and the last time I did it, my hair was considerably shorter. I'm going to tie it back and hopefully it won't look toooo bad.
Saw a photo of myself the other day with short hair, although it was at least 5 inches long by my estimate, and I admit that for a few minutes I thought about getting my hair cut about that short. I've grown so used to having long hair, and I think I at least want to keep it about this length until after graduation. If I'm going to get it cut short, it won't happen until a couple of weeks before I move up north. Or maybe earlier...I guess it all depends on how hot it gets this summer and whether I feel like messing with long, sweaty, locks.
Got accepted into NYU earlier this week, but I think I'm going to stick with Temple. Their program suits my tastes much better, and their faculty's interests are more closely alligned with my own than of those at NYU's. I realize NYU is probably more well thought of, but since Temple offered me a Ph.D. spot, I'd really prefer to take it and not having to go through the hassle of applying all over again (and taking that goddamned GRE Subject Test again! arg!).
Turned in one of my final papers today. 1 down, 4 more to go. The due dates are spaced out enough so that I should have a relatively light final couple of weeks. The worst part is going to be the exam I have next Thursday, but after that it should be smooth sailing. I just want the semester to end so I can read through the stack of books piling up next to my desk without feeling guilty for not studying.
Ironic that I'd feel guilty for reading, especially when at least a good 3/4 of the books in my stack aren't novel but are in fact detailed theoretical or philosophical works.
Also eager to begin writing again. I guess I could go ahead and start, but I don't want to pause my projects to finish these terms papers. Maybe that's just an excuse...in any event, I'm tired of writing papers for class, that's for certain.
And there goes my brain. I need to get some coffee in me before I go this interview so I can stay focused.
