I just want to say that I love Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam.

Working on packing. So much to do.

I experienced a first today. I had an interview with a woman who would like to offer me an internship at a development/government appropriations consulting firm (basically a glorified one-woman show), and she became the first person in this extensive job search of mine to tell me that she found my resume "very impressive." Granted she's not ( Read more... )

I shared a building with the Obamas tonight. Namely the Kennedy Center. Not the same performance, sadly - they saw Alvin Ailey, we saw the National Symphony - but at the same time! Yay for the Obamas' Friday date night.

There's something scratching my window. It's been doing this for a few hours now. I haven't looked to see what it is yet because I'm pretty sure it's either bugs or the pigeons being their cracked out selves.

But what it sounds like is an ice storm or a snow storm. I love that sound so much. I love the sound of cold wind on a winter night ( Read more... )

Yesterday evening I sat in one place with my laptop precariously balanced on my lap for 2 1/2 hours until my butt went numb at 11:30 so I could steal someone else's wireless in order to register for classes when registration opened at midnight. Sure enough when I got up at 11:30 because I couldn't take it anymore and put my laptop down, I lost ( Read more... )
