i am hopping mad!

the professor for the class i am TA-ing this fall has been "accidentally" leaving me out of e-mails, etc. regarding upcoming events and meetings! normally i would graciously accept this as an honest misunderstanding, but he has a history of hating my guts for reasons i can't understand. this is a man who approached me - during an ( Read more... )

i am moved! it feels good to be home again, in my new, old house & favourite town. it feels strange to be a student again and incredibly intimidating (already!) to be a graduate student.

this is the current dealio:

my new house is great. it's in a beautiful old neighbourhood somewhere between kitchener and waterloo and is surrounded by equally as ( Read more... )

sometimes life is totally eerie like that! http://www.freewillastrology.com/horoscopes/ is like the perfect little map for my life - particularly when navigating the muddy, terribly confusing seas of trying to imagine future outcomes and rethinking current situations! thank god for horoscopes and beers in toronto, the cause of and solution to most ( Read more... )

 nothing, except ... i have a job interview tomorrow! eeee! spending my summer in retail and not getting a real, adult job for at least another four months means plenty of days/weekends off & having a little extra cash and paying off some loans while still having enough space, time, life left to read a lot. and, an embarassing admission: i actually ( Read more... )

i am now a (once again) resident of my childhood home. i spent all day yesterday unpacking the remnants of my previous room and putting together a near replica in my old/new room. meta?!

this is not the most terrible situation i had imagined. in fact, we have not reached the seventh layer of hell.

some good things:
we have a farmer's market twice a ( Read more... )
