It seems that I can't get enough of research and writing. Even when I've been continuously smacked down by literary agents, rejected left and right, I still continue to think of ideas to write about. I have two rolling around in my head right now and I'm trying to think of some way to get them to mesh. But even if they don't, then I guess I'll have ( Read more... )

Life still sucks. I'm not going to grad school anymore for a variety of reasons, but the main ones are a) can't get any student loans and b) Mom has to have chemo and I don't want to struggle with school while trying to babysit her ass for the next year. And apparently Adam can't go to school either because the radiology program is only for full- ( Read more... )

Work sucked. Steve J is such a self-centered, uneducated, uncultured piece of white trash that it makes my head hurt. Apparently me telling my husband that I wanted to try steaks with caramelized onions and Gorgonzola cheese was "hoighty toighty." Uh, no. It's called expanding your palette you uncivilized miscreant. Try expanding your horizon once ( Read more... )

Apparently. When I logged into my student account, there was a button that said "Accept/Decline Admission" and after I clicked "Accept" it say I was enrolled. So... maybe I don't have to send my transcripts after all, since I got my BA from there, too, they just looked it up themselves. So, I guess it's kind of official. I'm enrolled in grad school ( Read more... )

I applied to be a Student-at-Large. Now I'm waiting for the university to get back to me...

At least 13 people got letters at work. Steve R. said we should have a club and I said our motto should be "My Bad!" Am fortified by the "strength-in-numbers" mentality ( Read more... )

Yes, I do. Haven't I mentioned that before? I'm on my frickin' day off and I still hate it. And the really, really shitty thing is... I can't get another job! I either don't have the education or the experience. My degree is pretty much worthless because all employers want are either people with high school diplomas or frickin' Masters! And I don't ( Read more... )

So my super awesome agent that I really, really wanted rejected me this morning. Go figure. She did however give me a referral to another agent. So... I emailed Agent #2. Here's hoping she likes me enough. If not, I'll just have to forge ahead with RI ( Read more... )

I was complimented tonight. I know it's shallow and vain to be so happy about a random compliment from a practical stranger (I mean, we know each other in passing because we used to work for the same department and now he works for a neighboring one), but I am happy. And I'm posting it here to remind myself of that when I'm having a down moment ( Read more... )

So, while I'm typing this, I have Sleepy Hollow playing in the background. :) So happy ( Read more... )
