So I'm an Articles Editor. Which isn't quite the position I wanted, but considering how the interview went, I kind of feel like the figure skater who fell in the long program and still managed to win the bronze. It's still part of the editorial board, which is a pretty big deal, considering how many people applied ( Read more... )

A - Age: is just a number
B - Bed size: big enough to fit me
C - Chore you hate: Webster's defines "chore" as "a difficult or disagreeable task." So wouldn't enjoying doing something make it not a chore?
D - Don’t eat: spoiled food
E - Essential start-your-day item: contact lenses
F - Favourite board game: Chasing away aliens using one with a nail ( Read more... )

I'm supposed to keep a "journal" of my experiences working for the judge, which counts for 40% of my pointless one-credit seminar grade. I figured since I'm writing about it sporadically anyway, I might as well double-post to the blog ( Read more... )

So that thing I talked about last time, about driving myself mad as a full-time writer. I got a case of it right now. Supposed to do a revision of a piece I'm writing for this blog, and I didn't like the way it came out on first draft and there were a couple of holes in my research, so I just have to do some quick Googling/Lexis-ing, plug a few ( Read more... )

The ex showed up at Shabbat services tonight. I knew it was only a matter of time. But it's the first time since that I've seen him anywhere. And what happened was ultimately anticlimaxic -- I kept my distance, and he didn't approach me. Though I did catch him staring at me briefly (I think) from across the room. And he left around the time I ( Read more... )

First off, I love how you guys have hijacked my other thread. It's awesome, seriously, and I want to respond to all of you and tell you how awesome you all are, but I'm too tired right now ( Read more... )

Well, that was pretty pointless. I got there at about 8:55, and after ten minutes of waiting in the lobby, his clerk came down to tell me there'd "been a mix-up" because I hadn't responded to the e-mail with the start date, so they weren't sure I was coming in today, and thus weren't ready for me. Really? I didn't reply ( Read more... )

Here we go again.

( A new semester looms, and my identity crisis works overtime. Woohoo. )
