happy st. patrick's day! i'm not sure why i love this day so much, but i really do. today i'm wearing my "everyone loves an irish girl" t-shirt and green beads (with the green shotglass removed from them). most of my st. patrick's day stuff is beer-related, so i had to be careful what i chose to wear to work today. i think i look cute.

i'm home ( Read more... )

just a quick update before i go to bed - i have now applied for five library jobs, all in ohio, and it's only the very beginning of march! i think that's a solid start to the job search. i have another i will apply for as soon as i edit my cover letter, and 2 others i'm considering, so that's good too. i'm just really hoping that i get picked for ( Read more... )

i'm graduating in may!!! yippee ( Read more... )

well, i finally finished a paper i'd been putting off for a long time - read my ridiculology post about it for more details. in any case, i feel a lot better than when i wrote my last post. just one more thing finished and off my mind.

mom and brooke are coming today, which should be very fun. i'm not sure why clayton isn't coming, but i suspect it ( Read more... )

today marks two years for me and jared. exciting, no? i sent him a bonsai tree at work, which i think he liked. he got off work early because of all the snow, and i didn't have to go into work at all, so we had a nice relaxing afternoon and evening at home. i posted some snow pictures on flickr - i was up and ready to head to work this morning ( Read more... )

so it seems that getting a letter from my advisor to let me graduate is a bit harder than it seems. not that it's my advisor's fault - it's just that she isn't supposed to do that, and the person that IS supposed to write it might not do it for me. long story short - there's a chance i might have to graduate in august. erica = not pleased. (and yes ( Read more... )

sorry for the lack of posts. it's back to school and work full-time for me - i'm hoping to get everything done by the first part of april. if that works out, i'll have a few weeks before graduation to kick back and relax. speaking of graduation... i had a little scare yesterday. i found out that i missed the deadline to submit my application for ( Read more... )

i had a wonderful day off today - probably the last for a good while. i took advantage of the day by going to panera for bagels with chase. our plan was to hit up the half price books next door, but as we soon found out, it won't officially be open until february 15th. but there were people there getting things ready, who gave us coupons for when ( Read more... )

it's late, but i'm not that tired. i know i need to get some sleep so i can get up and get to my beloved jury duty tomorrow, but i feel more productive being awake. and truthfully, i have been - i'm answering emails, catching up on things i've put off, getting prepared for my first class on monday night and my practicum that starts on thursday. i ( Read more... )

i had meant to link this article in my last post, but forgot - it's an amazing story. i'm sure there will be plenty more articles about it. i watched the press conferences with the two families, and it was inspiring to see these boys reunited with their families. even though one had been gone four years and the other only four days, each of them ( Read more... )
