Mysterious Times
Sep. 17th, 2003 09:22 pmSo... there's a lot going on in my life right now. Some interesting stuff is happening in the RP--nothing I can really talk about just yet, but everybody will understand very soon. It's... gonna be exciting. That's all I'm saying. ;)
Yesterday I walked around the Ave and picked up applications for jobs, and talked to my friend from work about a possible position with the other people he works with. And today I bussed downtown to check out the hotel-catering situation. Unfortunately I forgot my list of phone numbers and stuff from previous jobs, so I had to bring my application back home and will fill it out and return it later. I only got one, because the other place I found sent me into the little bar/restaraunt thing for information... and I couldn't go in because it said "Persons Under 21 Not Permitted on Premises," of course.
That's something like the sixth time in the last two days that I've stopped just short of a door and muttered "one. fucking. month." But, of course, in one month these jobs will all be taken. So very frustrating. Oh well.
I get to see Phantom of the Opera at the Paramount this fall!!! I am sooooooo darned psyched. And I hope my mother realizes that this means we have to dress up all pretty and stuff. Both of us. I will either force her to wear one of my dresses or we'll have to go find something new for her. Whee!
Also, I am volunteering for Freshman Orientation next week. Does anyone of you current/former UW students have any thoughts on things that concerned you or that you wish you'd known back when you were a freshman? 'Cause I'm having a remarkable lack of ideas on the subject. It should be interesting, anyway.
I have work tomorrow and Friday. I am sooooo grateful to have work. It is lovely to know that money (even in relatively small amounts) will be coming in.
And, lastly, I am appalled that, yet again, the end of summer has managed to sneak up on me. I am amazed. I was beginning to feel like this summer would never end and then *bam!*--there's the end of it, looking me right in the face. And making me realize how many things I have left that need to be done. Yikes.
But it's all good.... I shall persevere, I'm sure. And I'm loving the thought that I shall soon be back in my lovely little dorm room with my wonderful roommate and all our friends and new classes to explore and all that good stuff. I'll miss this house and all... but I'll come back to visit often enough, I imagine. And I'm ready for a change of pace. It's time.
Hopefully this will be a good year.
