exploding eyelids
02.03.2005 // 9:14 a.m.i woke up late today, feeling like my head had exploded & my eyelids had been glued to my face... i spent entirely too many hours staring blankly at my computer screen yesterday, and in the process of writing my midterm essay (which was about the vindication of the rights of woman by wollstonecraft) i seem to have given myself a rather nasty sort of migraine headache... not the way that i had hoped to start the day, but i'll have to make the best of it...
i have tons of schoolwork etc etc to do today before i can even think about going out with "a" tomorrow night... (i'm so excited!! hehe) i'm a little behind in my shakespeare class because i didn't get a chance to read shakespeare's "as you like it" yesterday due to the brit lit midterm fiasco... (writing a paper in one day... !!) and for my brit lit class, i need to outline some material about evolution out of the norton monstrousity... i mean.. anthology... then i need to get started on NEXT WEEKs assignments so that at some point i can start reading dickens (hard times) for the next paper that is due... ugh! and then after that, there is the problem of having two research papers due at the same time...
besides the problem of schoolwork, there is the ongoing and extremely tedious process of sifting through job postings, looking for something remotely interesting... something related to what i ultimately want to do with my life... over the next few months i will be transitioning from going to school full-time to working full-time to going back to school full-time... it will be nice to have $$$ though... i didn't get much back this quarter from school and i can't start ODU until the fall which means no more big school checks until september... the other thing is... my post-christmas book sales are going BADLY... i havent listed anything new on amazon in a couple of weeks... i've sold two or three books here & there... but it's been pretty dismal.
what else?! i have a second job interview tomorrow afternoon with bright horizons... i am really really hoping to get this job... getting this job is going to make all the difference as far as moving into my new apartment on march 1st etc etc... at this point, not finding a job in the next week or so is really not an option... i need to find something or else i am going to have to seriously consider putting off moving until april 1st... which is just not a viable option given my present circumstances!!
update: i posted yet another updated resume on monster.com & with a few of the temp agencies around town... my phone will soon be ringing off the hook... then i can begin again, the process of weeding out the jobs i would never do... i.e. i will never again work for a company that i view as unethical (capital one) or for a company that requires me to work weekends (capital one) or for a company that doesn't care about the health of their employees (capital one)... the whole time i worked for capital one, they never cleaned the carpets... if you wanted your desk/computer/chair cleaned, you had to bring your own cleaning supplies from home... there was ONE lady cleaning up after 5000 people!! mission impossible. (even worse, people didn't flush the toilets :/ ... i have never in my life worked in an office where people didnt flush toilets. DISGUSTING.)
It is only possible to live happily-ever-after on a day-to-day basis.
