The week ended, and I was glad when it did. I get the feeling that my classes are going to wipe me out this semester. I have fallen deeply in love with my new iPod Touch. It's so handy to check email and Facebook whenever I'm in a wi-fi zone. And it's nice to have podcasts back in a portable form in my life. Oh, how I love podcasts. Mmm. Not to mention music and tv shows and whatnot at my fingertips. It's a thing of beauty, really.
I had a nice time the other day sitting with Nick at Starbucks and discussing what it is that Conway needs. I mean, we talked about how we can be servants to the community; how we can meet a need. There is an idea percolating that could become a life-changing endeavour. We will see where God leads.
Eryn and Edith are in Chicago for the weekend for a PT school interview. I wasn't able to accompany them to the Second City because I'm broke. However, I'm with them in spirit, and definitely hoping to be able to join in on the next interview trip: Boston at the end of February.
I had a small crisis in my planning to go to China this summer. I got a notice that I needed to pay a $500 deposit to the office of international studies before I could access the grant money for use in paying for that very program. I talked to Tricia in the Honors office, and we worked something out so that I will be able to get a bit of my grant money early and pay the deposit. Whew!
Working for Kaplan this week has been a pretty good gig. I manned a table in the Student Center during lunch hours, and I did some flyering. It went well, I thought, and tomorrow I've got to be at a practice GRE/LSAT/MCAT, etc. that Kaplan is giving here on campus. So far I've kind of been in a trial period so that my supervisor could see if I'm actually going to work out for marketing, and soon we're slated to have a "what does this job look like" conversation to get things rolling in the direction of gainful employment.
Speaking of gainful employment, my parents got my W2 form from working for Liberty Tax. I wish I hadn't been reminded how much money I made at that job, because it makes me want to hit somebody. In the long run, I think I lost money working for them. Ugh.
I would like to start working out in the gym again. I haven't done that consistently since I was a Freshman. I really like working out, but it's hard to get into the swing of it initially, and it's not so fun to go it alone, anyway. Next week, hopefully, my cold stuff will be totally gone, and I can think about exercise once again.
