Teaching Creative Writing
iwannabecait:
Just got my teaching assignment for next fall: ENGL 351 Fiction Writing I. I am so excited to be teaching something I love. Something that is not freshman composition.
YAY! That’s very exciting!
I feel sick
I think the cold medicine made me feel worse and not better. Blah.

And three hours later I finish applying
I have the best roomie ever and he gave me some pointers on improving my resume and tailoring to this job. So now my resume looks better than ever, but then I saw that the job had been posted since 2008. I don’t really know what that says about the job. Also, I had to e-mail it in and I didn’t have a cover letter for the body of the email. So, I basically wrote a really short and lame...
Oh goodness, a job I'm actually qualified for

It’s the best review anyone has ever written about any of my books.
If you want a copy of Time Magazine this week, you should probably go and get it now, because my mom is currently attempting to buy like every copy available on newsstands in America.
John Green’s mom sounds like the best mom ever. Besides my mom that is.

This kickstarter has almost tripled its goal and will soon be enough to cover the entire estimated cost of the project. Almost a third of the backers donated less than 15 and it has made a huge difference. Donate if you can.
What's that you say?
Oh! It’s 2 am and I should be sleeping? Weird. I thought I was supposed to just be laying here for hours in the dark. I guess I could try sleep, I don’t know if it’s really my thing though.

I've never been so wide awake in my life
I just want to go to bed, so I can actually get up for work tomorrow. And I’ve been really active all night. I worked all day. I read before trying to sleep to relax. And I’m laying here just bursting with energy. I really want to keep cleaning, but I know that will keep me up even longer. Bleh.
On the bright side my kitchen is really clean now.
A Monday
Let me recap today so far for you.
Turn off alarm
Sleep for way to long
Late late late for work
Work for 2.5 hours really hard and dedicated-like. As if I really cared about my job and my customers.
Get virtually nothing accomplished in that time despite #4
Decide to go home for lunch where there are leftovers and products to make my hair not look like bed head and netflix
Walk all the way...

The Fault in Our Stars
Finished it after work. Forgot to eat dinner. Really loved it. Need to digest it some more before I can really say anything else.
Also, I would like to say that today was excellent. Work was excellent. The book was excellent. Lunch was excellent. AND it is snowing. Excellent day was excellent.
