At last! Tandem in the Latin. Or possibly tamen? Whatever, the JFP finally called me, and I have an interview on Wednesday. Which means that tomorrow I need to go make sure that my hair is all one color, because as it stands now, it is not. I can't decide whether to go back to brown or stick with red. Dying it again will be a hassle from hell. It requires upkeep and money, etc, but it looks fabbity fab!

no news is annoying news
I sent in my writing samples yesterday, and ever since, I 've been checking my email every half hour. I know, rationally, that they're not going to get back to me that fast, but the nutso half of me (the larger half of me) insists upon it. My only consolation for the delay is that they might be so excited about my writing that they're running around screaming to everyone in the office about the briiiiiilliant kid coming to work soon.
I'm bored and I don't want to write my paper about the identity of otherness in Midnight's Children and The God of Small Things. I want to watch the new episode of the Tudors online.

!!!
Fab news, gentle readers! I sent out some resumes to most of the publications in the Jackson/Ridgeland/Madison area about a week ago, and today I got an e-mail from the Jackson Free Press about an internship! They want me to send in a few writing samples and then set up an interview. I can't believe this! I thought it was going to be way too late for anyone to take me, but I guess it's never too late for free labor. Which I am totally willing to do. We all have to suffer for our art at some point or another. Yay! I am using exclamation points a LOT!!!!

Snooze Button
I'm so tired. I set my alarm for two a.m. so I could finish some assignments, but I just let the alarm go off every nine minutes until six, when I actually did get up. Sooo, I spent all of my classes today dead to the world. And then there was a mild nightmare regarding me trying to turn in a paper. Basically, it involved me having to harass multiple people in the library to find out which computer I had saved my paper to because I had forgotten to e-mail it to myself. Luckily, I knew the guy who was on the computer that had it. He e-mailed it to me, because the school server was down. Go, Digital Doyle! Long story. Had to be there.
Anyway, I am now putting off working on my short story due tomorrow. Basically, I'll be revising one I wrote for a different class. I liked it a lot, but it had some inherent flaws, like that it pissed everybody off, and not in a good way. I need to redo the ending and doctor up the middle. That, too, will probably get posted on LJ, after I've looked it over again.
I have actually made a decision regarding my thesis! I'll be writing it on representations of subcultures in young adult literature. Which means that I'll get to read cool books like The Perks of Being a Wallflower and get a grade for it. Shiny!

LJ
Soooo, I've started a livejournal for my original and fan fiction. Don't worry, my four readers (if that many), I won't abandon blogger. Here is where I'll bore you with my life, and there is where I'll bore you with other people's lives.
The website is in my profile.
