So, in my many hours in front of the computer today, I managed to finish the last of my MFA applications and apply to two administrative-type jobs in the editorial realm. I made a little goal for myself — after weeping for ten minutes straight into poor Chad’s armpit about the sorry state of affairs here — I will get another kick ass part time café job or some kickass part time editorial type job. I will! The secondary goal is to eliminate the NYC transit system from my life by scoring said job in the neighborhood or within biking distance. I envision this as more of a spring/summer goal, since I don’t actually have a bike yet, and it’s about 17 degrees out.
Because, really, I just need to make it through this August, and then I can live off loans and write my little heart out at whatever school decides to admit me. Loans, baby, loans. No regrets.
Okay, and the other goal is to get some creativity action going on. That cookbook zine? I’m going to make it. So what if I can’t actually afford to photocopy it? One day I’ll have some extra cash, and I’ll photocopy it. So there. Chad pointed out that I’m letting money stop me at the start of everything, when instead I could be going along with my little creative projects until I come to a wall, money-inflicted or otherwise. Of course, it’s like me to be pessimistic from the start, but when it comes down to it, that doesn’t help at all.
Work with me here!
Sounds great. Glad to hear those MFA applications are out!
rock on city girl
Don’t ever mention my armpit online again.
Thanks Maud and “me.”
And Chad, I’ll try. But it’s hard, it really is, to get by without evoking your Adonis-like body on these pages.
Ahem.
You go! I would say, “You go girl!” but that sounds so unlike me. :-) Best of luck!
Who’s this “Adonis” you keep talking about? Are you seeing someone else?
Thanks Dawn. I appreciate that “You go Girl!” spirit, even if it doesn’t quite seem Dawn-like.
Chad, that “Adonis” guy, yeah…you don’t need to worry about “him.”
