Booyeah, everyone. things are finally starting to come together scholastically, financially, personally, etc. This is a good thing and a good feeling. And Hallowe'en is this weekend, which means it's my birthday on Monday. Woot! for that.
But not so woot because I have a huge presentation to do that day. But whatever, I'll get through it, and it might even be good. Postmodern theory is wonderful, awful stuff.
In the continuing grad school saga, I'm no closer to choosing a school, and I found out that my #1 choice is actually embroiled in staffing disputes, which is not coo. (Basically, there are so few jobs for English profs in Canada, that if people aren't taking the jobs they are offered by certain schools, that really says something.)
But the good news on that front is that the department wants to nominate me for a SSHRC grant that would total about $17500 for the year, which would certainly make any decisions about my future a LOT easier. If I got it, of course.
Lip zits are the pits. I started getting one earlier in the week and now I've managed to carve it up pretty good in an attempt to keep it from taking over my face, which wouldn't be a problem except that having an open sore on my mouth a) makes me look like I have herpes and b) interferes with my plans to mass-consume salt and vinegar chips because I keep getting th vinegar flavour in the open wound.
yay, long sentence.
The new layout is wicked awesome, but also temporary. I think. I fully intend to do something with it and do all my own coding but right now I just want something new and something me. This layout is very me.
