It's the first day of December. Where did my semester go? Why do I have to write so many papers and why are all of them due next week? I have 5, count'em 5 papers due next week. Final drafts, not rough drafts or anything like that. I am so shit at time management.
On a brighter note, I got an internship. Unpaid of course, but it's experience. I'm interning with Harvey Klinger, a publishing company. Basically I get to read the first 5 pages of people's manuscripts and I decide whether or not they will be considered. I am the first line of rejection at this company. The fantastic thing is that I don't have to go anywhere for this. I just read stuff on the computer and organize each one into folders. And it takes place during Spring semester, so I won't have to be away over the summer. I'm pretty excited, but terrified because this is in addition to my academic work and Carnival is second semester.
I shall be home shortly. My roommate is driving me back to the Midwest on the 20th of December. I am not sure if she is driving me the whole way or if I have to get someone to pick me up from Munster, IN. I'll figure it out.
But I AM COMING BACK AND I EXPECT TO SEE ALL OF YOUR FACES ALL THE TIME!
When are your Winter Breaks? Tell me, tell me! I require this knowledge.
Also, here is the song that you all have already heard most likely.
I LOVE THAT SONG SO MUCH. Thanks for giving it to me many moons ago :D
ReplyDeleteAnd that internship sounds like a lot of fun! I need to get one of those, hopefully this summer. I have one potential connection to a smaller publishing company.
My finals end December 16th, so I will be home that evening and will stay home until January 16th ish~
How long are you staying with us?
This sounds very exciting indeed! Congrats on the internship and I am so glad you get to touch our faces and that we get to touch yours despite your position of REJECTION QUEEN.
ReplyDeleteIf you need a pick up, I just happen to own a car and love road trips.
I WANT YOUR INTERNSHIP. SO. BAD. BOOKS, UNF.
ReplyDeleteThat's epic news, my dear, and it sounds lovely that you won't have to actually travel anywhere. Also, boooooks.
Also, I'm marking the 20th on my calender as "Frabjous Day". My winter break starts next Wednesday because UIC is a strange beast. I'll still have intern writing to do during the break, but that is nothing compared to the crap ton of work this week has consisted of. My break ends on the 9th of January.
I'll be with you guys until the 7th of January. I might need a ride to the airport since my sister is leaving for Rome on the 2nd(I think) of January.
ReplyDeleteBut I am really looking forward to seeing you guys!
Man this post makes me ask so many questions.
ReplyDeleteWhat is carnival?
Are you studying abroad in Rome for a semester?
Did I somehow miss this knowledge?
Have I been living under a rock?
WHO AM I?!?!?
And now, to answer your question: My break is from December 17th to January 17th, but I won't be in town until the 20th or so, and I am probably going to duck out around the 10th or 12th of January.
