It's not that I haven't been reading every single post on this website eagerly, I have. I just haven't been commenting or posting because I wasn't really sure what I wanted to talk about. Despite the fact that that really hasn't changed, I guess I can talk about...summer plans?
This is the first year that I haven't known exactly what I'm doing for the summer (seeing as how I totally quit that darn pool job...FINALLY). Don't get me wrong, money is nice and all, but I think I'm getting a little old to show up to work with no pants and not be, like, sliding up and down a pole or something. I will miss the no shirt, no shoes, no pants, no problem job though. A little.
So I've been forced to range pretty wide for jobs, including Alaska (horse guide, zip line instructor, and dog musher being the positions applied for), New York City (publishing internships...Penguin started recruiting this week!), and good ole Chicago, where a friend wants me to move in to an apartment with her. All this is cool, but I would like to know like...NOW what I'm doing for the summer. The suspense is killing me. KILLING ME. On top of that, I have a lot of work to get done, and way too many end of the semester projects that I've been putting off. Yikes!
What are everyone else's plans for the summer, anything exciting? concrete? hopeful? Let me know!
In the meantime, listen to this catchy little ditty about how much I REALLY JUST WANT TO GO OUTSIDE. The video is actual footage from the church that later became the cult that drank all that poisoned koolaid. The band superimposed themselves on the footage...ah! Still a very catchy song though :D

If any of your plans happen, I'm sure that they will be fun. I'm intrigued by the Alaska one.
ReplyDeleteUm the first half of my summer will be in Chicago and the second half I'll be in Cambridge.
Beyond that I have no idea. I'm not much of a planner.
It snowed here yesterday. Sometimes, I really don't like Pittsburgh.
ALASKA! DO IT. Alaska sounds so cool....
ReplyDeleteI personally am searching for a job on campus because subletting my apartment is super impossible and I feel bad leaving it empty, so I kind of want to stay up here. Also I am not in a crunch for money, and I pretty much just want a job so I don't have a gaping hole in my resume... So desk jobs it is! Staying in Milwaukee would kind of be ideal. I'd also have my car, though, so I could visit Chicago and stuff maybe!
I think I have a back up plan in case none of that works out though... My boss from last year is willing to kind of make up a part-time position for me if things don't pan out up here. How super cool of her! She is such the best...
Good luck with Penguin recruitment! It would be so so cool if you got through!
Also: Rachel, it definitely snowed here Tuesday morning... I think I almost cried. I love snow, but bitch please. It is April.
