I'm in such a pissy mood. There doesn't seem to be a whole hell of a lot on the internship front. Not a whole lot of choices, and NO ONE is getting back to me. I've sent out close to a dozen applications, and the only response I've gotten is that damn independant film company that I've never heard of and have no clue what any of their work is, etc. This is like uber-independant as far as I'm concerned. I think independant, and it's more along the lines of the stuff that I usually like to go see at the movies. "Independant" in the sense that they're still movies w/ the actors I enjoy, just with better scripts/direction, etc. I'm not thinking, "hey, we've scraped up the grants to get a camera, so let's make a movie in the park." I don't think this is that extreme, but I think it's a bit more out there than I was hoping for.
And why doesn't anyone else call me?!?!? Come on people!!! Where are you, Conan? I'm not averse to groveling at this point.
Oh, and I've neglegted to scour my syllabus for that damn women's studies course, and lo and behold, I've got a paper due next Tuesday. The profs in that class have been really anal about taking a jaunt down memory lane and reminding us repeatedly when every little thing is due, well in advance (very middle school, but I'd gotten used to it, dammit!), so at this point, I think I've lost my syllabus in the catastrophe of printed out readings. So, now I've got to write this Lit paper to accompany the history one that I was working on after Tiff left, and I've got to read 2 novels (well, I don't have to read all of them, but at least give them a thorough scanning), read literary criticisms, etc and write the paper by Tuesday.
In addition, I've got to:
Polish off a book for my Brit Lit class.
Catch up on Ulysses (about 75 pages, which in Joycian terms is probably closer to 200 pages!)
Get a jump on a paper on analyzing the cultural significance of "the album."
Finish off a feature article for journalism.
I don't feel like going through any more. It's exhausting just thinking about it. I've still got 2 other classes that I didn't even touch (not to mention this whole internship nonsense).
I think I'm going to have to break out my Post-Its and start making insanely detailed lists again. That's not going to be pretty! *headdesk*
Off to class. I really shouldn't be back later, but I know I will be.
But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)
You can do it, and just take your time answering questions. It'll be better to pause a little longer and collect your thoughts than to jump right out after a question and find yourself rambling.
