Can It Be?

I've made it to Friday again. Sorry about the lack of posts but I have no idea where the days are going or why they are blending into one another. By this point I can only conclude that the Nonion internship is a bust. It's been two weeks, and I am no longer naive in regards to these internship things. When I applied for an internship almost a year ago I waited for what seemed like a month (most likely three weeks) for the editor to get back to me. Eventually I ended up just emailing the editor and inquiring about the position. What I've learned from that experience is that a) I will not wait anxiously about an internship for longer than 2 weeks and b) if the interviewee doesn't email or call me back in a fashionable manner than the hell with them.

It would have been incredibly cool to work at the Nonion, not always for the right reasons though. It was located in Soho, everyone was really young and I was hoping to make some friends. That's the part that really made me want it so bad. But whatever, I haven't let it get me down. Sir Maxwell Frey just did not see me as good candidate and if you would have been with me on the interview, you would have thought so too. I won't email him back, I won't inquire and sulk, I've decided to move on and look for something else.

Of course this week has been hectic and crazy. Monday I had a day off, which I spent at the library getting books and DVD's (Damages starring Glenn Close is the shit) and then it has been nonstop work from then, including my nice 12-8 shift today. The bookstore and the internship are killing me. I am so done putting away resort and sitting at a desk for 7 1/2 hours. While I haven't quit my internship yet I still feel like doing so every Tuesday and Thursday. Though I am still at the bookstore I still feel like quitting every Monday-Sunday. I love some of my co-workers but I have outgrown my time there.

I am applying to something HUGE. So Huge I can't even go into too much detail about it. The application is a series of questions along with some storytelling from my end. Though it isn't due until October the 1st (which is not that far away) I want to have it sent off and postmarked by Monday. No later than Monday. Getting this would be amazing, and would help me out financially, creatively, and yadda yadda yadda. It's a paid internship located in the city and the praying begins now that this works out. I am putting my all in to it. Hence the lack of posts this week.

The craziness is almost dying down though. Hopefully I will have a moment to breathe in the next few days. Anyway, time to work on application before I have to head to the bookstore.

if you want a proofreader, i'm right here, friend! a university pays me to teach people how to write well, so obviously I'm qualified ;)

but seriously: if you want proofreading (typos, or all-out full-on content & form commenting), I would be more than happy to do it.

i feel like quitting my LIFE most of the time, just dropping it all and moving to some hidden remote jungle location where i would probably be eaten by insects or large jungle cats.
