some things that have recently come to light (surprising/lame/happy)
- i'm looking for a new internship for the spring semester. this means i've been constantly tweaking my resume and cover letter. since i want to work in urban redevelopment/housing issues, i'm applying for jobs/internships in that realm. most are due by the end of November, so i'm feeling positive. as i've explained to most of you, i can't be an accountant anymore (even though i'm glad to have learned the skill without having to spend money on a college course). onward and upward.
- i'm not terrible at Economics. this was the surprising one. although i still have the final to take, i did very well on the midterm and i'm actually understanding it. i'm guessing the reason that i did so terribly in Econ 198 in undergrad was because i was too busy planning my wedding/life together with the guy i sat next to and had a giant crush on. he got an A. i did not. typical.
- i shouldn't try and write a paper about something i'm not interested in the day after halloween. this isn't HD 101 anymore, Sarah, get with it.
- poor Blue Steel's window got smashed in by some kids when i left my ipod in there and they wanted it. a hiccup in my last Saturday. i hope they enjoyed the indie folk rock and whitney houston.
- vegan roommate Leslie is back in the house! an exciting new development. she has inspired me with her presence - i have upped my fruit intake three fold this week already. (my diet is abysmal to say the least). and no, joy, i haven't had any vegetables this week at the house. i'm not going crazy here.
- registered for the Spring semester: Public Budgeting (potential snooze, but a core course), Race and Urban Redevelopment, and Urban Politics. i'm very excited :)
- started reading Diary of a Bad Year by J.M. Coetzee. it's very good, but every time i read a book for fun i feel guilty for not studying something else.
- sometimes i just have to shut my brain off and watch the Kardashians. so sue me.
in sum, i'm trying to keep my head above water until Thanksgiving, when i make the adventure to NYC once again for what will prove to be another delicious meal and Andrew's home brew.
