One Week!

In one week to the day I will be heading toward my new life in Seattle. It is so weird, it seems like just yesterday that I was bitching about having so much time and everyone being on my back. Now I don't have any time left and I feel overwhelmed. Not necessarily by the packing because technically, I have almost all of my stuff ready. I am overwhelmed because I have so many things that I want to do before I leave New York, but there is no way to do it all. Sigh.

I'm still not really looking forward to going to classes or teaching. Colleen and I have been talking about our book ideas and I'm actually getting really excited. Don't get me wrong, I'm not delusional and I know that it take A LOT of effort and talent to get a book deal, but honestly...it can't hurt to try, or even to just have something to be excited about. I feel like I might need that in the near future. Besides, nothing is impossible! You never know, we may be on the bestseller list someday ;)

Sorry if I get sentimental or do any of those things that other bloggers do that I hate. At this point I'm really just tired and I don't care. I'm sort of mixed up I guess. Maybe when I get to Seattle and start classes things will clear themselves up.

Hmmm...I guess that is all for now. I'm rather blah right now...maybe because I'm tired? Who knows.

Hearts,
Sarah

P.S. I really do wish I could still be in Europe. <3Europe 2k5<3

Career #4850987540198

So I've been thinking lately and that is usually pretty dangerous. The recent theme has been about how grad school and teaching might not be for me and I'm really scared about starting and blah blah. You know, the usual deal. Ever since I've started thinking this way I've thought of tons and tons of other careers that would make me so much happier.

My decision? Well obviously I'm still going to go to school and teach and whatnot. At least for 2 years. Worst comes to worst I'll have my masters in communication, which could potentially be useful in any of my alternate career choices. While doing so I'm going to work on several projects I've just created for myself. Colleen and I are going to write a book and I'm not gonna lie, I'm REALLY excited. it is going to be really cute and funny, assuming that we actually finish the project. Other projects....top secret ;) Well not really, most of you know what they are, I'm just not in the mood to describe them right now...and also because if I fail miserably I won't have documentation of my desire to do said career. If i succeed, sweet deal...If not, I'll get my PhD or figure out something else.

Seattle is going to be really fun. I'm still pretty amped about going, I just can't believe it is coming up so soon! OY!

More later!

I think my air condition decided to take the day off. Am I wrong, or does it not make sense that my room (with the air condition set on high) is still hotter than the rest of the house that is AC free. It really picked a great day to crap out because it is balls hot out. I am not very tolerant of high heat.

So I actually made my decision on the pressing matter of whether or not to get my hair cut. I was all set to do it today and I walk in and am greeted by an older lady saying she'll be right with me. Hmmmm...the haircut is fairly modern and I wasn't quite sure if she could handle it...needless to say, my hair did not get cut. Granted I feel like an asshole for bitching out on it, but I prefer to think of it as symptom of my PTSD triggered by the idea of a bad haricut. Since the horrific encounter I had with the shears last year, I've been extremely nervous when it comes to taking scissors to my hair. I wasn't trying to be an ageist bitch, but really, I'm not in the right emotional state to deal with Mullet Summer Part 2.

I decided today that I really enjoy writing. I'm not very good at it, but I like to do it. My friend Dana and I talked about our dreams of dropping everything and just hanging out at our homes and writing. Honestly, to be paid tons of money to sit at home on my computer all day (which is pretty much what I do now) seems extremely appealing. I was really excited at the end of our conversation...so who knows where it will go. For now, my writing is confined to this blog. If anyone wants to pay me for it, I won't object ;)

By the way, I'm glad that I got my computer fixed and that it doesn't just crap out and die like it used to...oh wait no, it still does that, even after the month's worth of repair time that went into it. AWESOME.

Sarah

Jet Lag = Jobbies

Yeah, after my first good night's sleep and a general good feeling on Tuesday, I thought I kicked my jet lag in the balls. Yeah no, not so much. Yesterday and today have been very sluggish days, but I haven't even done anything! If I hadn't already been dubbed "grandma" now would have been a great time to adopt the name.

It is pretty typical of me not to want to do anything. It is like that scene in "Office Space" when Peter asks Lawrence what he would do if he won the lottery. Peter says he would do nothing...me too...If I could do anything I would do nothing. So moving to Seattle to go to grad school and to teach 100 students of my own is starting to get a little scary for little Ms. Lazypants. Which is why I'm doing as much of nothing as possible! It is getting hard, however, as the tasks of packing and furnishing my apartment are looming over me as I'm set to move in less than a month.

I guess I'll continue to do nothing for as long as humanly possible. I'll sort through pictures and other sorts of memory type stuff I acquired in Europe. I'll continue to contemplate whether or not I want to risk hacking off my hair (yup these are the pressing decisions I have to make). I will also continue to go to bed at 10pm and wake up at 7am until I can shake off this jet lag (just in time to jump 3 time zones in september I'm sure!).

I guess that is all...I'm still deciding on a new name for this blog...while SarahUK2K5 has served me well, I'm not there anymore :( I'm still waiting for suggestions!

Muah!
