New semester

I'm alive, don't worry. I actually would have another post up but I tried to do something fancy to it and of course, it got deleted. I was so frustrated with it that I didn't bother retyping my entry.

Today's the start of the new semester - my last one at Wellesley. Did I mention i go to Wellesley? Perhaps not, but i do. It's an all-women's liberal arts college in Massachusetts. Yes, I'm a senior. Yes, I have no current plans for after-graduation. It seems this is the number 1 question asked most by new adults I meet. Remedy: stop meeting new people. I will hole it out in my room for the rest of the semester, or until I get a job. I'm really hoping the latter occurs first.

Speaking of jobs (hell, I don't want to) a friend recommended that I apply for the NY teaching fellow she's doing now. It seems reasonable but I don't particularly want to be a teacher. In fact, it would be one of my ultimate fears come alive. Students! taking over the classroom! Misbehaving and not listening to me! Uh-uh. No thanks. But actually, it could be beneficial. Perks: having a JOB, you know that important, money-providing thing everyone does; living in NY; doing something substantial.

I have the most awesome schedule this semester. I have 2 classes, which meet 3x a week in total. I have an internship all day on Thursday, and that leaves my Monday completely FREE! 3-day weekends: I love thee. Except with work and practice, I don't have any other commitments. And that's how I wanted it to be, so I could spend time looking for jobs (haven't done that yet) and/or work on my research paper (haven't done that yet). Eh, it's only the first day of classes; I'll keep ya posted.

So I started drafting again - drawing homes and floor plans. My goal is to reprise my love for working with floorplans and working on them in AutoCAD. Then I'll build the models - my favorite part. It'll be a good hobby to keep up. I've even bought all the supplies; now I just need the motivation. I also need a large enough table space to sprawl out.

It's dreary outside; I don't particularly want to go outside but I've gotta go into the Ville.

Just finished reading: Holes, Louis Sachar. I love this book and finished it in 2 days. It's one of those great feel-good books that's tastefully done with a great twist at the end.

Currently reading: Now that I've finished Holes for about the 294 time, I'm inspired to read the other Newbery Award books.
