schmericaI had planned to be working about 20 hours this weekend at the county fair, but it turned out to be closer to five or six -- they sent me home today after I got sick, and they don't need me tomorrow. Still, twenty five dollars or so is still better than nothing!
But not working tomorrow is good, I suppose, as it means I can work on my college application essay -- I just realized last week that the University of California Winter 2004 one needs to be postmarked by the 31st. I'm still trying to figure out what to do about school; any suggestions for cheap, decent West Coast schools that accept midyear transfers would be greatly appreciated. At the moment, I'm thinking of applying to Universities of Washington, Oregon, and California (Santa Cruz), and possibly Evergreen State College. UO is most likely, of course, because of in state tuition.
My doctors appointment (ear, nose and throat) was on Friday, and it looks like I'll be having surgery next month. Various parts of my nasal passage are swollen way up, basically, and have been practically forever. So a month from now, I should actually be able to breathe out of my nose like a normal person! Go me!
I might also have a job interview next week with Fred Meyer's, depending on what they think of my multiple choice answers to their weird quiz. They show a video with hypothetical situations, and you have to answer what you think the best response to the situation would be. That sort of thing always makes me paranoid.
Hmm. If you add in my g.e.d testing, I think that's it for my excuses to not work on writing. I have lovely new books, too! I just finished The Eyre Affair, and I've started both Behind the Screen: How Gays and Lesbians Shaped Hollywood, 1910-1969 and Lost Languages, which is about the deciphering of various scripts, both solved ones like Linear B and Mayan glyphs, and mysterious ones like Linear A and Easter Island writing. I really need to start keeping up in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shinybookses again; I'm *way* behind, to the point where it's probably better to just start again, rather than try to catch up.
On a final note, I would never have guessed that Burt Reynolds, Jackie Chan, and Dean Martin were all in a movie together.
