English.

I did it.

I applied for my first administrative aide position at NYU (there are about four listings for currently open aide positions, tonight’s was the cold plunge). I put together both a resume and a cover letter according to GCC CSO specs. I’m feeling pretty good about everything. I’m hoping that job applications are like any of the writing assignments I’ve mastered over the years, where the first one is excruciating, but it gets easier with practice until eventually you can roll it out in your sleep. Maybe cover letters work like that. I hope. 

I know normal, everyday things like applying for jobs should not be the all-day, herculean efforts I turn them into. I know I shouldn’t procrastinate out of a crippling fear that I miss some detail or do something incorrectly, thereby blowing all chances of future employment. I know my insecurities never make me happy. I want to be a mature, responsible adult who can handle writing cover letters. I know I can be.

Maybe with this first effort, I’m half a step closer. 

So, turns out the TLC accidentally lost all of my documents/pictures/music. I have a backup from early February, but I’m pretty bummed. At least I have hard copies of all my English papers.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO turns out that I had all the things on my computer all along, they just got shuffled over to a secret file. Why was I surprised when it turned out that AW knew how to find everything? 

Dear people who want to give me clothes as gifts,

Walmart knee brace. This is what I’ve become. 

my @*#$&% knees won’t stop hurting, and I don’t know why this is happening to me again. I feel like I can barely walk up/down stairs which doesn’t really work here. At least I only live on the second floor. Also I can’t bend down to pick up things, so I guess everything I drop will just stay on the floor for now. 

studying in the language lab = AW’s greatest idea ever. Each desk area has plenty of space and a cushy office chair. 

This paper isn’t going to write itself. 

(unfortunately.)

I realized that I was waaaay off track with the Robinson section of my paper, because I let Messer’s lecture get into my head and I lost focus of my main argument. Sooo REWRITE ALL THE THINGS

Cannot WAIT to be done forever with student organizations that were designed to waste my time. Graduation can’t come soon enough.

FIFTY-SEVEN DAYS EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPP
