batshit at tjs

After my lovely birthday dinner at Pinot Grill and a lovely birthday opera of the unbeatably fast-paced Puccini, I discovered the evil wiki. This wiki is where people write in to report on any contact they've had with the schools they've sent apps out to. Over the past few days, I've found out that out of the 14 schools I sent cover letters to, I did not make an interview/more materials cut to 5 of them. So, as you might imagine, this made it very very difficult to motivate and do the work of preparing for the mock interview I had today. So yesterday was quite miserable really: I was irritated while at the writing center and I came home and absolutely refused to grade my students revised compos...bad ms. baby. And I was in a fully foul mood today, but I pulled it together, made some jokes, and had a good experience with it. I was surprised at how very short it was.

So at this point, I'm ready to put the job search thing behind me. I don't want to think about it anymore, I've dedicated too too much time to it. That's not to say it wasn't useful because having to concisely articulate what is really at the core of the project will absolutely guide my revisions and so forth. But I'm so done with the rest of it.

To celebrate the end of classes and feeling ready to embark on a new set of tasks, I went to Trader Joe's and went absolutely batshit. I'm feeling superambitious and I'm embarking on an energy-driven new kind of life for the next two weeks. Isn't it lucky that I've already been having my little blah time that usually comes at the end of the term?
