Life is a Cabaret

i. I feel like doing Roman numerals today.

ii. I just got finished watching a movie and doing a write up of it for a class. It wasn't even a very interesting movie! Well, the content was interesting, but the performance was boring. Eh.

iii. Last week the school had a career fair, and I went because, well, not too long before I'm done with school. I talked to this guy from Grassroots Campaigns, which does things for groups such as Planned Parenthood, the DNC, the ACLU, Amnesty International, and so on. I expressed interest. Then today they were in the student union building again and I talked to them and they said they were doing interest meetings for summer internships today! With interviews! And I should come!

I agreed, because I need a summer internship. But then it was just omg unexpected interview! And I don't even have a resume!

So I put together a resume. And I got dressed up in interview clothes, and brought my resume with me to the interest meeting. No one else who showed up was in interview clothes, or had a resume. I hope that bodes well for me.

I think the interview went pretty well. My resume centered on my political experience and volunteer work, which is basically what this organization is about. I think I came across fairly well.

And the guy said they're going to let me know within forty-eight hours! Eep. Much sooner than I was expecting. I'm going to be nervous until then.

This is actually not the internship I want the most--I still haven't done applications for editing positions, which is what I really want. But if I do get this, it will be a big relief that I at least have something, even if I can't get my first choices.

iv. I FINISHED FIC TODAY. More than that, I finished another fic in the With a Little Help from My Friends universe, so now I officially have an actual series going. I also have a better name for the universe itself, but I don't want to reveal it yet. :p

But the fics in this series seem to just grow. Like, the first fic I was thinking would be about 3000 words when I wrote it, and I ended up with 10,000. This new fic I was thinking would be 2000, and it ended up at 5000. I'm not complaining since I'm pretty happy with the pacing as it turned out, but wow, quite the discrepancy between my expectations and the reality. :p

v. I did the association meme, and shinyopals gave me these five things:

( ARGH! NOT GRAMMAR! )

( University stuff )

( Doctor/Rose cuteness )

( Harry Potter )

( The X-Files )

I hate getting up early. Well, earlier than I would normally get up. My body always anticipates itself, and I wake up half an hour to an hour before I need to get up, which usually means I get less sleep than I need. On the other hand, I pretty much never need an alarm clock, which is a plus.

My mom's a high school teacher, and the seniors at her school do these presentations at the end of the year, reflecting on their experiences and things they learned and that kind of thing. People from the community come listen and evaluate these presentations, and, after years of listening to my mom talk about it, I decided to volunteer. Which necessitated getting up at 8:15, about two hours earlier than usual. Still, I actually enjoyed it, and will probably do it next year.

In DW news, I am still nervous about tomorrow's episode, and next week's. I am trying to be zen about them, but I think these will make or break my desire to watch S5 and beyond, and I want to like it. I've tried to stay relatively unspoiled about this season (which is different, for me--normally I love spoilers, love knowing what's coming), but for these episodes I've been reading rumors. Some of them give me hope, while others make me want to facepalm. I think I'm going to be reading reaction posts tomorrow before I get the episode, which I don't usually do.

But, now I am going to watch the last two Key to Time serials, and tomorrow I will probably watch the serial after that (uh, Day of the Daleks? *too lazy to check*), and then I will finally meet Romana II, which I've been looking forward to. :D

( So, Moffat )

Basically, I'm going to be...cautious. Right now I'm really reminded of how The West Wing was never quite as good once Aaron Sorkin left (also after four seasons), so I'm just going to have to wait and see.
