11 pm: too late to call my parents, so I'm blogging instead!

Today was a thoroughly ick day. Didn't finish my reading, couldn't concentrate in lecture, discovered that my new nemesis is the Ann Arbor Transport Authority and to top it off arrived home too late to get my Thor bluray from the main office where UPS delivered it. I JUST WANTED TO SEE CHRIS HEMSWORTH'S ABS IN HIGH DEFINITION ON MY TV.

I effing love that movie so much.

So I went to Petsmart to get litter for the shittens (one day I am going to write an entire post on cat poop), and to Target to return something, and came back and woe-is-me'd on the couch for awhile, pretty exhausted. J came home from work (it's a busy week for him) and as we were chatting I opened my spam folder because ever since grad app time I got into the habit and lo and behold there was a reply to the thank you e-mail I sent after my interview Saturday.

I got the job! Pays $12 an hour and is much more career oriented than current job. So I guess I have to put my notice in tomorrow which is incredibly stressful for me. A lot of people have assured me that they will find other work-study people really quickly and this is a better opportunity but I hate hate hate letting people down.

I also got an e-mail today asking me to send a resume and cover letter to one of the science museums on campus because they got a grant to digitize their millions of plant specimens (grants are good; they mean I can do work-study and grant-funded work). I have no idea if any employment would come out of it but I'm currently tapping away at a cover letter expressing my interest and eagerness but playing down the fact that I don't really have any experience. If they say they don't have anything for me oh well I never would have heard about it if I hadn't followed my desire for more free food and nosily butted into someone else's conversation. I think I will take it in to the career office tomorrow to have them look it over. So much to do....and then all my reading and Thor watching of course :)

The kittens were especially adorable today. Loki is so damn photogenic:


Lola, while adorable in real life, is not:
