In which Sky remembers to update her journal. Finally.
• I keep... forgetting to post. I check my flist and think, "I should update my journal," but then I think, "But what would I say?" And so I don't. That worries me a little.
• School continues apace. I'm a little behind on everything because I'm starting to realize that I'm bored with school. Obviously this means I need to figure out how to make it work for me again. I think that's going to me just putting my head down and doing the work no matter how bored I get. Not an exciting prospect.
• Slightly more exciting: I talked to the head of my department (also my Poetry teacher) and mentioned that I was worried about being able to graduate in May 2013. I'd been looking over the list of things I've taken and things I need to take, and it seemed like there were more that I needed to take than would allow me to graduate after another two semesters. This is totally unacceptable. But she was really reassuring! She said that we should talk to my new advisor (old advisor now has a different position) and that we could likely spread my previous credits out to apply better. I nearly wept with joy.
• Things with the Boyfriend are still wonderful. Wonderful enough that I sometime look around to make sure that the rest of my life isn't falling into ruin while I'm distracted. (It seems not to be.) I sort of hope this wonderfulness never goes away.
• Summer Internship applications start... now. My first deadline is tomorrow (and I am finishing up my cover letter before I go to sleep tonight) with Penguin Group. After that, most things need to go out by the end of March. I'm applying to pretty much every major publishing house in NYC that has a fantasy division, and about two dozen literary agencies. I just need something for this summer so that I can a) be in NYC for an extended period of time and b) have it for my resume when I apply for internships the summer after I graduate which will hopefully help me get a job.
• Apparently when I get down, I start looking for apartments in NYC. This doesn't actually help. Note to self.
