What a world...

Time seems to be moving at a snail's pace, yet the days and weeks are slipping through my fingers. I have 3 million things to do, and absolutely no motivation to do any of them. I'm tired all the time, and I get headaches and have stomach problems. I'm going to the doctor's next week to get checked out. It's possible that I picked up some illness in India. God nows the food preperation was suspect there, not to mention the sanitation facilities (when we were lucky enough to have them). It's also possible that I'm depressed. Either way I don't care. I just want some pills to make it go away. I need to get my butt in serious gear.

Good news, I heard from Dr. Baker today. My appointment as a UWRF instructor has gone through the dean's office with approval and is now onto HR. I'll be getting paided more than I would at UC, but I'll have to pay out rent for two apartments. I know it's sort of silly to keep my apartment in Cincinnati, but I can't really justify doing a full move back to Wisconsin when I know I'm going to be living in the Nati this summer and I don't know where I will be off to come next fall.

That brings me to the job hunt. So far I've applied to one university. I received an intial response (affirmative action crap)back. I found myself wishing I could put any ethnicity besides white/caucasion. I know it sound terrible, but minorities with my level of education can write their own job descriptions. I don't know what my chances are for the position, but I don't have high hopes. Sending out more job applications is one of the things on my To-Do list.

My friend Alex is also applying for jobs, and that's all he talks about. He's a bit of an ass about it though. He applied for the Wellesly position even though it's not in his specialty. He just wants to be in Northeastern US (to be close to his parents). I'm glad I don't have that hang up. Heck the farther a position is from home the more appealing it is to me. Also, I don't have any ego about the whole thing. I'll work at any college, even community colleges. I just want to get paid. Again, I know that sounds terrible to only be concerned about money but I'm broke. I had to put off going to the eye doctor's, the doctor, and taking my cat to the vet until after the first of the month so I'd have money for it. I still have no idea how I'm going to pay off my credit card.
