I think today is another lesson in realizing how tired I am. I think I slept for at least ten hours, not counting the nap I took almost as soon as I got back last night. ACen was fun, especially Saturday once I felt better (Thursday and Friday I felt kind of like crap, from stress and being slightly sick). Unfortunately, I don't really have any amazing stories to regale everyone with... I got glomped more than I did last year, which was good (though part of it was one girl that I ran into in McDonald's, and continued to run into all the time through the night). I actually braved the soap bubble which was... weird. I'll leave it at that. Working the art table was fun, as usual... we sold a lot of buttons and stickers, which means I kept pretty busy. (Busy enough, at least, that I mostly managed not to dwell on the ten-page paper I have due this Thursday morning). And hanging out with [livejournal.com profile] sketchyheart's friends was fun... my usual groups just kind of involve wandering, and skip on the random midnight battles when the Spoony Bards start playing battle music.

In other news... the apartment search continues this Wednesday. One of the places I'm seeing is going to be shown to me by someone who doesn't speak a word of English, which ought to be... an experience. I think this is the point where I have to officially acknowledge that I should probably learn at least a little bit of Spanish (I wouldn't even consider going, being as shy as I am in bizarre awkward situations like that, but I think it'll be fun. Most of the situations involving mutual incomprehensibility I run into here are the result of people just being airheaded... and the apartment looks like a really good deal).

I'm thinking that the best way for me to reduce my horrible anxiety over being able to get an apartment is to get a part-time job between now and the end of the month. I'm also working on my resume and stuff tonight so I can actually apply to places that don't pay minimum wage. There's a job as an audio-visual tech at the Art Institute that I would dance circles for weeks straight if I got. My chances aren't great, but I am mostly qualified, so we'll see how it goes, I suppose.

Oh, and eventually there may be ACen pictures... I just have to work on getting them off of my camera, and cleaning them up, and... stuff.

Actually, I lied. ACen pictures are up now. There aren't many, because a lot of them didn't turn out well (I'm sorry, I'm picky!), and most of these will probably get taken down within the week, but it gives a small idea of the con. Kind of. Okay, it gives a very small idea of the con, mostly from the art table. But now you know exactly where we were. (There are also a couple (meaning two) of interesting ACen pictures here, because I kind of dared him to come people-watch.)

And, as of 11 tonight, there are a few more. Because.
