Check-in

I suppose it's been a while since I posted properly. Unfortunately, I don't have much to talk about. Things have been pretty standard around here... though now (thankfully) I'm mostly over the semi-breakdown I had a few days ago. My job search is still largely barren, but I've finally got motivation enough to go restaurant-hopping tomorrow. I've got four on my list, and a map in my head. Hopefully this will result in something. (I just got a call from the bank I applied to... that's something. I shall call them back in a few minutes. Though I must say... what's with people having names I can't parse? It makes calling back so much more stressful than necessary.)

About the only eventful thing lately was going up to the observatory on Ryerson a few nights ago. It was surprisingly clear for a Chicago night, so we got a good look at the moon and Jupiter and a few random stars. I had trouble figuring out whether it was cooler we were using the same telescope Carl Sagan had used at one point, or that we were on top of a campus building at 2 in the morning when we probably weren't allowed to be (yay for friends with keys to buildings). I also couldn't help thinking how dorky it'd be to get arrested for trespassing when that trespassing was for the purpose of stargazing.

And so, that's pretty much my life. There's also an apartment that I need to call about, because it looks promising (free laundry!)... but I shall take things one at a time. Bank first.

P.S. Phone interview tomorrow morning at 11 for an actual publishing job. Frak. Time to work on sounding confident.
