Goin' out West
So, in less than 48 hours, I'll be cramming furniture and boxes into a moving van and hitting the road. It's a little frightening to think about, honestly. I'm definitely excited to be going to San Francisco, but obviously the downsides are leaving behind a lot of friends I've made over the past two years, and I don't have a damn job yet.

But! I already know three folks out in the bay area (one of whom I'm related to), and with any luck, one of the jobs I've applied to already will want to interview me once we're out there. If not, then maybe just being in the area will open my eyes to more job opportunities.

I'm waiting on somebody to come and look at our desk (and decide to buy it) before I head to campus one last time to say goodbye to the Lilly, drop off some books for the GLBT Library, and do some banking to make sure that I actually have monies to spend. I don't really have a lot of cushion to go on, so I had better land a job with the quickness.

I reeeeally want to do something with my hair. I can't do what I want to do (dye it some crazy color), so I make due with giving myself haircuts. Unfortunately, my good set of clipper guards got left at my mom's house (because I leave things everywhere). I realize this just means that my haircut will have to wait until Sunday, but that seems like a long way away.

A week from tomorrow, I'll be moving into a new apartment in a new city. I'll live close to [info]scifunk for the first time since she lived with me and [info]lynsiex.

I wish this guy would come buy our desk already.

What thickness clipper guard do you need? Alex gave me clippers for my birthday, and they came with a ridiculous number [I didn't even know they made higher than a Number 3] - I'd be happy to lend one [or two, or three, or four] to you.

Thanks for the offer, but I'll survive until Sunday. I just have a compulsion to do something with my hair so it isn't boring. I'm going to have to get accustomed to my hair if I land a Real Job.

Please tell me you invited Becky out for drinks.

Also please tell me you are going to get ridiculously wasted tonight.
Wait --
I mean,
I will see to it that you are ridiculously wasted tonight.

Man, I wish. I barely got to talk to Becky at all. All I really managed was cleaning out my locker and handing in the key.

I appreciate your dedication to this goal.

what an exciting time in your life. i am a little envious, actually. moving to a new town allows you to once again reinvent a part of yourself...at least that's what i've done. i miss that! more importantly: I MISS YOU AND NAT! we need an IM chat soon.

It will be interesting to see what part gets reinvented, given my good progress recently.

I miss you too!

You know, some non-library jobs. Maybe a temp agency, etc?

Ah, yes. I'm putting in for a Research Assistant job and I'm gonna put in for a variety of things once I'm actually in the city.

IF I go to Berkley, you can count on me to visit you. Like... hardcore. Since you and Natalie would be the only people I know who live on the West Coast :D :D

I hope things go well, though. I wish I had the room and the cash to buy some of your stuff.

It would be awesome if you end up in Berkeley. :) By then we'd know all the hip places to be, and would be glad to see you.

I think things are going to be just fine, and I'm sure there will be plenty of updates in the coming days and weeks.
