Day 2.

Things our school should have done today but failed to do: 1) Cancel school 2) Plow the parking lots 3) Shovel the sidewalks 4) Turn on the heat

Needless to say, the snow provided a bit of a struggle today. But alas, I only ended up snapping my debit card in half trying to scrape the ice off my windshield. All in all, a success.

I finished my paper on Oliver Twist. I don't think it is very good. Then again, who am I to judge? The last sentence at least was a clincher, which is sort-of my signature style. After class I napped for a long and glorious time period which was interrupted by Elaine on Skype, once again. She is on her computer Skyping at least 4 times a day. And she doesn't talk at a normal decibel level. SHE SCREAMS. And it is usually in another language. Which makes it ten times more annoying. And end rant, as I am getting worked up just thinking about it.

After said nap, I checked my email. Drum roll please! I got invited to interview for the NYC Teaching Fellowship I applied to! In a nutshell, I would be a salaried NYC school teacher AND be getting paid to get my Master's degree. The chances I would even get an interview were  slim and so I didn't get my hopes up. But I felt really prompted to apply for this Fellowship, even though I was going to blow it off. So I finished my application the day it was due and submitted it and here we are. So I head up to NJ the weekend of Valentine's Day, because I have President's Day off...and spend 5 hours in an interview process with the Fellowship people in Manhatten on the 13th.

My immediate reaction was "CRAP I CUT OFF ALL MY HAIR AND I LOOK LIKE A MAN!"

But then I calmed down. And realized that they didn't even know what I looked like when they extended an interview opportunity, so they like me for the way I appear on paper. Whew.

In other news I've enjoyed being able to converse with my sister Alene a lot more since she discovered the benefits of Facebook chat. Sadly, I don't ever get to talk to my little sister Kelsey. I should work on that. Plus I haven't seen/spoken to my brother in months. I am totally failing at my family right now. I need to make a greater effort. February goal #2.

So... weird thing? I feel like my life started over as of last night. I feel like such a different person. And I really hope this feeling stays.

Things I hope don't stay: 1) the red spot forming under my nose that is horrifyingly painful 2) the snow

And I think that pretty much wraps it up for today. I am a little eccentric at 3am. I hope one day that somebody will be able to appreciate and understand me enough to deal with me at 3am. Which makes me think that I am not opposed to dating this semester. Shocked? Me too.

Anyways. My head is all over the place and I am being more funny to myself than to anybody else. So, time for bed.

Love.
