i'm a blob

i managed to pass another day by not doing anything. well, i caught up on a couple of e-mails i needed to send out, but other than that most of my day was spent on facebook or watching the eagles-vikings game (i wound up rooting for the eagles out of contempt for a former flame of mine, who just so happened to be a diehard vikings fan).

i spent most of this weekend trying to figure out what i should major in. in the end, i've decided to remain a public policy major. after doing some research, it seems that, while it's not out of the realm of possibility to become a city planner with a b.a. in public policy, it's much more difficult to procure employment in other fields with a b.a. in geography. hence, i'm sticking with public policy.

now all i've got to do is finalize my schedule for this upcoming semester. i've resolved to complete that task by the end of tomorrow. (anybody know of some worthwhile courses i can take?)

considering moving my semester of study abroad up to fall 2009, which according to uct's academic calendar means i'd be gone from july to november. that means i have to work on my focus on fall abroad application this week. i'm trying to determine whether my feelings that fall 2009 is "too soon" are genuine or based on my genuine nervousness about going.

no new news on the job front, as the organization that i want to work for (the one in silver spring) was supposed to call me last week with regards to whether i got the internship, and they never did. i guess this means i'll be working for the one in bethesda (which already offered me a position, albeit less paying). i also responded to some employment opportunity ads on craigslist today, although i'm not expecting anything to come from them. (yvette mentioned something about caribou's district manager wanting me to come back on board, but i haven't heard anything since.)

i also need to work on my applications for the ihs and perc seminars, although since i discovered that the ihs seminar that i was interested in actually takes place in august and not june (as i'd thought), i need to figure out what i'm going to do about that. need to contact ex-professors for rec letters for perc as well.

i miss how on xanga it would tell you how many people had read a particular blog entry. now it's hard for me to gage the readership of this blog, since nobody ever leaves me comments, although i do get a kick out of it when somebody references my blog in the real (that is, the non-internet) world.

i guess i'll go to bed now.
