I'm going to go make pasta.
Oct. 19th, 2009 05:46 pmToday I woke up bright and early to go to campus to talk to a literature adviser to change my major! So I made over there by 11, only to find... A locked office. The lights were on, but no one was inside. There was a sign in the window that stated, "Office open M-F from 8:00 AM-5:00 PM! :)" And I was like, "CLEARLY IT ISN'T, LIARS."
So then I decided to screw it and went upstairs to talk to the academic internship people instead. I was just there to find out when the deadline was to apply for people who've found internships on their own (since it fails to say so on the site), but somehow I ended up filling out an application. And I have an appointment with an internship adviser for next Monday at 11. Which is hilarious because a) it means I have to go over there early again and then kill time for hours, and b) technically I do not have an internship and really have nothing to say to the adviser other than, "Well, I'll be getting it!" Oh, self, you make the best decisions.
Then I went to the library, did more research for my sci-fi paper, then did homework for like two hours (most of which was spent staring out the window; augh it was so boring). And then I went to lunch and bought hazelnut milk tea! And then I went to class where we discussed Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens and the Snake River and I was like, "I already know all this! Score!" (For those unaware, I once hiked up Mt. Rainier for my sixth grade trip! The other classes got to do some "team-building" exercise involving ropes in like Kirkland or something. We got to walk across narrow paths high up that didn't have handrails. I am surprisingly not bitter about this.)
I guess I'll just make an appointment with the literature adviser? (Appointments are in the afternoon; walk-ins in the morning.) I didn't before because I didn't know who to address the email to. But after today, I'm not that keen on trying the walk-in route again.
