general life update
Apr. 1st, 2018 08:11 pmBeen a few days since I posted, whoops.
I got my sleeping schedule out of whack at the start of last week, which was mostly my own silly fault for falling down a rabbit hole of fic in a handful of new-to-me video game fandoms. I will not be writing for them, nor do I know the source material, but a lot of the available fic hits a bundle of my narrative kinks really strongly and I have a tendency to lose track of time when in the initial discover-and-devour phase. *sigh*
In college news, I finished and submitted my ethnographic observation writeup (including two diagrams, because I am an overachiever even when writing things down to the wire) and also finished and submitted an essay about my personal social media "brand," which was amusing since I have two (legal name and fandom pseud) that I keep strictly separate precisely because I am conscious of projected images and privacy issues. I need to check with the financial services people to see if I need to submit a new FAFSA for the fall semester, or whether my current one will cover that. And I need to pick my summer classes, run them past an advisor, and then actually enroll and start wrangling my finances into order. Most of that's going to have to wait for the second half of the month, or maybe May when I will have a car for a few weeks. (Dogsitting, yay!)
In work news, the rental office is slow right now because of Cornell's spring break, but should pick up again once people start thinking about summer housing and new grad students finalize their plans. Not the IRS, on the other hand, is picking up steam as people remember tax day is just two weeks away and start rushing in to our office.
In church news, Rev. Weis will have her official installation ceremony and then welcome party on the 15th; I have volunteered for cleanup since that falls within my hospitality team's four-week service period. (Our first week of duty is the 8th, for which I have volunteered to provide snacks and wash dishes.) The stewardship campaign has moved to our second phase, which involves personalized thank-you notes and also personalized phone calls to people who have not yet made their pledges. And on Sunday the 22nd, I will attend a champagne and waffle brunch for which I purchased a seat at our service auction last fall, because ye gods and little fishes, I will need a champagne brunch by then.
And that's pretty much that for now. :)
