Finished reading Worlds' End. I was enjoying the stories, but not really getting into them as I normally do. And then...the ending. If you've read it, you know of what I speak.

I feel numb. Want to read the next one, but I won't be able to afford to get it for quite a wile. Maybe I can convince my mom to give me the last books as a birthday present?

The John K. Samson on CBC radio thingy was good. Joel Plaskett's on now, and it's nice. Both are being added to my Weakerthans radio tape, and copies will be made and sent off to some people. Samson talked about Reconstruction Site and One Great City, and it was good.

I'm almost ashamed at how teenie this is going to sound, but I <3 him. n'awww

Have been watching Season 2 of West Wing tonight. Bawled my eyes out over In The Shadow Of Two Gunmen, parts 1 and 2. Wow.

Put in more time volunteering at mom's work. If they weren't so apparently cash strapped (and the fact that I actually enjoy volunteering for them) I would totally give them my resume and ask them if they wanted to hire me on as extra help. Maybe I'll do that anyway. I enjoy it there, I know how things work in School Services (I'm sure this could be easily adapted to other areas) and I can quickly pick up new things in different areas. Hmm. Even if I just worked one day a week in the office... Nah. I don't think that would work, but I'm tempted to give them my resume anyway, just in case. I really should get a typing program and work on my skills.

The other day I told mom that I enjoyed doing the filing and photocopying there. She gave me A LOOK and asked me what I was doing in University. I shut up quickly after that, but I started to think, what am I doing in University? And then I remembered the day before when I was going crazy reading abstracts from the Classics conference, wanting to go to school and go into the library and not come out until I understood what I had heard in July, and I realized that that is what I'm doing in University.

ETA: Happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] nellifer! *squishy hugs*
