I'm exhausted.

Took the metro into D.C. with Mileva at around 10am. I was rehired at Ann Taylor at the Pentagon City Mall, which is really awesome because I can still buy discounted clothes and work at paying my Ann Taylor bill. I had been holding out accepting the position in hopes that something better would come along, but I haven't heard anything from any other employers yet, so I went ahead and accepted for now as just a weekend worker. They will schedule me eight hours on both saturday and sunday until I let them know I want more hours.

In the mean time, I'm still searching for a job that is anything but retail for the weekdays. Twisty got a job as a political activist, and after a day of training they asked him to be a field manager. Mileva and I scheduled interviews with them today and we both got hired on the spot at our interview as field managers, along with Matt. She and I will be working the morning street shift, stopping people on their way to work or lunch, asking for support against Bush's clear air act. It sounds like a pretty shitty job, but as a field manager, we'll all allegedly be making 1,000/week. This is insane. I'm hesitant about accepting this position; I didn't plan on standing around on street corners asking for money all summer ( hahah) , but it beats being poor.

I scored an interview with a Public Relations firm as well, and they're offering to pay $15-$20 an hour, full time work. I bought a new suit and I'm really hoping to get this job and forget about the whole field manager thing, but it's unlikely that this job will come through as there are probably tons and tons of other applicants, and it seems as though this new suit will be getting exposure more at Ann Taylor than anywhere else.

It was a busy, productive day, filled with bad mexican food, yummy ice cream, shop shop shopping, getting hired at two different places, wearing my pretty green shoes, metro riding like crazy, and bouncing all over D.C.

Tomorrow is my french mid-term and I've barely studied. I will study hardcore all day tomorrow, go to my interview, go to class, and somewhere in the middle figure out how the hell I'm going to pay rent in Norfolk all the way from Springfield. Perhaps I should have thought about this earlier.

I want to inhabit clean space, and I just can't motivate myself enough to clean my room, so starting this new journal seems like a good alternative.

Hanging around Matt so much as made me realize that I'm out-of-control crazy addicted to coffee. I find myself constantly telling him I need to stop at a starbucks or whatever coffee shop happens to be around, and it is totally necessary because whenever I wake up my eyes are heavy, my head throbs, and my mood is totally unbearable until I have that first sip. This can't be good.

I saw UVA today for the first time. As I was riding around campus I kept thinking about how it was such a neat place with awesome vibes, but I can't quite imagine calling it home. I don't remember if I felt like this when I first saw ODU, but I'm hoping the city will grow comfortable around my shoulders. At least there are tons of coffee shops in the area.
