May Day, May Day

You know it is spring in Akron when all you can hear are lawn mowers and leaf blowers. It seems there is a constant buzzing in my head.

I slept until almost 11 today! Good thing I don't have much to do. All my big papers are turned in and I graded everything but my students' portfolios yesterday. I also revised all my poetry of the body poems, so now I have 9 more good ones to send out. And I think my thesis is up to 40 pages. I'm feeling better.

It also looks like I'm going to be moving sooner than I thought, since I'm not nearly as busy this week as I expected to be. It kind of sucks, though, because I made the decision to move in the middle of April, and my landlord doesn't pro-rate rent at all, so I have to pay for all of May here and at the new place. Ugh. This means no road trip.

I'm going to be looking for a job next week, too. I've decided not to do the temp thing again because working all day in an office in the summer is torture. Instead, I'm going to take a trip down memory lane and try to get a serving job (maybe bartending, who knows?). This is how I paid for the first two years of college, so it's old hat, but it's been a long time and I've gotten lazy over the last couple of years. Waiting tables is hard work. But it should help with that new series I'm working on, right? It's research!
