I think I just bought eyeglasses online. I mean, I know I did, but it's really just the idea of glasses until they actually arrive at my house.
See, my sister works for a company that sells contacts online and they've recently decided to expand into glasses. They have a ridiculous special on for friends and family to try out the online glasses service, so I'm getting these (described as "European modernism combined with stylish simplicity") delivered to my door for, like, under $75. Total. Even with my retarded blind person prescription.
Hahahahahahahahahaha.
I'm not sure what happens if they look stupid on me, but whatever. I'm looking forward to the challenge of not looking like a dork. I am almost certain to fail.
Library news, so skip over this part if you're sick of hearing about libraries:
1) Last Friday I had an interview for a student librarian position at the library. I've got a 50/50 chance because I think there are around 17 people being interviewed for 9 positions. I didn't think I would get it going into the interview, so if I don't it won't be a surprise. I just wanted the interview experience.
2) Today I found out I got a scholarship from the library, which is a welcome injection of money towards my tuition. Yea! Money! Seriously, this library job has saved my life more than once.
3) Someone told me about a job at a law library for when I graduate, but it's not really a librarian position. It's more like a tech job, which means being paid less than a librarian, but it would be a cool experience because they have database needs, loads of cataloguing, and would be a self-directed workday. I'll find out more soon.
4) Wednesday I start a two week stint getting paid an extra $4/hr for filling in for my supervisor. I've threatened people not to try to quit or ask for days off because I have no idea how to organise those things.
I've been keeping busy with socialising as much as possible, and have been fighting a cold for about a week because of it. I went to the Biltmore last Thursday (it's aight; red velvet walls!), the Mint Christmas party at the Railway on Friday (missed The Pack), the FairSands Christmas soiree Saturday afternoon (and ate so many yummy sweets!), Grandview Lanes for Pilot 1 Bowling Nite (Pilot 1 is a strike-related social club), and shared dinner at The Foundation last night. This week I get to catch up with friends I don't get to see very often and Friday I'm going to my friend's house for Nacho Hat Night.
Not sure when I'm going to clean my house for Christmas, but it has to be before Sunday. That's when the family gets into town. That's a whole other story.
