Seattle - Wednesday

[froggy_dear]

So... I went and talked to people. Now I have open offers for two work study jobs - one in the Writing Center which pays stupendously and one in the Archaeology Collections area of the Burke Museum which pays well, but not fabulously. But working in the Burke Museum is fabulous experience while working in the Writing Center is just very rewarding personally but probably won't contribute to any future career plans I might have. Oh my poor problems. Sigh. If I can figure out how to split my workstudy so I can do some hours at both I would have the best of both worlds.

We made our first trip ever to IKEA tonight. I'm still in IKEA shock. Holy Moly.

I'm totally making plans to buy furniture there after we move.

Ikea's just... wowage. The sheer Swedishness of it all. Given that I, in fact, am Swedish, it's great. (I saw a t-shirt the other day that said "Swedish Mafia: Efficient but Deadly." I wanted it so badly.) Granted, some of their stuff is very pick-and-choose, but oh, how I wanted those sofas and curtains and doohicky thingumabobbers...

Re: writing center... seriously? I'd take it, if it would't drain my soul. EVERYONE loves to see that you have teaching/tutoring experience on your resume, and it'll be really good for you in that liberal arts kind of way. (Yes, I know that anthro alone is liberal-artsy enough. So what.) If you hate it, I'm sure you'll have options.

Those doohickey thingamabobbers? My FAVORITE! :P

Yeah. Writing Center. It's mostly staffed by undergrads there, but they pay $25 an hour (if you have workstudy). And I don't think it would drain my soul. They guy I talked to was really excited. He's in a book that one of the Writing Fellows got published in, so he was massively excited to talk to someone coming out of that program.

Maybe I can do like 4 hours a week at the Writing Center and 6 hours a week at the Burke. That might be able to work out.

Did you get the registration memorandum email this morning?

That would have been nice to have, oh, SIX DAYS AGO.

*dies*

I'm so overwhelmed by this whole process I'm getting stupid.
