I finished my last paper of the semester last night, it kind of marks the end of the term so I am feeling very relaxed and relieved. More so than I have in a long time. I do have an anatomy exam on Tuesday morning, I'm ready for it though, and it isn't nearly as stressful or pressing as a paper. So I'm feeling pretty much like I'm in the clear for the semester.
Aside from that, the year is ending very soon. That seems weirder this year than it has before, at least as far as I remember. This year went by so fast and for some reason the thought of us getting closer to 2010 is bizarre. It doesn't really make sense I know, I'm just saying.
Moto Photo is closing at the end of the year too. Now, in all honesty I really hate this job so why would I be at all sad or sentimental about it? I think I'm going to miss the people I work with, though most of the people from this store that I was closest to have all left anyway. And there is also something to be said for comfort, for better or worse I suppose. You can't work somewhere for 4 1/2 years and suddenly stop without feeling some kind of jolt in your schedule, I have needed to leave here for a while for the very same reason though, too comfortable. I know that as long as the store was open I would be working here so I should look at this as a good thing, a new beginning.
With that in mind I have an interview at the Apple Store on Tuesday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed about that. I think it would be a cool place to work plus my friend Luke works there and I would get to hang out with him more. That would be good. I'd love to work there if they can work with my school schedule. There is also the fear of leaving for Christmas (we're leaving next Saturday for Tennessee) and coming back without a job. It would be nice to hear something from Apple before we leave. I think that would make our trip a lot better.
Thinking about the end of the year, I need to start considering contenders for the best albums of 2007. A list will follow shortly.
Good day.

Exams. Grants. Dinosaurs. Christmas.
So I know that some people are already aware of this, but I found out about 2 weeks ago that I did get the grant from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
So what this means is that I will be releasing a 7" in the early part of the summer.
And what that means is that My Brother, The Welder is, hopefully, going to be having a super productive 2008.
There is still talk of Hawks of War (aka Mike Paolone) and My Brother, The Welder doing a split 7" next year too, so potentially I could have two 7"s coming out next year. I think that would most likely warrant a small Mid-Atlantic/Southeast tour, something in the ballpark of one and a half to two weeks in the early fall. Possibly Mike would join me. I suppose I should talk to him about that before I announce it? We'll see how that goes.
I will keep everyone up to date on the progress of the 7".
Aside from that, I have pretty much been in hiding for the past two weeks trying to get this semester over with. I suppose I can't complain about not having enough time to do everything, considering that I blew off finishing my Film and Literature paper yesterday so that I could go ice skating with Chandi. I did finish the paper this morning; all 17 pages of that bastard. So now I just have a few more exams and one smaller paper to write and I'm done. So there.
So school has been pretty much occupying most of my free time, which kind of sucks because I need to be getting ready for the recording for the 7".
Oh, and I need to find a job.
I haven’t had to look for a job in over four years, but Moto Photo is closing at the end of the year so I need to find something else, preferably before then. I did apply for a job with the Smithsonian, at the Natural History Museum, doing scans of old books. It may have been a bit overambitious but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that I will hear from them. I think I could probably get a job at another Moto Photo, but that seems like a last resort at the moment. I'm pretty tired of that place and I think I want to take the opportunity to do something new.
Everything will work out, it always does. The semester will be over soon, I will have a new, hopefully fun, job, and then it will be Christmas, which usually means a lot of fun time off. So there's that.
Good day.
