WHEE, contracts.
Still a V.I.P. at work (at least as much as one with the title "Marketing Department Assistant" can be), so busy and working with the CEO, CFO, department heads on various stuffs.
This makes me feel a leeeettle bit better about my work here, but not enough to keep me from considering grad school seriously once again. That one course grade snafu has been a pain in my arse since I graduated, and my prof is "on leave" for at least this semester, BUT. I want to get that damn thing resolved so it stops getting in the way of me doing anything that involves people reviewing my transcript. It's the #2 reason I skipped out on applying to grad schools in this past cycle, #1 being that I hated life and all living things last year and wanted nothing to do with people.
So, the next ~8 months are devoted to RESEARCH and studying for exams (GRE and GRE Lit, good times) and pestering old profs for letters of recommendation and polishing my writing sample and writing about how I'm a super special awesome person who deserves to be paid to study at Your University.
I'm actually really looking forward to it. Scholarship lends me a sense of satisfaction that I've never been able to find in any job I've held. It's ironic that I would find meaning in the most meaningless thing I can possible imagine getting paid to do -- even my current job functions are a means to a productive and profitable end -- but it's fitting. English major, yo.
