This year's car saga continues.

And, for all practical purposes, comes to an end.  I got a call back from Tom today, and he gave me the bad news.  My window that doesn't roll up (and therefore, you know, requires fixing) will cost 230 to fix, since the broken bit is an integral part of a much larger assembly.  The AC system -- vast swaths of which must be replaced, apparently, once you get air into the system, which will be unavoidable with a compressor replacement -- is looking to be about 925.  I just don't have 1145 lying around, waiting to be used, so the AC will just have to wait.  Sigh.  Poor little Coche.

That blows.

At least the fall is steadily approaching. As are our deadlines. AAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Ah. I feel better now. Sorry about poor Coche.

In other news, do you worry at all that the GAA thing will overburden you this fall, as you begin teaching for the first time? I worry about this, and I was curious to know your thoughts on the matter.

Sure I do. But... I kinda feel like it's a good opportunity, and I can hack it. *shrug* Maybe I'm wrong. But I really have no way of knowing, so I just have to go with my gut.

Heh. Kevin asked me the same question last night.

Six people have asked me this question. I wasn't worried about it until so many people started doubting my ability to hack it.

[yrmencyn.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha! Well, people will ask. It's in the nature of people.

I feel that they are doing more than asking. I feel that they are doubting.

We shall rename them all Thomas and shoo them away.

I also have my exams in the spring, so I am trying to weigh everything before I apply. I don't want to apply unless I am free of doubt.

The good news is that while working on my personal statement, I came up with the intro to my PhD personal statement, instead.

Well at least there's that to be thankful for :)

[lit-girl.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's very exciting, actually.

Thanks again for hosting Operation Cluster F*ck. I have your 5 bucks. You want it in hand, or in mailbox?

[yrmencyn.livejournal.com]

Whatever seems easiest. I'll be on campus Wednesday afternoon.

[lit-girl.livejournal.com]

You going to the meeting?

[yrmencyn.livejournal.com]

meeeeeeeeting. meeting?

[lit-girl.livejournal.com]

About the new curriculum for 110?

[yrmencyn.livejournal.com]

Aaah... I appear to have missed, or misfiled, an email.

[lit-girl.livejournal.com]

Or I am wrong about the date. It's not mandatory, anyhow. I just like to arm myself with information, so I feel less freaked out. I hate going into something with NO information.

I'll find the email and forward it to you.

[yrmencyn.livejournal.com]

AAAAAAH. That. No, I'm not going to that, since we'll be gettign the bigger version of it in pre-quarter anyway.
