the future and other experiments
Jan. 22nd, 2004 12:59 pmLess depressed today, which is good.
I tried making mango lassi, and decided it's probably better with actual mango as opposed to canned mango nectar, but of course Kent has no idea what a mango is. At least now I know my blender works, at least for that sort of thing. I don't tend to do much by way of food processing in the blender. I make milkshakes and lassi and such in it, and I suppose I could make gazpacho in it in the summer.
Last night I got talking with the head of the translation program, with whom I also have Literary & Cultural Translation this semester, and she thinks I should definitely apply for an assistantship for next year, regardless of whether they want two-year commitments or not. If they do want a two-year commitment, I wonder what I could do with it? It would be a good way to take classes on KSU's dime, but I don't have a clue what I would take. One year isn't long enough to get another degree, and I don't think I want one anyway. That's all contingent on getting the bloody assistantship in the first place, of course.
I should go to the Registrar's office and pick up the Schedule of Classes for this semester. It helps when I get a modeling job; I can look up the time and find out what level the class is at, since they don't tell me when they call me and offer me work. They tell me who and when it's for, but not what class. It's a matter of curiosity on my part more than anything else; I've never had a problem with any class I've worked for. I suspect they warn the Drawing I classes off before I get there about not talking to me. They're not supposed to, and it's easier for me when they don't. I suppose it's a form of turning myself into an object rather than a person, but in this case, that's fine with me.
I've got reading to do, so I suppose I should go do that before anything else.
