It makes me look smart
I just watched the Gilmore Girls season premiere! Hahahaha to all you suckers who are 2 hours behind and can't see it for another hour! Of course, that logic falls flat if you have cable in Calgary, since the channel that shows it in New York is the same in Calgary, thanks to the wonders of cable. Anyways. My little gloat for the moment. (P.S. If you actually care about that paragraph, you might enjoy this. It was pretty easy, but trivia is always entertaining!)Yesterday, I think I had the first productive day since I got here. I finally got my bank account set up, I copied my resumes, and I spent the afternoon resume-dropping. Hopefully something will come through--I applied all up and down the Upper East Side, and hopefully that'll pay off before long. :o) I'm going to need a job soon, or else my days will be interminably long! I'm sure I'll find something, though. I'm hoping to start hearing back by the end of the week. If not, I'll just keep applying. It's not like there isn't a Starbucks on every corner, and I'm sure one of them will hire me eventually!
As soon as my banking stuff comes in the mail, I'll actually have a proof of address, and I can get a library card, which means I'll be able to stop buying cheap paperbacks so I have something to read on the subway! Fortunately, Target sells bestselling trade paperbacks at $5.99, so it's not quite like I'm breaking the bank, but still, some variety in my literary diet will be nice!
Speaking of the library... I went to the NYPL Central library today.
Now that, my friends, that is a library. A research library. And it only houses the humanities collection. And can I say that I was duly impressed by the 2-block long reading room. Seriously. I think I might have to start working on my business plan stuff there, just because the very aura of the room screams (can an aura scream?) intelligent and successful and cultured. Who cares if I'm actually researching anything from this research facility... it's all about soaking in the atmosphere, right?!
See what I mean? Heh.
Anyways. Not like I could ever borrow from there (no one can--that's why it's a research library), but I can always take advantage of the beautiful space! :o) Plus, if I ever want any "humanities" information, well, there it is. One of these days, I'll have to check out the performing arts library. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow. We'll see... depends on how many more miles I hike whilst handing out resumes.
Oy. This whole "getting up at 6" thing is going to take some getting used to! I haven't had to get up that early on a regular basis since I was in high school--and I don't even think I did it consistently then! I'm used to getting my 8 hours of sleep by going to bed by 1, and getting up by 9, but I don't think a 1:00 a.m. bedtime is quite going to cut it these days. I'll have to hit the hay by 11, which, for me, is pretty early! Oh well--I'll adjust. Somehow! :o)
