being a grad student is super fun.

so i'm back in the job hunt.

i need a part time job to keep me busy/motivated. i'm taking 6 hours in school this semester and it will keep me busy, but i need to keep myself motivated in the job department because next semester i'll be taking the same amount of hours AND teaching full time. i need to start training myself for that.

in other news, i have no other news.

oh yeah, and on a side note, it's amazing how resilient human beings are. we can go through so much and still be happy people. i LOVE that.

oh the joys of being a libra.

so i'm at barnes and noble and i'm reading a book called sex signs. it's an astrology book about how different signs deal with relationships. each chapter begins by listing characteristics of that certain sign. here's how mine looked:
seductive, sensual, attractive, self-indulgent, artistic, sophisticated, ...melancholic, ...indecisive, ...multiple relationships, ...narcissistic...

does anyone see the slow progression of from great to worse? and let me just say that everything this book said about me was absolutely spot on.

number one on the list of characterizations is that i have an intense personality that is especially preoccupied with all aspects of human relationships. does anyone see a trend in my recent posts? multiple relationships,...preoccupation with relationships...

it also says things about me being more comfortable with rationality than emotions. but later it says that once i'm happily settled nobody can make a man happier than i can. duh, knew that one.

and it says that once a libra has made up her mind about monogamy (to be or not to be, that is the question) she will stick with this decision for life. in case you were wondering, my answer is to be. but i guess that also depends on how you define monogamy.

i like webster's third definition: the practice of having a single mate at one time.

i agree with that webster.

anyway, that's my post for today. i don't know when i became so fascinated by astrology but i did. it makes me happy to learn things about myself that i was once oblivious to.

everytime you shine, i'll shine for you

i want the song "jump then fall" by taylor swift to be my theme song for the year. for someone who doesn't really like county, i absolutely adore this song.
