Antsy

So Saramago was a bust and now I'm reading the most recent Sue Grafton novel which I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy but I still itch for something new and strange. When nervous I surround myself with books which I suppose is better than surrounding myself with chocolates. I have an MLS, now what? I have a one day a week internship at a great place but can I turn that into something useful? I need a real job but do I have any skills? I'm mean, I have skills, I'm awesome but will anyone give me the chance to prove it? I have little real experience.
I've been reading travel books; Hungary, Japan, France, Sweden, Iceland, Bali. I want to go somewhere; I want to take pictures. I'm bored. And I have to buy shoes for my sister's wedding.

In Which I Am Only Marginally Successful at Avoiding Work


I have a fifteen to twenty page paper due Tuesday. I'm seriously considering taking the day off from work to work on it as well. I can't seem to get my thoughts in order on it. I have, however, discovered that I write better when I write everything out long-hand and then type it. There are too many distractions when I'm at the computer and I can't type very fast. I did manage a little today in between reading The Hound of the Baskervilles.
I need something interesting to watch on TV. I go to Hulu and watch old, canceled TV shows and then feel somewhat restless when there are no more episodes. I have far too many things I want to read. I can't seem to get my mind to slow down long enough to actually accomplish anything. I'm bored. I don't want to wait another year to be finished with school, I want to be out now. I want my own apartment. I don't mind living with my parents but I need to create my own space, one where I'm an adult. I want to eat meals when I want and not have to be quiet when I'm up late and wander around the place without any pants on. There really aren't many jobs out there though.
I'm still trying my hand at amatuer photgraphy though I have less time at the moment.
