Interesting

[From yesterday]

Thing one: I got my hair cut!

Finally!

It's so short that it doesn't even touch my shoulders. It also looks better with my hats than my long hair did. Go me!

Thing two: I got a summer job!

The cultural center on the island has a student grant, or something, and someone called me to see if I wanted an interview.

I went for the interview yesterday at 9:00am (dies) and they called me yesterday afternoon to tell me I was hired.

Today is my first day.

I had to wake up at 7:00am! In July! My summer vacation! (dies again)

(I don't know what time this is gonna be posted, but I'm writing this on paper at 9:49am.)(In July.)(My summer vacation.)(oi.)

My job here is to work reception and the arts and crafts boutique.

Yeah, somehow I got a job answering phones and greeting people.

... if nothing else, this should be interesting.

[From today]

Day two at the desk. Whoo. Just finished my lunch hour 15 minutes ago.

I have come to the conclusion that this job isn't so bad (even though I have to answer phones and greet people and have almost no free time). I kind of like hanging out at the desk.

I'm there by myself for one thing, and it also reminds me of school. All French and structured schedules and all that. So it's nice.

It's still hard to believe that I actually got a job. It gives me something to do besides being on the computer at home all day, even though there's a computer here for me to play with.

Also, my laptop seems to have a problem. I don't know why, but when I turn it on and log in, it'll run fine for a random amount of time, then everything will just stop working and then it'll freeze up.

I have absolutely no idea what that is all about, but it's rather annoying.
