My goal for now

Right now I'm just trying to get Iru to 50. She's been 49 since 2002, it's high time she hit 50 now....*sigh*. I'm trying keep up a steady 2%(one hour or so) a day minimum, but as I am trying hard to excel in school, and I try to spend as much time as I can with my girlfriend, I don't always have the time to try and meet that goal(Priorities, mate, priorities).

Having been out of school for a bit, I'm having some trouble adjusting to focusing on learning for a long period of time. All these articles are so boring to read.....although some are really interesting and just grab my attention, those are rare cases. Also, grad school loads are definitely more than I used to deal with in undergrad, and it's taking up a lot more time than I thought just to get through the reading. I thought I'd be using maybe 3,4 hours a day max...how naive of me.

I'm actually trying to get a part time job, preferably inside the school, but there's so many people competing for so few jobs that I don't know what the chances are of me getting one. I may have to look outside the school. There's actually a day care center in my apartment building, and I love working with children, but they said they already have all the help they need. Grrr! I've worked at Barnes and Noble before so I thought this one might take me, but they also have more than they need....so encouraging. The pharmacies also are overloaded with techs, and they don't use cashiers. I'm running out of options >__< I may have to resort to posting ads saying I'll teach GRE English and Math...but I doubt anyone will need it.

Sooooo.....that's where I am at now. Wish me luck in everything!

P.S By the way, anyone live in/near NY? I live near Columbia Univ. Let's hang out~
