I've been working part time since May '09, though I haven't had work since early '10 (yay temp agency), so I've had a lot of space to write. Which, yay? But also no income, which sucks.

I have very weird feelings around mentors, probably because of my mother. I've apparently always thought that I had to figure everything out on my own, rather than ask advice (probably because my mom had no advice to give a geeky extrovert who wanted to learn stuff, and I never saw the point of my guidance counselor in high school).

It's too late for me to get everything together for this year, so I have time to figure out what I want to do, whether that's language or literature (or, if possible, both), and organize all my application materials, including a CV (ack).
