Springs Eternal

My final Amazon textbook just arrived a few days ago.  Now I just have 1 to pick up on campus when I go for Orientation next week.
On the job side, I have an interview in a couple of days so I'm jazzed about that.  If it works out, it will do wonders for me mentally.  Stagnating at home is not good for the writing process.  I need to interact with adults and breathe the questionable city air.  Not that I don't love being with the kids, but there is only so much Veggie Tales I can take before I wanna grab them all and roast them with a big hunk of beef.  The veggies, not the kids (obviously).
I am working on several things at once, as usual.  I am working on a short novel that I hope a romance publisher will be interested in, as well as knocking around thesis ideas, my own personal writing, reading my textbooks and daydreaming of a house with a yard so I can send the kids outside to play in the sunshine (while it lasts).
The news about the interview raised my spirits a lot.  The fact that someone actually thinks I am worth a look beyond my resume is so gratifying after so many months of nothingness or at least, nothing worth talking about.  And the lady I spoke to was so nice that I felt more at ease than I have on other interviews where I felt like I was being cross-examined for not having the ideal 5-10 years of solid work history.  I really have to remember to tell my former employers not to allow their businesses to be pushed down by hurricanes so that I don't look so flaky on my CV.  
If I get this job, not only will I be able to start saving a few bucks every month, I will be able to spring for the long awaited new wardrobe.  I can't remember the last time I bought a pair of sneakers or a pair of dangly earrings.  I've been scrimping so long, I am starved of some of the girly foolishness that women my age typically enjoy.  It would be freakin' awesome to get my girly groove back!  Wish me luck!
