Summer Plans (part x)

Well, at July 10, summer is, by some standards more than half over. And here I am, still pondering "plans". As you may know from my last entry, the job that I was satisfied with (while hardly enthusiastic), has been delayed by three weeks. As such, my late August plans were destroyed, while I had three more weeks of- well not much to do.

I previously mentioned being offered a part time job on campus during the school year- this would be working with the McGill copy services. While I was originally hesitant (as I didn'T want to overload myself in my ever so important last year), having not worked all summer, I decided I really could use the money. Well, last week I went to "interview" for that job, and I was offered full-time summer work with the McGill copy services. It's 9-5, which is what i wanted, it doesn't involve working at a call centre, and it actually pays more. Great, right? Well the only rub is that it doesn't actually start until July 28, and then will only last for 3 or 4 weeks. Well- it's better than nothing. I decided to take this job, becuase I don't actually know if the call center place will ever call back again, given the chicanery they pulled last time.

This leaves with me just over 2 weeks free now, and potentially 2 weeks free in late August. I was for a long time considering using one of those free weeks in July to go to Louisiana, but I'm currently leaning against it because it will be a pretty tight fit. In the mean time, I have been studying reasonably hard for the GRE. Depending on what date this job finishes (which like everything else is unpredictable), I may still be able to fit in that trip to Louisiana.... but this remains very much in the air.
