Did not get Marketing Assistant job.
Cannot cry about it because I am in the basement of the library. Also, I need to finish this paper for class.
Good thing I have an interview at a temp agency tomorrow.
Still hate my waitressing job. Called out last two days to do homework/meet with professors. Might get drunk tonight and call out tomorrow as well.

I believe what separates humanity from everything else in the world - spaghetti, binder paper, deep-sea creatures, edelweiss and Mount...

Currently obsessed with: the poetry of Paul Celan (born Paul Antschel). This poem might possibly be my favorite of his. John Felstiner’s translation:

Mmm...Clothes.
I wish I could express how comfortable and cool I (think I) look today. Dark blue skinny jeans, a simple white tee, my really old, really slouchy deep-V brown sweater, and brown mocs.
