On reading LJ, why I may not be so focused

[alexmegami]

So my dad just e-mailed me. The TV Writing and Producing department (? or whatever) want me to come in for an interview on the 1st.

As you can imagine, OH MY GOD I AM GOING TO VOMIT STREEEESSSSSSSS.

So - roseneko, I promise I will read the FFIV story; safti, if you post about Mage, I promise I'll comment; but - it may not be until after the first, though I hope not. (If I get my way, it won't be until after the 3rd - Wednesdays are a terrible day for me to miss, class-wise, plus I have a seminar the 2nd.)

Also, OH MY GOD, $7,300 for a year. (I know, not much compared to Americans or mathies, but for little old $4,600/yr + books Arts major me? That's HUGE.) It almost makes me say "Fuck this, I'm taking Radio Broadcasting."

I may be hyperventilating. If you see me and I look like I'm stressing out, uh, I probably am. I would advise not asking me if I'm okay, because that's equal parts likely to get you my stress story of the past 24 hours, cause me to burst into tears, or prematurely end your life as I attack you with the savage fury of wild, man-eating bees.

No, seriously. Man-eating bees.

Hey, no rush on the story. I only have the first chapter up anyway. All the interesting stuff is yet to come. ;)

Good luck with your interview and whatnot. College costs suck, but man-eating bees are awesome. =D

[alexmegami]

Heheh. 'kay.

Thanks. And costs as a whole suck, I think ;)

I'm thinking I'm going to spend my time busting my ass on the synopsis of the last game and offer you a list of links after your interview and stuff. ;) [The third, got it, right before I head to AZ, heh. So you'll have tonnes of time, really. ;)]

NOW. I say this as a friend who, being there, would take further action to ensure this happens: Get some decent sleep. Eat well. Decide on an outfit to wear to the interview that makes you feel impressive, because looking capable is generally half the battle. And don't think about stuff that won't concern you until next year. Stressing about tuition right now will do absolutely nothing whatsoever.

Breathe.

[safti]

And, of course, good luck! :)

[alexmegami]

Thanks. *g* I figure if I don't vomit on the interviewer, it's a good start.

[alexmegami]

Oog, decent sleep has always been an evasive bastard for me, and of course, now he's gotten an adrenaline boost. (I got, tops, 5 hours last night, and that's a kind estimate.) And it's purely the interview; I have the money to pay for tuition, I'd just rather not take the money out of the account it's in, you know?

[safti]

Uff. Would sleepytime tea/some sort of mild sleep aid do anything?

I have the money to pay for tuition

Lucky . . . *wanders off, swearing*

No, I can see that. Still! Don't get bogged down in the little things. *hugs you* It's going to be okay.

[alexmegami]

Maybe. I'd have to look into it. Probably not the tea, though...

Aww. *huggles* It's my inheritance, but as my mom pointed out, since I may be working in a field that doesn't give any/a great pension plan, it might be best to leave that money alone. ^_-;

I'll try. *hugs back* But thanks for the comfort.

[safti]

Fair enough, but don't forget about RRSPs, too. :)

*smiles* I like you lots. You're a wonderful woman, and I hate seeing my friends unhappy.
