Aaah! Relief! Friday I sent my screenplay in, after much frenetic craziness, and although I started to cry at the post office just thinking that all this work could be tossed out the window if I forgot to dot one i or cross one t. Nerve-wracking, that.
But after a weekend of vegging, watching Sex in the City and eating a bit of junk food, I am now one of the normal ones again.
I feel like my screenplay was good work and that it makes me a very viable candidate for the program. If not, I did my best and I learned a lot and am more ready for next year.
I have a job interview on Thursday. I have a fair chance of getting it as it is basically the same job I do now. The only hope is that by present supervisor doesn’t do me like she’s done so many others and just dog them out in the references.
My one worry is that since the job is similar to what I’m doing now that, if I do get it, it will quickly become as boring as the one I have now. Although it’s a higher classification, I guess I could be a little bored for more money.
There’s another job I really want and I was talking to a friend about it today. He’s going to see if there’s any influence he can exert - he thinks I would do really well there.
Anyway, there’s not much of an update. My mom is coming out on Thursday and staying the weekend. It should be fun. I’m hoping she’s feeling generous and will buy me shoes…. 
Speaking of which I am still broke. I sold some stuff on eBay and made $60 but it hasn’t transferred to my account just yet. Prolly tomorrow. BUT I don’t have gas., so that will be interesting. I’m hoping I have a check in the mail when I get home and that will solve the whole mess.
This is the last month of poverty. Next month I get 3 checks and in September I have a couple of payments due me and on September 10 I go back to full-time. That October paycheck is going to feel like manna from Heaven.
