Housing! Also: Imrama are not cruises.

In the metaphor of imrama, f I wanted to know where I was going, I could have taken a cruise. Cruises are (here I'm relying on the wisdom of others, having never been on one myself) kind of boring. After you've seen all there is to see on the ship, you're stuck on it until you get where you're going.

The extreme alternative of the imram-goer is not boring in the least. But sometimes you'd rather not know exactly how much wood is keeping you from floating directly on the water. By calling this blog what I did, I either anticipated or asked for the extra trouble inherent in imrama. And I'm working on remembering that more often and worrying less often.

That's my mini-reflection for the day.

I'm getting more job applications on the van run today. The way I figure it, I need to find something between now and June 1st. But the date is a little arbitrary and I wouldn't be surprised if I hit rock-bottom on June 1st only to get three job offers on June 2nd.

On the definite upside, I have acquired somewhere to live, at least for a month. I saw Prof W, meant to talk to him about housing possibilities over the summer, but as he was sprinting towards his car as though his life depended on it, I thought I might as well find/call him later. 

My Aunt L, the black sheep of the family, called me today. I filled her in on all of the details. She was kind of blown away by it all, but she says I'm tough and I'll manage. I'm amazed at how confident some people are about my confidence!:) They're more confident than me sometimes!

Anyway, she says she feels very bad for me and that she doesn't want to interfere in family business. I don't blame her, and I don't want to make things worse between my mom and her. She does want my address so she can send me food- she's afraid I'll starve! I have no intention of starving. But it has been proven that you can live on almost nothing but ramen!:)

In other news, I'm helping a friend proof a script. Between that, applying for jobs, trying to learn Hungarian, and watching anime, I can almost fill up my time. At this point, money aside, I need something to do so I don't die of boredom!

In slightly random news, my two most often used keywords are 'determination' and 'summer plans', for a total of 9 times each. The runner up is 'family issues'.

At some point in time, I will figure out how to fix comments for my blog. I was pretty sure I'd enabled 'all' and 'liveID' whatever that is, but maybe I forgot to...

And I have a new word 'bizalom'.
