augh.


we are still working on solid foods. sam is unsure what he thinks. so far he likes banana and prunes, but he wouldn't even eat his banana yesterday (not hungry??). he sometimes eats peas, sometimes not. the prunes and peas are store-bought baby food. peas are the only "veggie" he will even swallow. but we're keeping at it, once a day, and sometimes he has lots of fun with it.

i am in super anxiety mode with my campus visit (aka interview) coming up on tuesday. augh. i am quickly spiraling into a chasm of self-doubt and insecurity. gotta shake it. sometimes i'm really excited about this position. other times i'm indifferent. i would like an excuse to be able to not work and stay home with sam.

sam is awesome.

i realized my drivers license is expired. oops. i have to renew that.

do you realize how much misc. stuff you have to print and have ready for the campus visit? it's ridiculous. poor trees.

still no call from the library. maybe i won't get an in-person interview after all.

the gig at the university is going ok so far. i am really enjoying teaching sculpture and the students seem really enthused about the class and the projects, so that feels great. the coordinating part is a little frustrating because i feel like my role isn't really clear and the guy i'm filling in for is still in contact a fair amount so it's hard for me to know what the hierarchy/labor division stuff is. i guess i should stop worrying about that and just do as much as i can and try to do things the way i think they should be done and people will tell me if i've crossed any lines. right? heck if i know. sorta feel like i'm trying to decide whether i should be a pushover or pushy. guess i should go with pushy. it's probably neither one of those anyway.

sam really is cool.

Sam is definitely cool.

Be respectfully pushy.
