I got paid from my second freelance editing job today. I also heard today from the director of graduate studies in the department for which I applied that I have officially been accepted for next fall! No news yet on the assistantship to pay for it, but my internship professor implied that I probably don't have to worry. Following this, a friend told me about a temporary part-time position available this summer and I wrote a cover letter, filled out the application, and applied. I also have a tutoring job lined up for a few weeks in July and August and will meet with the director to find out the details this Friday, April 30.

I got my other honor cords today for my membership in a Communication Studies honor society. These cords are red and white, so I will have red, white, and gold cords at graduation with a black cap and gown. Interesting.

I received an email from my internship editor today saying "It's been a while since I've seen from you. I hope that everything is okay." Everything is okay, just busy. Paid work and schoolwork have taken priority over my internship. However, I am getting back on track. Only a few weeks left. I bought my cap, gown, and gold honor cord today.

In my email today was a standard rejection letter about the Executive Administrative Assistant job I applied for a little while back. I can't say I'm disappointed that I didn't get the job because I'm not.

Today I had a feedback session scheduled online through a chat program with the editor of my online internship. I was a little worried about how it would go since I haven't written many articles in the last few weeks, but he didn't even mention that. Instead, he gave me helpful advice and constructive criticism that I feel will be very useful, especially when writing online.

I turned in my graduate school application today. It consisted of: three faculty recommendations, one graduate school admission application, a two-page letter of intent, my resume, a cover letter directed towards the graduate director of the English department, a six-page writing sample, a graduate assistantship application, and a thirty-five dollar fee. From start to finish: less than twenty-six hours.

I decided to apply for graduate school in the English department at my current university. Four people in the last three days have mentioned that I should be going to graduate school and perhaps they've finally convinced me. Perhaps I have put up too many 'roadblocks' to my success and am only limiting myself. At any rate, the first meeting about assistantships is tomorrow, so I must get my materials in quickly.

I got my first "real" freelancing job today. It is for a Criminal Justice graduate student currently deployed overseas who needs his 133 page graduate practicum review edited and has to be done within two days or so. Time to get editing.

I applied for an executive administrative assistant position at a staffing company down in the Twin Cities. I didn't include a cover letter and probably should have, but I don't really want the job that bad. It's a ninety minute drive each way and doesn't really utilize the skills I have.
