Good morning!

I'm only going to say one thing about the job thing, and that is that I emailed my translating professor last night to ask how to 'get my foot in the door'. She's been doing freelance translating for 20 years and she likes me, so she should be able to help me at least a little, to see if that might be an option for me... Oh yeah, and a second thing: that Mom is right and taking a year off to work before I start grad school is a Very Good Idea. :)

Not much on the agenda for today - class at 13.00 and going to the grocery store. Oh, and I have to find somewhere to print my paper for translation - it's that piece I did on Renate Dorrestein. I really enjoyed it, but when I went to print it out last night, I discovered that our printer cartridge is almost empty. Maybe they'll let me do it in the office...

Rest of the week: Martin's coming over tomorrow night, and then I'll be in Emmen for the weekend - the twins' and my Saturday trip to the travel agency has once again been called off, for multiple reasons, but namely because Alette doesn't know yet exactly when her vacation is. Anyway, so then Monday I have to register online for my UF classes - the Internet better not die on me! - and then that night I'm having dinner with Pauline and Anna. I haven't seen either of them in an incredibly long time, so that's exciting. :)

17 days till Spain!
