Wait.. Did We Really Fight Mexico in WWI?

I suppose the above statement could be categorized as "Things Annie Tried to Say." I promise, I am not that pathetically obtuse.. it was more of a "Things Annie Should Have Thought About Before Speaking Aloud" moments.

In any case, with the semester winding down much faster than I expected, I am in full job search mode. Finding a co-op would be so much easier if I didn't have the one stipulation of GETTING PAID. Were I to put aside my financial discrepencies and once again work over 40 hours a week for free, I am sure I would have a job by now. But realistically speaking, I simply cannot live anywhere but at my parent's house were I to rely solely on what is, or isn't (for that matter) in my bank account.

I did have a phone interview today, which, let me tell you, is the only way to interview. Not only do I not have to worry about how professional to look in order to make a respectable first impression, but I was able to a) do my laundry and b) clean my bathroom at the same time. Three cheers for multitasking.

And yes, I literally cleaned my bathroom. Not just moved all the dirty clothes from their permanent pile near the shower, but actually bleached all bathroom surfaces. And it is surprisingly rewarding. I'm becoming progressively more domestic - I wish I could have taken a picture of the utter disaster that was my apt last year and compare it to the significantly less embarrassing state of my current one. It is a comparison worthy of a before-and-after infomercial... I should invent some bizarre organizational tool just so that I can share this transformation with the world.

Should I take it as a sign of my increasing middle-agedness that I enjoyed cleaning my bathroom? Along with taking walks with Jess, watching meteor showers (or lack there of) in the quad, and playing the USAToday crossword puzzle (not to be redundant) daily? Maybe. But if being prematurely middle-aged means I can dance to John Mellenkamp in a hall worthy of your local VFW with minimal movement and consider it one of the most entertaining nights of the year, then bring it on, baby.
