Monday Morning

A picture I took of the beach in Nassau, The Bahamas in March.

A picture I took of the Tufts campus- also in March.

Ridiculousity for your enjoyment: Today in my office, we have a big space heater blasting. To combat the AC, which doesn't seem to shut off even though it's 55 degrees outside. People are making jokes about taking turns "sitting by the fire." Hello, June!

Aside from the temperature situation, all is well on this Monday morning...at eleven I had a meeting with my loan repayment counselor Judi, who is super helpful. There are just so many things to figure out and it's all new and I want to make sure I am over-informed so nothing slips through the cracks, because it is becoming more and more apparent to me that these student loan lenders have no interest in making the process user friendly. But no worries! I am up for the challenge, and Judi will be very helpful to me, I am sure.

Other than that, just transcribing, transcribing all day...I ordered some new headphones from Amazon (with Amazon credit I got from selling back some books before moving...yay!) which I hope will alleviate some ear cartilage soreness I have after wearing headphones all day.

I'm thinking about auditioning for the Harvard Summer School Orchestra. Auditions are in a little over a week. It would be awesome to get to rehearse and perform in Harvard's beautiful Saunder's Theater (it's been in a bunch of movies, and is also the lecture hall that they use for that professor's class that is online / on TV...something about Justice). Anyway, thought it might be a good opportunity to play with other people and keep it up over the summer. More on that later!

Yesterday, I had an interview with the manager at Suneri, a local clothing boutique. They are actually really an interesting business and support up-and-coming designers as well as have an in-house designer / tailor who makes a line especially for the store. I am thinking about doing some work with them for some extra money and to stay involved in this area of interest. Probably only a few short evening shifts and other times I would work remotely. Not sure what exactly I will be doing yet, but it seems that there could be a lot of different options. Again, more updates on that when I hear back from them.

Have a good Monday!
