This is what happens when I go job hunting.

I come home with an obscene amount of books.

I realize that this is fairly tangential from the intended subject matter of my blog, but nevertheless: today I found out that the maximum number of books you can take out from the local library at once is 35.

(I only have seven library books out but that's going crazy since it's me we're talking about. I just had to ask at the counter to make sure I was safe - turns out some people read a LOT. And I've always been slightly envious. It's not that I'm lacking interest, because I'm interested in quite a lot of things, as my selection above probably tells you. I just really don't have the attention span required to be a "reader.")

But man it feels good to check out a pile of books.

Also I applied for another job today. Cross your fingers...


EDIT: I am now immersed in "Arabic: At A Glance" and it is kicking my butt so far. My goal for this week (other than to acquire gainful employment) is to demystify this language, at the very least. I have done some lessons on Rosetta Stone already, but I am still pretty lost, and I think repetition and writing things down will help me immensely.
