Really Procrastinating
Sep. 24th, 2007 10:45 pmI came home with a suitcase full of books and intent to write an entire essay.
I have read few of them, and written not even all of a plan.
I have a job interview tomorrow, for Christmas retail work. Good timing, since I happened to be here. However, I didn't know until i was on the train on the way up. So I have no Interview Clothes and only electronic copies of my resume. I did get a haircut today and will raid my mother's makeup collection and do my best to look spiffy in jeans.
Then straight after said interview i drive into town to get on a train back to Sydney, in order to be there for the start of the AEMA conference. I was going to skip wednesday morning, but turns out someone is talking about Innocent III at 9.30. Can't be missing a talk about my favourite Papal crush.
I'm looking forward to thursday's Plenary- Antonina Harbus on OE translations of Latin Texts. Probably just as well I haven't finalised my essay for David, really.
I was hoping that I'd be able to attach myself to my favourite teacher's metaphorical apron strings and have my introduction to academic networking smoothed over in that way... But she's not going to be there until Friday. So it's time to test out everything the Principal of Women's College has failed to teach me about networking over the last three years. Said teacher did, however, give me advice on ways to approach academics generally and Antonina in particular. Apparently if you ask academics to direct you to some readings on a topic, they just tell you what they think. And then you can cite it in essays!
