it’s a nice sunny day out today. still sorta chilly, but suede coat weather instead of down filled coat. yay. adolescent psych was kinda funny because we got to be mean and list all the cliques that exist in high school. everyone was being so politically correct at first, and naming like the jocks, and the populars, and the smart kids…but then this girl was like um..band people, not band GEEKS but like band people. lol so there were lots of “people” instead of geeks. and then it got less PC, when we named the Sluts LOL. and the ethnics LOL. but then we had to work in groups, so i ended up talking to this girl who has been in a few of my classes who has the same big silver bracelet that i do. she always seemed cool, and she was nice. so that was cool. she bleaches her hair, so i might ask her how she does it LOL. depends if i end up sitting near her again, since some girl always takes my seat and i have to find somewhere else open. she doesn’t follow the classroom norm of no assigned seating but everyone still sits in the same seats every class. blah on her.

anyway. spent an hour in the computer lab doing my comp art project. had no clue what i was supposed to do. he said make a form. so um..wtf is that? the examples he had to show us were like chore charts…so that’s what i did. a chore chart. it’s stupid but whatever it’s done. and i printed out my calendar which turned out to be in way brighter colors than i thought. but whatever.

gotta go meet with dr schneider at 4. i emailed her about what a curriculum vitae was, since i didn’t know. she volunteered to help me make one. i guess it’s like an academic resume. the job at UofR says i can send one, but it doesn’t matter if i have one or not because they will help me make one if i get the job. but i figure if it’s something i can do now, might as well start.

and now i’m also going to apply for a job in colorado (boulder). it’s another kind of research assistant job. it’s a research lab director position for 2 years, same pay, same benefits. it’s doing cognitive neuropsych tho…which is less interesting to me (although the same sort of thing as the UofR one probably). not too sure what the cost of living in Boulder is compared to Rochester, to know if i’d be able to support myself on that pay rate in Colorado. Pretty sure I could in Rochester. And i probably wouldn’t get the Boulder one because i don’t meet all the “requirements”….they want experience with children and cognitive developement. which i don’t have. but i have the research experience and the management experience they ask for. so i figure it can’t hurt to apply there too once i get my resume and this vitae thing done.
