Today, I started Fall Semester at the University of Arizona. I am currently a Preceptor for POS-206 (Public Policy and Administration), which was one of my previous classes in Spring Semester. My main duty there will be finding videos relevant to the class--my first one will have to do with "Culture". My second class, POL/COMM 410 (Struggle for the Presidency), deals largely with Presidential campaigning from 1960 onwards. We will discuss the various strategies employed and watch movies related to this, among other things. Once a week, we are to write a 700-1200 word essay on each movie or a relevant topic.
As such, I'm sure I'll be pretty busy. I understand that I don't really blog a whole lot, and my Rosethorn story is afflicted by writers' block in regards to my current chapter (please help if you can...), but my schoolwork/preceptorship is my primary focus. Struggle for the Presidency will be over on November 1st (just in time for Election Day!), so I may be able to find time to post at that point. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure that this blog will be dead between that time.
Speaking of lack of updates... Last week, I went in for a group interview for Cactus Grill--one of the restaurants at the Student Union. Considering my previous lack of success in the job market save for being a Waver/Mascot for Liberty Tax Service, this was excellent news. Everything looked great as far as my chances there were concerned, but there was a scheduling conflict. They'll let anyone else that's hiring there know that I'm available, but that's the only real good news about it. Still, at least I have my foot in the door. So, if anyone in Tucson knows of anyone that's hiring (preferably on the East Side on a bus route or near the University of Arizona) let me know. Other than that, the only thing that's really going on is that I've been working on a script for a Thanksgiving play at Grace to the Nations (see "Jesus is Coming" for an idea about how long it'll be). It's not finished yet, and if it's anything like that script, it'll be different than how I first planned it, but I will post it once it's completed.
