And Blogging Is Half The Battle!

Sorry, the blog has gotten the cold shoulder since I reached the one-week-away mark for leaving. I'm arriving in Los Angeles in about five days, which is seriously spooking me out. Somehow, it's a lot scarier when you're not going there for one semester, as a student, with the college structuring your experience. Now it's like, "I could die out there..."

My mom just came upstairs with four packets of homeless shelter information for me to store away, in case I "ever need it." That's super freakin comforting.

Otherwise, I'm wrapping up the last transcription assignments I've got for Cornell business professor Tony Simons, who's last book I worked on ("The Integrity Dividend") is still garnering attention out on the market. His next book (and these interviews) will focus more on behavioral integrity in the context of this economic downturn and how the recession may affect the morality of business leaders trying to get ahead. No word on when he plans to complete it or get it out on shelves.

I also woke up distraught three mornings in a row now, and I don't think it's because I'm moving to LA (although maybe that's affecting my dreams...) Three mornings ago, I snapped awake convinced that not only was I working for a volunteer global warming activist group, but that an old beastly woman working there had tried to molest me. Yesterday morning, I woke up believing I had caused a traffic pile-up and was trapped in a seedy apartment building (probably the kind I'll be living in when I get to California). And this morning, I was awoken by my alarm in the middle of a twisted dream where I was competing with a faceless figure for who could take more abuse to the groin. Yeah, seriously, that's what my dreams have come to: getting hit in the crotch over and over.

I gotta get out of here.
