where is everyone?
Jul. 30th, 2009 09:08 amI hope everyone is out having fun somewhere. I was hoping to go to the Vampire Weekend concert this friday, but I don't think I'll be able to. Ah well.
DC was a good time. Lots of little silly things that happened to us that I'll likely forget over time. This probably means I should start writing all these little things down in a personal journal.
I still can't bring myself to write a writing sample, however. I don't know what to say when it's for a job. I can't use any of my academic papers, because they make no sense to non-linguists. I started one about my grandmothers, and how grateful I am to them because if they weren't around I would have never learned Greek well enough to be bilingual in the way that I am. Still not super native, but I could be if I really kept studying words and reading books and stuff.
So, just keeping on doing what my dad keeps telling me to, I keep plugging there. Hoping for the best.
