so i was horrific at replying to your responses to my last journal... i'm sorry..
so i think that the interview went ok.. not wonderfully, but ok. the people interviewing me didn't really know much about doing it. and they harped a lot on the fact that i'm overqualified for the job. one of the office assistants has a law degree, ans she is apparently constantly frustrated with the fact that she's not practicing. they didn't want me to be that frustrated. i was supposed to hear back from them today, but i didn't. which means a) that they contacted the person that they hired today, and didn't have time to contact the rejects or b) they were busy today with other things or checking references, so i still have a chance. so i feel less confident than i did yesterday morning, but still, maybe! and i forget if i told you, but i applied for a job at my school's library - which would be even better. around books ALL day. yay yay yay!!
if you haven't figured out, i love talking about the sky. right now it's the color that occurrs just beneath the eyes of someone very, very tired. city lights do such interesting things to the sky's color. it's predictable in the country - always black or blueblack and full of stars, or dark-grey overcast. here, sometimes it's pink, sometimes it's yellowish, sometimes it's white with clouds.
how are you?

I found out about Ignatieff from a Iraq war debate on cable TV. He was arguing in favor of invading Iraq to help the Kurdish people. In this book, I learned a lot about the Kurds from his trek through Kurdish areas in Iraq and Turkey. (I personally don't think they were helped by the Iraq war, but anyway...Ignatieff is not usually a war-hawk, btw). I've also read the chapters in the book on French-Canadian nationalism (Ignatieff grew up in Canada) and various groups in Ukraine (Ignatieff had Russian roots and went to see caretakers of his ancestors' land there).
Also, I'm currently reading The Brothers Karamazov.
