ermingardenIt's official: Job interviews are some of my least favorite things in the entire world. I'm trying to find a summer internship, and it's so stressful.
At least there are a bunch of great fannish things happening right now:
(1) The ever-amazingindependence1776 started a Jedi-focused DW comm, ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
elphrona_outpost. I am so excited!!! Time to finish up that meta I've been thinking about….
(2)maythe4thbewithyou nominations are open, which is nuts - hard to believe it's been a year already! I'm really looking forward to this year's exchange.
(3)rthstewart's Three Sentence Ficathon is running: Part 1, Part 2. I've posted one fill so far, for the prompt "mistaking the cosplayer for the real thing," and I'm working on a couple more right now.
Finally: Lent started on Wednesday, and even though my relationship with Catholicism (and Christianity generally) is...complicated, I decided to do a Lenten penance. I'm giving up Facebook, Instagram, and - the only one relevant to people here - Tumblr, and trying to focus my energy on offline life and on places like DW where I'm actively creating and engaging with other people rather than endlessly scrolling. So I won't be reachable via Tumblr until Easter.
ETA: Not five minutes after I posted this, I got an email from a professor I interviewed with yesterday for a part-time summer research assistantship - she's hiring me! Her research is on corporate crime and enforcement, and I hope to work in white-collar prosecution after graduation, so it's perfect! And I already know her because I'm in her reading group, so I'm confident she'll be a good boss. I do still need to get an internship, but this is great news.

I hope the penace works out for you. (Okay, that's a terrible way to say that. I hope you get the gist of what I meant.)
