miscellany (my favorite word)

I sat in with the Hidden Valley Middle School band concert tonight, which was fun and brief (the best kind of middle school concert). It was nice of Jeff to say that I was applying and had hopes of going to graduate school, even though he knows that whole deal has gone up in flames. I guess he wasn't sure what else to say about me, since I have no major accomplishments in the music world thus far.

In a strange twist of fate, I have been waitlisted at McGill. However, their letter says they will notify me of changes in "late spring." I think they'd better get on that. Only 20 days left. Too bad I won't be going, or something. I fail to care anymore.

I was not scheduled at all to lifeguard at Frogs for the next two weeks, a fact that has me rather angry and confused. It seems the leadership there would like to play games with the staff, lecturing us about responsibility and work ethic yet failing to keep their own standards high. Also, they are never at the pool. I failed to find Jamie today when I went to teach, and Will could do nothing to help me. I am confident this scheduling error is a misunderstanding (after all, I have been in and out of the area lately), but it comes on the heels of my being left off the staff phone list (because it was a summer list, and they thought I was leaving in June, not July). I'll hold my breath though, for a while, because they've got a long way to go before they get as bad as Rick the Dick.

Bathing suits are expensive, but thankfully HCW is on the ball enough to buy them for us (another beef with Frogs). I invested in this swim/surfing shirt thingy because I am tired of the beach entry at Frogs tearing my suits to shit and giving me the baggy boob effect.

It's summertime in southern California, which means I have dusted off my Sublime CDs. What kind of music do you listen to the most in summer?
