Essay on Why You Should Hire Me For This Fabulous Fellowship Where I'd Get To Make Masks All Day
Gift fic for Acid and two collabs which my collaborators have been patiently not nagging me about, thank all three of you very much.

When I went to URT/As (theatre folk and artists might appreciate this tip, URT/A-bound or not) I made up one-page resumes like everyone did, for all the recruiters to take at their leisure. In addition, however, I made up "mini portfolios" which consisted of a half-page sheet with my name, contact information, and several thumbnails of my work on it. I stapled these to my resumes so that even when they didn't have my portfolio there for reference, they had some photographs to remind them of what my work looked like.

I've done the same for the conference this time around, although now of course the thumbnails are of study guides I've done and newspaper articles I've written. Several grad-school recruiters told me that the portfolio page is what got me an interview with them, but I'm wondering if scholars will take it in quite the same light...

I bought ketchup. And a futon. So the staples are in place, at least.

Actually we got a bunch of stuff. Table, two chairs, toaster oven, tissue, other things beginning with T. Tinfoil! Trash bags!

You know what we did not buy? a TELEVISION.

Which, I dunno, other than House and Studio 60 I don't watch that much television, but it's nice to have one in case of News Emergencies. They're just so damn expensive! I've never bought one before. The first TV I ever owned was secondhand from Mum and the second one I got via trade -- I gave my friend Case four Game Boy games and he gave me a TV, which we both thought was an awesome deal (Kirby's Pinball, Castlevania, Star Trek, and a duplicate copy of Tetris. before you ask).

And Mum's saying I need to take a break, so I'm off. Catch y'all later.
