So today is the day I got to go back to jobsearch training. Yay. Had to endure being assigned to groups at one point and then listen to others jokingly complain that we were the only group without any girls. Followed by the whole group expounding on stereotypes about what males and females are like. This was after the conversation about how Americans are very nice but very ignorant (thinking Australia has never been involved in any wars, that only blondes are allowed to live here, etc.).
Otherwise, not much of interest. I did manage a whole page of Uncountable during lunchbreak, complete with impromptu poemlike entity. Now paused at another stumbling block (characters should not start asking questions before I know what they want). Also finished the last part of "This Land' (with ~430 words, so that is my quota for the day) plus the reading of The Bad Beginning. Too bad my sister has lent The Reptile Room plus the next few of A Series Of Unfortunate Events to her friend so I cannot continue reading until they are returned.
Not sure which story to work on next. Three and a bit weeks to have one ready though, so there is plenty of time to take advantage of.

The reason is b/c they think that all places that are "cold" have blondes (nordic) and all places with beaches have blondes (like California) XD It's a logical fallacy that I think ppl just have from their culture XD
I've always thought that A Series of Unfortunate Events sounds like the perfect title for my autobiography XDDD
I wrote up a short outline of a story last night :)

That said, I think that's the first time I've ever seen the US stereotyped as nice, which is a pleasant change ^.^
