Still hott.

I have plenty of my own work to be doing, but honestly i really like editing other people's papers, and it makes me happy that other people think my doing so is helpful to them.

Got an e-mail from Lauren Wolfe (President of the Smith Democrats) this morning about my Sophian column. Yay to superfast response. She wants to work toward more political diversity on campus, and i e-mailed Anna Rule wondering what happened with Women For Freedom.

Margi suggested e-mailing SFS re: the no hiring of Smith grads policy, saying "I'll be interested to hear what you learn," so i did, querying about such details as "Does the graduate have to wait a year after graduation before applying to for a job at Smith? Does she need to have one full-time job under her belt?" We shall see. Margi also said, "And with the current hiring freeze at Smith, I know I won't be in a position to hire anyone for a while . . . " *sighs*

My Spanish paper is just over 4 pages (is supposed to be 5-6) but i have some other things i want to work in that just didn't get in because my brain was getting tired, but i'm taking a day off from the poem starting when i handed in my rough draft, so i should be refreshed and ready to weave in these other images, allusions, and ideas.

What's with the no hiring of Smith grads policy?

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

A woman i work with at the museum said they're not allowed to hire Smithies right after they graduate (http://www.livejournal.com/users/hermionesviolin/265992.html?thread=546312#t546312). However, it turns out that Smith grads just can't be hired for student jobs the summer after they graduate; there's no rule against hiring them for regular jobs (http://www.livejournal.com/users/hermionesviolin/271026.html).

Sidenote-if Lauren is so into Political Diversity, why did she e-mail everyone and their mom about being on the dems mailing list?

Good point. (And incidentally, when i was in Oxford, i was in the computer lab with a bunch of Smithies one day and some of us got that e-mail and some didn't. Chatting with friends during SAA training we wondered how they decided who got that e-mail.) Though in her defense, she may legitimately want thoughtful debate and a diversity of views on campus but also think she's on the correct side and thus want as many people as possible involved on her side.
