Rejection

So it's not exactly a "rejection" letter, but it is a letter notifying me that the funding for one of the positions I applied to has been cut. So it's still a big, fat "No." This is from Fullerton College, a school in California, and I'm a bit bummed by the news--not only because I invested time and money into the application--but because I felt like I might have had a shot at this job. A lot of the profs at Fullerton have degrees from UC Riverside; plus, a prof from the English department had been giving me advice on my application.

And, unfortunately, it seems I have caught Miss Lilybeth Mary's virus. And it is a miserable one: headache, sore throat, feeling nausea and lethargic, and a runny nose. I spent most of yesterday in bed and would have done the same today, except I had to work (though my supervisor sent me home in the middle of the day, and I napped for about 3 hours). Here's a picture of me in bed:
You can only see my hand because I look miserable.
