Checked Emerson's student employment listing. Nothing available for the fall yet. Once I find an apartment the job search will be easier. I'll have roots somewhere.

Also, I finished reading The Keep in about 3 days. Mostly in one day. It was what they call a "fast read." It's about this guy, Danny, who flees NY due to complications with these guys busting up his knee (presumably mob guys), and he goes to Eastern Europe to work on renovating a 900-year-old castle with his cousin, Howard. As a child, Danny and Howie (and another cousin) explored some cave, and Danny pushed Howie into this glowing pool of water before he and the other cousin ran out with the flashlight, leaving Howie alone in there for 3 days before anyone found him. This is the "traumatic incident." Upon arriving at the castle, almost immediately, Danny thinks Howard is plotting revenge. All of this is told by an inmate in prison for murder, writing the story for his prison writing class.

It was sort of like ghost story meets neurotic paranoia. Like it's all in your head, but maybe it's not. It creeped me out reading it alone last night after my dad went out. But I'm always creeped out alone at night. I don't know how I feel about all the twists, though. Sort of like M. Night Shyamalan. That could be good or bad.
