Summer jobs

I'm curious; what's everyone doing for the summer? Are you staying in Waterloo, or are you going elsewhere? Have you got a job yet, or is that something you're still looking for? Is there anything awesome that you're going to do over the summer?

I myself am staying in Waterloo; I haven't gotten a job yet, but I'm working on it: I want to try and get something that really relates to my experience at Laurier as a writing tutor. My summer's not the most exciting, as I'm pretty much planning on staying here and deciding where I want to go for my Masters (and what kind of Masters I even want to be doing!). Being at the writing centre has really made me want to focus on going into the world of publishing, so I'm currently researching that.

How about everyone else?

Interesting discussion of the semicolon and its merits (or lack thereof):

Title

How do you feel about the blog title?

I like it, but the inclusion of the word "diary" takes on a certain connotation online. It almost sounds little too emo/livejournal for my liking. The writing ought to be reflective and open-ended, but not necessarily deeply personal and expressive.

Thoughts? Any other ideas on what this should be called? Or do we like the current title?
