Not completely following, I leaned forward and focused on the screen, watching myself, a shimmer white dot amidst swirling color and movement.
Should that be "shimmering"?
Congrats, Jesse!
Go JZ!
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
M-W lists "amidst" as a variant of "amid", so it seems like a personal preference.

To my ear, "amidst" is vaguely British, much like "whilst."

Yay for job offer, Jesse!!!
My prof for that intro class offered her negotiating skills for us after we get our degrees. She told us that when we get a library offer but want more, to get her on the phone and she'll walk us through how to get more money/better benefits.
She's really great--I hope I get her for another class next year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks for all the yays and congrats, y'all!!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Feh. I found a job that I want and that I want to apply for, but I have to submit proof of education. Problem is that I work for the place I got my degree from and if I go to the registrar's office for the traditional form, tongues will start wagging. I wonder if I could get away with a photo of my diploma?

Could you get a transcript without prompting tongue-wagging, Vortex? Maybe tell them you're applying to a graduate school?

YAY JESSE

Much coping-ma for JZ.
Cograts, Jesse! Would you be working close to your apartment? That would be another factor in the plus column.

Or say your homeowners association needs it, or you are applying to some professional society or club or something?
