2009

After a prolonged hiatus due to holidays/applications/temp job/laziness, I'm back. I'll recap the last 6-7 weeks by saying things were nice and busy. Lots of family, food, some friends, some drink. And lots of going to the post office. We spent New Year's in Laguna and went to the Rose Bowl. Iowa would've won. And now, I'm back in Philly and it's 2009.
I sent my last application off this morning and realized I may have put the wrong addresses on my transcript requests. Oops. Guess I won't be going to that school either. No matter. If at least two of my applications make it to their destinations complete, I think I stand a fair chance of actually going to grad school. I hope. I don't even care where I go. I just need to go. At least I'll be taking a class or two at Villanova and those start next week. At least, hopefully I'll be taking classes. I still need to register I think. I'm going to feel so old but I just want to do some homework.
Clearly, I need to actually do things and not just talk about them/write them on lists. But I'll be meeting Amy and Abi in New York later this week to see a show (Into the Heights or Billy Elliot) and watch Amy try on wedding dresses. YES! Then the APA/AIA conference will be in town and I'll have to try to be somewhat impressive around my former professors and probably future professors. That will be difficult. Busy week here.
Fortunately, I've got some good things coming my way. Namely, John has promised me up to three date nights. 1. because I finished my grad school applications 2. because he just wanted to take me out on a nice date and 3. because...I don't remember. I may have made that third one up. Still, fun. And ice-skating. We haven't done that yet. And Restaurant Week is later in January and apparently he's a big fan so I get to go with him. I sent out Christmas invoices so I should theoretically be replenishing my bank account (the likelihood of Galen paying up is very small though). Amee is going to visit in March, after I get my wisdom teeth out. I can also start planning some visits to grad school and Colin and Sarina's wedding will continue to be the only thing Colin talks about but it'll be so much fun when it actually happens.
hey-o 2009. Looking good.
