Graduate Schools

Yup. I'm applying to them. Hope I get into at least one. That is my wish.

Here's the list (in no particular order):

George Washington University
Northeastern University
Boston Univeristy
Boston College
UMass-Amherst
New School University
USC (SoCal)
SDSU (San Diego)
London School of Economics and Politics

That's my list. With the exception of Amherst and kind of SDSU, they are all in big big cities. I think I miss those. :D

Yea... It's Halloween weekend, and....

I'm on duty. Woo.hoo. I wouldn't mind so much except feels like I'm missing fun stuff that I wouldn't wanna miss. Oh, well. Though I was bummed that I couldn't go out with the lot for a pint with Bill Sheasgreen. I MISS LONDON!

I don't know if I've written about my residents yet -

They are cooooooooooool cats. Yes, that's right, I said cats. They keep me going.

They are a fun bunch - I just wish I had the energy to enjoy their boundless energy with them. I am just burnt out. My hair is falling out, I'm pretty stressed. Pasha hypothesized that it might be PTSD. Who knows. It is ALLLL possible.

The floor's been pretty receptive... or it's just in my head...?

I'm burnt out and I wish I could take a nap or five during the day. Who knew I had a full schedule? Not me. I'm also about 1.5weeks behind my methods research project because I missed a week of classes, not to mention my other classes. I am caught up on all classes but methods, it's been a weird. I haven't been getting much sleep because I'm just waking up to every noise possible. Then, I can't really seem to fall back to sleep - at least not immediately.

I think I'm just at that point during the semester where I am just exhausted. Eh. Nothing new. A resident or two have seen me around and said - "you look tired." Aww. Though it occurs to me now, that one might have been making a joke. Eh, it's 1:44AM, but really 2:44AM, but b/c of daylight savings, it's 1:44AM. It still feels like 2:44AM. GOOD GOLLY - what was I saying?

The Halloween Insanity is tomorrow night, and I hope it turns out relatively well, only because there is this PRESSURE to do well. I am glad that a lot of peeps on the floor are enthusiastic about it. I always do appreciate participation :P.

I will keep all those that are interested, posted. Whee.

Some exciting stuff

So, I haven't written here in ages, and a few things have happened since then.

The most exciting thing, I suppose, was the accident - I was driving to Boston, and 10 minutes from my hotel, my car spun and flipped over a few times or something like that - I don't remember much. The ER was cool and crazy and awful at the same time. I stayed at the hospital for 2 nights. It was the official hospital of the Red Sox, which is weird and cool. I have a bruise on my left lung and a fracture on my medial wall... or something like that. I was miserable because of the IVs but I got to sleep a lot. Tami came and sat with me until the wee hours on the first night and came to visit later - so did Amy and her boyfriend Mike? ... Anyways... it was really nice of them to visit! then, momo's dad picked me up and dropped me off in Albany where Momo picked me up to take me to Ithaca. So great to have great people around you. I missed classes for a week due to the vicadin and antibiotics which made me crazy. I feel much better now. Thank goodness. I still have some things to do, like check ups and reports and insurance things. So, hopefully all will work out.

all other stuff is a blurr... it was good stuff, and i like my floor of kooky, yet seemingly nice residents. Hmm... I will write more later. ciao, bella.
