Yes, I'm back after my much needed break. Here's what you've missed:
I went to Tennessee on Thursday. Met with the director of graduate studies on Friday. Was back at home by 3am on Saturday. Lots and lots and lots of driving. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the school or program. According to the grad student I met with, the "sense of community" I was expecting is fairly non-existent. This makes me sad.
Plus, the town was big, scary and 3/4 of it is under construction. I'm not sure I want to go there anymore.
Of course, my only other option is UofA, and there may be a problem. They've apparently sent out e-mails to the people they have accepted, and I have gotten no e-mail. WTF, mate? I e-mailed their director of graduate studies to see if my applications was complete. I can't imagine not getting in, since I've already gotten into an even more competitive program. I'm not trying to act like I'm "all that" or anything, but once you're in to a pretty competitive program, you should get into some programs who are not as great. So now, I'm freaking out that not everything got there, and I won't get in because some letter went astray.
Love life: things are pretty close to nothing in that department. The guy and I are still talking -- online mostly, but nothing much else. I don't know if things are over or not... I suspect he's waiting to see if I'm moving to Tennessee or not. If I go to Tenn, there's no point in starting a relationship. But, if I go to Arkansas... then maybe. Of course, I have to get in to Arkansas first.
School: Is it over yet? I've only got a month left, but it's almost too much. I'm so tired of this place, of these people, and of school. I need a vacation where I'm not doing work. I've been doing some kind of research for the last three years solid. I need one summer off.
I got to see my best friend today. Best birthday present I could get. She's up from Florida for a while to have a med school interview. We visited for a few hours. It was lots of fun... I didn't realize how much I missed having her around. It's tough living a life without your best friend around.
Got an e-mail from my ex today. He wrote, "Look, I know you don't want to talk to me and that's fine I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday." I didn't respond. The only thing I could think to write was, "You're right, I don't want to talk to you. Thanks for fouling up my birthday anyway." Instead, I deleted the e-mail and prayed that that was the last I would ever hear from him.
Oh, yeah, and I'm 23 years old today. I wish I knew where I was going to be when I was 24. This is also the first birthday I've had since I turned 19 that I haven't been kissed. I know it's silly, but I feel like this birthday is missing something. I don't have anyone to share it with, and that makes me sad.
Well, happy April Fool's day everyone. I hope you pranked someone, and I hope they hated/loved it.
