| So I heard back today from three of the seven grad schools I applied to: "no" from University of Florida and West Virginia; "yes" from Queens College. I'm escatic because the first two I had little to no interest in going to, while the latter has moved into the number one position on my list. And I can't say I'm really suprised on my two rejections; it's not so much as my credentials, instead having to do with me not being a very good fit for those schools. I'm excited though; I'm aware that Queens College will probably end up being the worst logistically and financially, but it does define the term "dream school." And who knows, it might just work out. For some reason, I still can't get used to this free time thing. I should be able to just relax and enjoy it, but it's just not natural for me. You get into these specfic ways of reacting to things in and it's so hard to break the habit. And that's one ability that has seemed to diminish for me over the past year and a half: habituation. I look for familiar things to fulfill me, but the problem is that many of the familiar things in my life no longer satisfy me, and haven't for a while, which would go a long way to explain my on-again, off-again unhappiness and discontentment. The other big news in my life is my growing re-attachment to the TV show Millennium. I've got the first two seasons on DVD and will pick up the third when it's released in June. For those of you that don't know, it's a charming drama about serial killers and the apocolypse. It's so dark and so visceral and it's tapping some respect of where (I feel) I am right now (kinding like The Wall is at this very moment). Both are dark (ok, freakin' morbid), but cathatric is a fucked up sort of way that I'm responding to right now... I just keep thinking that I need to purge something in my life, something inside of me, before we can really move on. |

Fanelia | 02-22-05 8:22pm I understand the more free time thing, and the lack of knowing what to do with it. That's kind of how I felt the entire month of May last year, just after school got out and suddenly all I had to do was go to work for eight hours every day. Eventually it wore off I guess, or maybe in my boredom I finally found something interesting to do...

TaoMan1121 | Re:, 02-23-05 2:29am Michelle, I can't control myself, I just finished the first season! You are in line for quite a treat. There's a seven episode stretch that just absolutely rocked my world. I mean, we are talking X-Files good. ::get chills thinking about it:: I'd love to see your reaction for some of these episodes. We'll get together next week and catch you up on all the splooge-fest. |
