Wow. What a night. It was planned back in March that since my Civil War final was the last final for all 5 of us in the class, we'd go out afterwards. Which we did. By about 5:30 we were at a bar named Lia's, which happened to also be the location of last night's senior night event due to their crazy Wednesday happy hour specials. They had fun ( Read more... )

Although it didn't come by mail, I finally have my official notice of admittance from Stony Brook. A nice long email. Sucks a bit after watching the mail for a week plus, but still, I'm excited to have my official notification ( Read more... )

Holy shit! 3 weeks until graduation ( Read more... )

My uncle likes to send out emails filled with jokes to the rest of the family, and these jokes are often Jewish jokes. This one is too, but a) it could easily happen with another faith (other than Catholic) and b) it was too funny not to share ( Read more... )

Since receiving an offer of admission from NYU last week, I've spent a lot of time stressing, because their reply deadline is only the day after the application deadline at Stony Brook. The worry got even worse after I responded on Monday to a voicemail left on my phone on Friday; apparently, unlike undergraduate applications to SUNY schools, ( Read more... )

Someone in one of my communities posted a few of those stories of the stupidity that travel agents have to deal with. The link from which they were obtained was provided, and i've been taking a look at a few things over there...which i really shouldn't have done. Some of it was amusing, but after reading A History of the World According to ( Read more... )

Holy fucking shit!!

I'm downtown in Dupont Circle in a cafe with a few classmates because the professor canceled the walking tour (due to falling snow that wasn't even sticking to the roadways), and i get a call from starfishumd. She figured that i would want to know that there was an envelope in the mail for me from NYU, and the word "congratulations" was ( Read more... )

Holy fucking shit. I just got a message from an old friend that she's getting married in May. I probably would have known about it sooner if we hadn't sort of fallen out of touch during college. She was my closest friend in high school, but I lost touch with her during....junior year, maybe, after a xmas card from her got lost in my room for a ( Read more... )

Sometimes I forget just how close I am to the true South. Yes, Maryland and Washington, D.C. are both south of the Mason-Dixon line, but they only feel like the South when they freak out over snow. An inch of snow and the schools are closed. Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday early morning 2 or so inches of snow plus some ice over that and nearly ( Read more... )

Apparently this was a really good day for me. Doesn't matter that I got up an hour later than I really wanted to and still haven't done any homework; it was still a good day. Got a second grad school application out in the mail today, leaving only one to go. After it snowed and the snow began to turn to ice pellets, AU finally decided at about ( Read more... )
