Clearly, for the last few weeks I had lost my mind. I had forgotten that I'm not "that girl." I am not "that girl" whose weekend is ruined if a boy doesn't call, or who keeps after someone who doesn't make much of an effort or who puts important things on hold because of a guy. What was I thinking??? I'm the girl who studies her butt off and ( Read more... )

Between the craziness that is work and studying like mad for the EPPP, I did manage to squeeze in a Halloween party this Saturday. I was told at the last minute that I needed to go in costume, so after frantically going through my closet, I dressed all in black and pinned white paper plates with the number 8 on them to my shirt and went as an 8 ( Read more... )

Here's the deal: Since I've been in West Virginia, I've been propositioned by two married men (motto: I swear I'm getting a divorce), an ex-patient, and a mass murderer. Also, the last guy who's kissed me is an inpatient with an IQ of 50 (yes, it was a surprise and against my will). It's official: my social life is pathetic!

So finally, finally, FINALLY after weeks of deprivation, I have a working internet connection! Seriously, I was having withdrawal pains for a very long time. (Email deprivation DTs are not a pretty picture ( Read more... )

I've been thinking. For all the grief I've been getting during the last week about the "Darcy and Alysia Show" (explanations to come), if I had the year to do over, I would make the same choices. I had a blast this year. No regrets.

What do you say the morning after a night that included two full hand grenades, at least two beer, feather boas, loud music, presents from strangers, slutty drunken dialing to Dan (hopefully, please God I can recover from that one), males being pissy and territorial, and a federal ex-con's shameless and persistent flirting, when you have to pull ( Read more... )

I have to say, I did not approach western Kansas with an open mind. First of all, there is nothing in western Kansas but cows and corn. The place I interviewed, Larned, is a town of maybe 1500. It had one stoplight. That's it-one stoplight. On my flight into Kansas, somehow the airline lost my bag. The gate agent said that if my bag came in ( Read more... )

OMG, had SUCH a fun/interesting/exhausting time. Last week, Alysia and I decided to blow off work on the 3rd and go to Atlanta for the Fourth of July weekend (seriously, I have over 100 hours of leave time accrued. Why in the world would I choose to stay in BR when Atlanta, Amy, Emily, and Zarah are a mere 7 hours away?). On Friday, I woke up at ( Read more... )

I actually graduated. Oh my god, I ACTUALLY GRADUATED!!!!!! Barring any unforeseen disasters...wait, even if i completely and totally fuck up for the next two months, I have so many brownie points built in that I will still pass internship with an A...I will officially be Dr. Darcy Shores in August. Or, Darcy Shores, Ph.D., Psy.D. Eek ( Read more... )

I just checked, and I have only nine weeks left for internship. I don't have a job lined up for post-internship. I don't have enough money to afford to stay in Baton Rouge past August, and I don't have a plan for afterward. I am trying to talk to two sites, but crappy timing and my cell phone's habit of dropping calls are preventing me from ( Read more... )
