So less than a week after my "you can expect the best outcome" epiphany, I had more wonderful news ( Read more... )

At therapy today I told a story. You see, I have this problem where I really focus on the worst possible outcome for any unknown. I assume the worst will happen and then I dread it ( Read more... )

Today I made the mistake of spending some time reading about MARTA. Or rather, reading the words of some batshit crazy people anonymously commenting on MARTA. The rhetoric freaks me out. Between this stuff and all the Redditor proponents of concealed carry on the GaTech sub-Reddit, I am seriously wondering where the hell I am going ( Read more... )

We sold our first piece of furniture on Craigslist today. We've listed about a dozen things, so we have such a long way to go. It feels good to let things go, though. It seems impossible that all of this will fit into a moving truck.

It's the simplest ( Read more... )

The last few weeks of anti-social behavior and lugging around heavy prep books to various neighborhood Starbucks definitely paid off. I took the GRE on Saturday and I surpassed my goal (which was basically not to score so low as to embarrass myself). I bagged a 680 quant/740 verbal, and I promised myself that I wouldn't retake if I score at least ( Read more... )
