Well, guess what? I figure I might as well put this here to share with all those I haven't spoken with... but I'm no longer going to be attending grad school in California. As of about one week ago, I've had to decide between Claremont Graduate University and West Chester University in PA after visiting their campus and checking out their town. ( Read more... )

Does anyone feel like making a big move... to California?

I could use a roommate.

Thanks to my flaky adviser, West Chester (PA) didn't get my last letter of rec until VERY late, so it's going to be a few more weeks before I hear anything from them (and they could have had a decision by now!!!). I would obviously like to let Claremont know before that ( Read more... )

So, I've gotten into Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, CA... about 30 miles from downtown LA and one of the last (if not the last) city in Los Angeles County going Eastward. Everything about it seems awesome, including the over-$9,000 fellowship they'd grant me if I were to attend. I still have yet to hear from Cal State LA (should get in ( Read more... )

Woke up a bit earlier today. Well, woke up a few times, actually. Passed out on the couch last night during an "Invader Zim" marathon with mike (I use the term loosely, as we both passed out after only a few episodes). And now I'm up, trying to organize my grad school things for the coming week and figuring out which plans to adhere to for New ( Read more... )

I feel that Christmas should still be at least 2 weeks away... so maybe it would have more time to snow and feel like the real thing. I'm fairly sure it's the fact that this is my first Christmas Eve where I'm being forced to work... and it sucks ( Read more... )

So the rounding off of the past week or so has prompted me to share a brief thing of what's up. And no one's really up right now, so this it is! First off, I took the GRE on Saturday and... I'm ok! I did approximately how I thought I would on the verbal (should have done better, but I think I made stupid mistakes)... but I did a hell of a lot ( Read more... )

I did it. I was able to take off Sat. the 18th from work... even though it's a blackout date because of Thanksgiving ( Read more... )

So... I guess scratch part of my last entry, as I shan't be attending PA for Kristen's Halloween party. Being sick *sucks* and I think this is possibly the most disappointed I've been about anything in quite a while ( Read more... )

And... ok. I haven't posted in a bit, so I figured that this was an alright time to do so. No worries, though. My life isn't nearly as fascinating as it should be... though the past few weeks have been unusually excellent ( Read more... )
