Spring break was amazing. Now I am frantic because I just got a call from a woman at the study abroad program I want to do; the application is due tomorrow and I was planning on not getting it in on time and having that not really matter, but apparently they're getting lots of applications and they think it's important to stick to the deadline, so ( Read more... )

It's been a day of good and bad decisions; particularly, of decisions which are both good (for my happiness) and bad (for my finishing of work before spring break).
