Everyone loves updates!
This is just a reminder that I am, in fact, still alive. And probably buzzed. I just made myself a rum and coke. I don't crave alcohol, though I do think about it a lot lately. For example, this morning I was thinking about how much more bearable work would be if I could just start the day with a rum and coke. I don't mean getting drunk at work, mind you. Just one shot of rum in the morning, or maybe in the middle of my shift to soothe nerves customers have been getting on and then moving along. Perhaps, if my thoughts of alcohol relate to making work "more bearable," it means that perhaps I should look for another job. I should. I'm tired of getting the "You're a college graduate and you're working at gamestop" look. It's MY life, dammit. I can waste it away any way I see fit!
Moving on now.
I worked a bit more on my personal statement today. I've decided that I need to write anything and everything, then I'll trim it down later. The statement only needs to be approximately 500 words, so I should write a few pages and then fix it up later. It's probably the only way this is going to get done. A few days ago I even wrote an email to one of my professors at Davis asking if she'd be willing to write me a letter of recommendation. I'm disappointed that I haven't heard back from her yet, though... I'll give it another couple of days, but what do I do if she doesn't respond by the end of this week? Should I write back? I know I have her correct email address. I've written to it before and she's responded. At the very least I'd expect a "no" or something from her, not that she'd ignore me. I may just be worrying for nothing. I do that.
Wow... starting to feel the effects of that rum and coke now. It was pretty strong...
