Apparently I'm experiencing stress induced health problems again, which isn't making life very fun. Hopefully they'll be gone once I graduate in a week and a half. This leads to the subject of graduate schools. I've decided not to even bother sending applications to American schools; I'm applying to several UK universities instead. My mother has already started the expected chorus of "But why don't you just stay at Iowa State for your master's studies?" Actually, she's been saying that for months, originally trying to dissuade me from transferring to a university in a different state. Now she's at it again. I understand that she's still trying to get over the shock of Austin being halfway across the country (when he's not in Iraq), but I really don't appreciate the way she's trying to persuade me to change my plans and go to a university that simply doesn't have a good master's program for History simply because she's clingy.
Bah, I don't like being angsty (irony?). I'm hoping that after all my essays are done, as well as my finals and graduate applications, I can Christmas break and not have so much shit going on.
