So I bought a 1999 Nissan Altima. 70,000 or so miles...pretty much perfect. leather interior and power everything. Its nice and I like it a lot. It is kinda wierd to not be driving the only car Ive had since I got my permit though. Not in a physical way (although that will take some getting used to) but in a stupid sentimental way. I am way to nostalgic sometimes. That car went through a lot with me though, and took me to a lot of sweet places, with a lot of neat people. Anyway, I no longer drive a station wagon with the turning radius of a jet-liner, i have a small japanese car.
I went to my RPI interviews and they went amazing. The whole time they were acting like they had to win my application; it was very odd since my goal in going was to win my acceptance! One woman invited me to present with her at a conference in Sweden, and one man actually said to me "We get about 10 exceptional applicants each year, only five of them really fit with our department and from what Ive seen you are one of those." How friggin sweet right? Im trying not to get my hopes too up, but it was an awesome feeling to know all my work is payig off. Speaking of which, my thesis is coming to completeion. I mean- not really, but in a way. I will soon have almost 40 pages. Just an analysis and conclusion left after that, probably another 30+ pages. Yeehaw...
My littel brother's birthday party was at his gymnastics studio place. It was fun, although they wouldnt let me spar with a foam stick on the balance beam- they were just frightened that Id show them up. Thats it. haha.
I wont be going home for another 4 weeks, then after that I am home once more for thanksgiving, then I graduate. Holy moly! I go back and forth between being psyched and really sad/nervous/anxious. having loan payments isnt helping the anxiety, and loving the friends i've begun to make only recently also isnt helping.
Ok, I am just procrastinating at this point. Back to reading.
peace.
