My computer's getting ready to crap out on me. Seems to be doing all right now, after its second system restore in twelve hours, but I won't be surprised to see the blue screen of death yet again. I think it's about time to get a new computer, but no can afford it.
Am getting my shit together for grad school applications. I doubt I'll get in anywhere (why is it that only really prestigious schools have divinity programs?) but at least I'll have tried. The hardest part will be e-mailing profs for recomendation letters--I hate imposing like that. But I cannot stand another year of total boredom. I miss school. :( Justin kindly left his computer here so I could do all of it without having to worry about another visit from the Angel of System Errors.
I am currently using my computer, and it seems to be okay, but I think I'll keep using Justin's for applications.
Watched Pan's Labyrinth last night, in a fit of "nothing better to do." Oh my God. I know I'm behind the times a bit on that one, but it's been sitting on my shelf since my last birthday and I've just never had the time/desire to read subtitles. It's so sad! And kind of not, too, if you think that what Ofelia was seeing the whole time was real, but still... I never really thought about how WWII affected Spain, except on the level that I knew it too had it's experiences with fascist dictators. Nothing in detail. But it was visually gorgeous, and the story was really well-balanced.
ETA: Have e-mailed three of my old profs begging for letters of recommendation. Go me!
