I need to figure my life out. All I've got going right now is this foreign service test in three weeks, which more likely than not I'm going to fail. And even if I pass, I need something to do while waiting for clearance. I'm sick of applying to jobs, I haven't even gotten a rejection letter back in weeks.

So I went to NYC for another orals stuyd group today, and was going to meet up with a friend for sheesha, but he ended up having a migraine so I just walked around for a few hours.

Like....I move in and my entire closet is filled with my dad's old soviet university physics textbooks and ( Read more... )

So my landlady just kindly informed me that I have to be out by the 28th because her granddaughter is moving in....great. Now I have to find a place to stay for the last few days of school, buy tickets earlier than planned (thank god I hadn't paid for any yet), AND spend three months at home.

So two days ago was officially a week of sleeping in the Voice Newspaper office. It's developed into a routine. Like every day  (or almost) we have to go to the gym because otherwise we can't shower.
