wow, i guess it's been a minute since i posted ... don't really know what to talk about. everything's been going fairly decently lately, i guess. been trying to figure out what the hell i'm going to do ... but i can't really make any decisions until after ... um ... january 4th? 8th? (hey barth, when do we get those test results?) i know for sure i didn't pass the exam, but it seems silly to make any changes until i know for sure. so only a couple more weeks, and then i really need to get down to making some decisions. i found a program that i really want to try to get into ... but i'm pretty sure i can't. i mean, my gpa was good, but i seriously doubt it was good enough to get me into a really kick-ass graduate program. and i need to take the gre anyway, but i doubt i can do well enough to make up for the lack of a spectacular undergrad gpa. so who knows. also, if i chose to pursue this, that would mean i'd definitely be in atlanta for another 2-3 years, and i'm not really sure how i feel about that. it'd be nice to take a year or so and go somewhere else, but i can't really afford to take *another* year off from school if i'm really serious about going back. so ... i don't know. i'm just going to try to not think about it at all until january.
everything has been really exceptionally crazy with my family lately ... my cousin had his thyroid removed yesterday, which is a huge deal - but probably not as big a deal as the serious nervous breakdown he had right before the surgery. my grandmother has been in and out of the hospital, and after they kept saying there was nothing they could find wrong with her, my mom found out yesterday when she went to visit her that she has some kind of cancer (they're not sure what kind yet, but ... when you're 82 years old and not in the best health anyway, it doesn't really matter what kind it is, since they can't really treat it aggressively anyway.) hmm ... what else? my 16-year-old niece was arrested last week for felony shoplifting ... luckily they released her into my sister's custody rather than actually taking her to jail, but now my sister is seriously freaking out and my nephew and other two nieces are freaking out, and of course my parents are freaking out ... so yeah. on a slightly happier note, i got a relatively clean bill of health at my most recent doctor's visit, so i'm pretty excited that my cervix has remained cancer-free for ... almost 6 months now. i celebrated by drinking until i forgot what i was celebrating. it was wonderful.
work has been going fairly well. lots of drama, but that's pretty much par for the norm in any restaurant. i've pretty much been doing nothing but working lately, but it's nice because i'm managing to save up a little money, which is always good. so far the boy and i have managed to keep everything relatively quiet, but it's been worrying me more and more lately for some reason. all the more reason for me to start looking for something new in the near future. been going out with holly a couple of times a week, which is always fun, because she's super-fun and we have a great time and at the same time it reminds me that there's at least one person out there who's a bigger train wreck than i am. i heart the derby. i'm thinking about moving there. that's fine, right?
i guess that's pretty much everything. i'm kinda considering coming up to cola friday or saturday night to see JJ ... we'll see. depends on funds and schedules and some other stuff. so we'll see. ok, time for work. bleh.
