The ending of Break
Break's pretty much over, which means I'm soon off to the frigid for fun and frolic.
Naturally, I didn't accomplish much. I still have to polish up a personal statement, and actually apply to 3 schools. They seem particularly anxious for my credit card number and contact info, maybe just to snag that number in case of a mistake.
I made out like a bandit as far as fun stuff, ranging from coffee to cash to movies and books: The Onion's Our Dumb World, 3:10 to Yuma, Motorcycle Diaries, Serenity: Extended Edition, Bourne Ultimatum, The Departed, The Simpsons, and a few others. Also, nice clothes, computer speakers and archaeology books.
I rediscovered a few websites: Pointless Waste of Time, Real Life, and Something Awful combine well enough. Not only in title (Life- Really awful waste of pointless time? I dunno) but in content-- everything from stuff removed from KoToR 2 to grad school advice to (somewhat) informed and funny discussions of politics and current events.
I'm excited about going back-- classes, the fraternity, friends, and all of it-- and about driving up. I'll hopefully get to my grandparents in St. Louis in one piece and without a speeding ticket. Ever figure out which fast food place has the best coffee? I've figured McDonalds, which doesn't exactly offer Starbucks' Antigua with espresso...
