(no subject)
Well, my 2 weeks of hell are over! I just turned in my last paper and proceeded to watch 2 episodes of Scrubs (my new love). Now all that's left is editing my drafts into final projects, which should not be as stressful as writing them in the first place. This is really the first time in two months that I feel good. I feel free and finally not overburdened with crap to do. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not completely finished, but I'm not swamped either.
I've also kind of resigned myself to not getting into grad school this time around. But honestly, I'm not disappointed. I was having a lot of trouble deciding whether it was actually what I wanted to do. Instead, I have been job searching. I think my next move is to go home for a little while and re-gather my strength. I have been looking for vet tech jobs at local vet clinics near my house, so I can have a job while I'm at home and save up some money for my next step. Who knows? If I like it, maybe the right thing for me will ultimately be vet school. I don't know what direction I'm going to go in, but the only thing to do is get out there and try stuff so that I can figure it out. We'll see I suppose. Maybe living at home and not paying rent will allow me to afford a car finally, which I do need at this point in my life.
My parents are coming up to visit next weekend and hear me play in the orchestra. This Thursday is the concert at Brandeis (it's free, as part of the Festival of the Arts, and I believe it starts at 8pm in Slosberg, if anyone's interested). I also have a Sunday concert at Wellesley which is the one my family will come to. Then, it's passover break! Yay! I'm looking forward to a much needed vacation.
Also, as a random aside, Chris and I were out on Saturday night waiting for the Branvan when all of a sudden, this red pick-up truck drives past us. Now, normally I wouldn't be bothered by this, but in the back of the truck was a shitload of bread products. Like, more bread than you could ever imagine having. It's like they broke into a Peppridge Farm factory and stole everything inside. The back of the truck was completely full of it. Anyway, I thought that was highly amusing, and I'm sorry that I didn't have my camera with me.
