RL post of mushiness
So I'm sorry I've been such an eljay stranger recently, everyone. I've been keeping up with your lives via my flist, I promise. This time of the year is always completely crazy. I finally got my huge seminar paper in, though, and 3 of the 5 Ph.D. apps have been mailed.
The school preference list is:
1. Vanderbilt
2. Boston College
3. UMich Ann Arbor
4. UC Davis
5. CU Boulder
I'm sure things will be crossed off in a few months once rejection letters start (because they'll inevitably arrive before the acceptance(s), of course). I'll keep you all posted.
I'm flying home to the parents' tomorrow morning. Am super stoked about home-cooked food and getting to see everyone. Other exciting news: I started seeing this guy about 3 weeks ago, and he's officially asked me to "go steady." Yes, he actually said that. Cute, no? I'm absolutely exhausted right now because we talked for SEVEN HOURS STRAIGHT on the phone last night. SEVEN. I've never felt this way before, guys, and it's strangely wonderful. We're so silly and cute, but he's also amazingly intelligent, which is of course very important to me. We made each other mix CDs for Christmas (I know, I'm a geek, but he is too, so it's okay) and I put a Hanson song on his and he liked it. It was "A Song to Sing," in case you're wondering, Margaret, Jessica, and Ella. Gah. I'm gonna stop before I explode and spray rainbows and sunshine everywhere.
Have a great holidays, guys. Have fun and be safe, and I'll check in again soon.
