Time fades away, and so do the memories---or the desire to care for memories.
Work is going good right now. We're prolly at the busiest time of the year, with freshman and transfer applications flooding in...and drama ensuing ever so faithfully. Many freshman applications have disappeared---but many of the application fees for these missing applications have been cashed. Not the best way to attract students, would you say? Yeah, so nonetheless, our Admissions Office has been flooded with irate, some not-so-irate-yet parents, students, and even school counselors concerned about the whereabouts of applications sent back in late November and early December. This recently became frustrating to us counselors here because we're the ones that are always dealing up front, and sometimes, in the face of the student body. Suddenly, we were briefed from our processing center that we're about--get this--8 weeks behind processing freshman applications. So yea, drama there. But our office is taking it pretty well. We keep each other sane.
I wrote back to my German friend, Katherina, after her little e-mail tirade I so blatantly explained in my last post. And guess what?????? She hasnt responded yet. Ask me if I care. I am one of the most approachable people I know. Dont come at me like that. You unleash your wrath on me and turn your back on me like that, you better believe that the last thing you will see will be my back as I walk away without a second glance. I know for a fact she read my e-mail. I sent it about 2 weeks ago. She checks her e-mail often. Again, ask me if I care.
My good good friend, Julianne, and I have decided we're going to Hawaii for a vacation this summer. We havent decided exactly what month or even what week we're going, but nonetheless, we're going. I'm just going to take a break from the international scene. Gonna go back sooner or later though. I cant stay away for long.
Lizabeast, honey dearest, how the hell am I going to get up to your house for the wedding? How far is Tenant's Harbor from Portland, ME? I know I am making a stretch here and I am prolly gonna sound like an idiot, but are there any transportation options for me once I hit Maine?
Jenn babes, you going to the wedding, right? How are you getting up there?
