the sweetness of rejection
I GOT MY FIRST REAL OFFICIAL REJECTION LETTER FROM A REAL OFFICIAL LITERARY MAGAZINE!!!!!!!!! (This sounds like it would be depressing, but it's sort of exciting. I was expecting to be rejected, so it's sort of like a rite of passage. I'm stoked.)
I am killing time waiting for my laundry to finish. Spring break was fairly busy for me... but I caught up with some old friends and maybe made some new ones. Who I will probably never see again. Oh well. This is a quick run down of what I accomplished.
I'll be back in Pittsburgh tomorrow and I'm going to try to make a few changes in my life. For one, I'm going to be on AIM less. It's getting a little ridiculous. I feel totally and utterly cut off from the world if I'm not online. This needs to change. I'm also going to try to cut down on internet time in general. I am going to start exercising regularly. Now that it's getting warmer I should be able to start taking my walks again, and since I hate going to the gym, it all works out. If my parents will spot me the cash and if I have time (which I probably don't) I'd like to take up martial arts again. There are a lot of other things I want to change. Like the situation with you-know-who. But that's going to have to come later. Baby steps, you know? For now I'm okay with the horrible self-destructive cycle he affords me. And in some twisted way I enjoy it. I've been having weird urges to take up smoking lately. I gotta stop that before I give in because I will be addicted for life. Do not take me out to bars or clubs that allow smoking, especially if I am intoxicated, please. So that's it for now. I gotta get that BPhil application completed and handed in by the end of the month so I can start writing the damn book. But those are my short term goals. Go planning.

- Got a good deal of homework done, although not as much as maybe I should have.
- Applied for a few more jobs; hopefully I'll get one of them.
- Made some bad decisions. I'm sure you all know relating to whom.
- Saw Amanda and Ele just enough to leave me wanting more. I love you guys.
- Got some awesome new music.
- Finished up/started some projects.
- Submitted two stories to two different lit mags.
- Played with a whole lot of German Shepherd (approx. 250 pounds worth) and a whole lot of Corgi (they make up for their small size with their attitudes).
- Spent way more money than I should have. I really hope I get one of those jobs.
- Gauged my ears to a 2 with some sweet purple stripey plugs.
