I guess I'm a little depressed.
Solitary life gets taxing. At work I sit alone in an office, not talking to or even seeing another person for 7 hours. Then I come home and do the same thing, only in the apartment I love. There are e-mails and my parents and girlfriend call me, but sometimes the hatred you feel for the life that you live sneaks up on you.
You're busy for a long time, stressing out over doctoral applications, dreaming of the city and the schools next year. You decide you've worked hard, you deserve a break. You put off your last application to play a video game. Chill.
And then it hits you: if you don't get accepted, this is your life next year, and maybe from there on out. Theme Hospital, a lot of MTV, and Amy's frozen vegetarian meals. This shit hole town.
Christmas is coming up. Things will get better. There is work to be done on that Northwestern application. I'm just tired.
