Ok, recent news: On of my letter writers for grad school kind of fucked me over and just told me that my letters of recommendation wont be ready tomorrow, the agreed upon date to send them out. I agreed on the date a month ago, and gave him a 10 day warning, but oh well. This means 3 things:
1) I have to overnight my Case Western app
2) Most my apps other than Utah, Northwestern and Michigan will have to wait until after finals
Ok, so I forgot the 3rd. Anyway, even though it pushed back my send out dates, I needed the mental health vacation, and now I think I will be able to make it through this week, which will be the hardest of the 2 I have left. 20 page paper due wed along with 5 test questions and then a test on thursday, along with the Case Western Application. Drink Friday, lather, rinse, repeat.
Yesterday was amazing. Spencer, Tyler, and Emily cooked for me, and then we went out to the Chase to get liquored up in style. The bartender started our tab late, so we only had to pay 20 bucks for what I am sure was over 50 bucks worth of alcohol. I would say we ran out before they noticed, but we were kind of drunk, and that is an understatement. My condition forced me to sleep on spencers futon in the common room, which was not warm, but was good enough. I woke up with that nice drunk feeling thats not a hangover, but more of a reminder that the night before was awesome, but you need to take it easy.
I really enjoyed my time with my parents today. I have always had a bunch of questions about Louisiana Steel that I had never asked my dad for whatever reason. I dont know why, but I love talking steel with my dad, and I think he enjoys it too. It is hard not to be in awe of what he has done and not be inspired by it. His words for me today:
"Get out a piece of paper and draw a 12 inch square on it. Now look at that box. Any piece of steel that fits in that box I can make, and up to an inch thick. I am the only person in the country that can say that."
Not only does that inspire me, but also his vision. Basically he wants to find a way to get that message to the engineers of the world so they can all collectively blow their loads and Louisiana Steel can take over the world. If the psych thing ever doesnt work out, I know where I am going to be headed for a job. I will have to start at the bottom, but I know I could make it all the way up and totally rock it.
