You know what place I just got done applying to? Hilton Hotels. Yes~ I am daydreaming about getting to meet Paris Hilton. I would be nice to her, even! Although at one point I wanted to write her a letter, something along the lines of
Dear Paris,
You will never in your lifetime even approach spending all of the money you have. I, on the other hand, have nothing compared to you. It would be very kind, and I would be very appreciative, if you funded my education from here on out. Think of it as philanthropy.
Love,
Linzi
I went as far as to Google if there was a personal address at which I could reach her. Of course there's not, and one of her personal assistants would toss it, I'm sure. Dreams die hard. But yes, I applied there. Applied everywhere, I feel like, except fast food. There is some shit I will not eat. In so many ways.
My life has been uneventful otherwise. I am booored, I can't stand not running class to class to work to homework every day. What I am going to do soon though is research grad schools, and finalize a list so I can apply next semester. Right now I think I've got UNC at Chapel Hill, Duke, Vanderbilt, and Princeton. Maybe one or two more, maybe a couple of adjustments.
Right now I'm reading Doomsday Book by Connie Willis, fun sci-fi/fantasy about a girl time traveling to the fourteenth century. It's going very quickly and delightfully, I haven't read such a fluffy book in a long time. We are very serious scholars here >:-|
