I have a lot of manic energy today. I haven't been sleeping well, and I have been trying to deal with that by drinking tons of cofffee. It is bad, and I spend way too much money on various coffee drinks when i am on campus.

I think we often have manic periods at the same time! I guess that's good, as we can relate to each other & help each other out :) & I wouldn't freak out too much about the foreign language requirement if I were you. I guess it depends on where you go to grad school, but I basically only had to translate a page from French to English, & then one from English to French. But I didn't get a PhD, & I imagine those language exams would be harder. But the MA one wasn't too bad. I know my sister in law has a double PhD and had to be fluent in 2 non-English languages, both written and orally. At least mine was only written.
& My friends & I saw The Celluloid Closet at The Magic Lantern back in high school & I remember how we all loved it.
Love to you, dearheart! xo

Yeah...I was thinking about that earlier. this manic phase came out of nowhere. usually I feel like i have some warning. I thought i was doing pretty good. It has been pretty tame...no bad mania. I haven't charged up a bunch on my credit card or slept with a bunch of people. that happened last year about this time, and it was really bad.
The Celluloid Closet is all kinds of awesome.
love to you!

& I totally wish I had some warning when my moods are going to shift. It's frustrating not to. Really hard. & Yeah, I'm the same way- my mania used to make me do things I shouldn't, & I still spend too much & sometimes do some dangerous stuff when I'm manic, but now I've managed to channel it into slightly more productive things, at least.
love to you! xoxo
