Personal statement is 90% done for both schools. I just need an opening.

Check back Saturday, when these things will be done and I can resume my normal WoW-playing existence. I need to go shopping, too- I think it's funny (and kind of cute) that everyone in my family almost always asks for piles and piles of books.

For some reason, I'm in this last-minute flailing panic over my personal statement for grad school. The first two- Wisconsin and Berkeley- are due Friday (electronically submitted- thank you, Internets) so I definitely have more time to work on it and tweak stuff. For some reason, though, I just kind of went into this oh-my-God-my head is going to ( Read more... )

After making the previous freaked-out post, I got ready for bed. Guess what I remembered as I was tucking myself in?
It's very hard to drive away with a car that won't start.

Fell asleep quite easily after that.
(Turned out it actually was the battery. ETA: sometime tomorrow.)

• Discover major fuckup I made at work. Spend most of the week fixing it. (BTW, when I finish this project once and for all, there will be champagne and maybe bonfires.)
  
• Deliver recomendation form three days late to boss; have him snark at ( Read more... )

Exciting things that have happened to me lately:
1) Purchased The Hedonism Handbook. Expect more red wine, cheese, and accomplished napping around these parts.
2) Ordered, among other things, nunchucks for tae kwon do. Also a bo staff.
3) Hit level 60 with Sedna in World of Warcraft. Celebrated by turning in quests for big money; also got attuned to ( Read more... )

There were two reasons Saix usually didn’t fall asleep on the couch. He remembered the first one at six twenty-two that morning, when the sun drilled a hole through the blinds and directly into his corneas.

Dear Xaldin-
Stop deluging me with stories about your awesome spears and your weird codominant relationship with Xemnas.
Why?
Because then, instead of studying for the GREs like I desperately need to do, I spend an evening writing Xaldin!fic THAT IS SO BAD AS TO BE UNPUBLISHABLE

Sincerely, Merg.

p.s. I blame kytha.
