Recent Doings
It's recently been called to my attention that I have gone for almost a month without a new entry here, so although I don't get much traffic, this is for those of you who still visit my place. Here's a glimpse into what's been going on in the mind of this mad woman recently.
1. I have come to the realization that I am so horribly disappointed with the fact that I may not be able to minor in French, as I had previously planned to do, that I can't even express it. I've had disappointments in my life, many of them, and it feels silly to put this one at the top of the list, but this ranks right up there with not getting the train set I asked for one Christmas. It is still theoretically possible for me to be able to minor in French, but it looks like I would have to actually go to France to do so; a prospect that, frankly, scares the hell out of me. I want to go to France almost more than anything in the world, but alone? With no one to commiserate with about my lack of ability to communicate? Hmmm, much more thought on this one is needed. And the fear aside, it would mean leaving my kids, my boyfriend and my friends for an extended period of time, along with the fact that it is almost prohibitively expensive. But it is something to think about. Updates as they happen on this front.
2. Grad school is another issue weighing heavily on my mind these days. I know that I want to go, I just don't know where. I want to go somewhere prestigious, as I have (perhaps) delusions of grandeur, but there are many prestigious schools in the country, and picking the right one is a very, very big decision. The problem is, I don't really know how to pick a grad school, nor do I really know where to begin. With only 2 years left until I graduate with my bachelor's, I have some decisions to make on this front, and I need to get moving on it. I only have about a year before I need to start applying. /sigh!
There are a few other assorted odds and ends sucking up valuable brain space right now, such as the prospect of getting married...again, but until that becomes a reality and not just a prospect, I try not to worry about it too much. Try I said, but with me, that means I only worry about it part of the time instead of all of the time.
Anyway, that's what has been racing through my mind recently. I hope this satisfies the curious.

You posted, woo hoo!!! Okay so now that that's out of the way...
I hate to see you so disappointed on the French front. It sucks that she decided to stop doing it right now, but she has a lot on her plate. Going to France, scary! I wish I could go with you, if you go that is, but I just don't think I can do it. Matt & lack of money are not a good combo.
Grad school: You'll get this one figured out. You'll apply and get into an awesome school. You don't have delusions of granduer (though I apparently have delusions that I can spell). You're brilliant and you'll figure it out.
Okay, my whole two cents...
Loves ya,
