March 19, 1999. Friday
Well, I haven't heard from
my grad school yet, so I decided after talking with Berry
to just email them and get it over with. But i like the idea of having
something to wait for. It helps me get through the day. So after
this, I really won't have much to wait for. Oh well.
So I
was the only one in the office till about 11:30 today. So of course it
was kinda busy. But order has been restored. Not much else
to report. I can't seem to remember much of what i did yesterday after
work. I know i went home, and tried to take a nap. I was only
asleep for a few minutes, but i think i was continuing my trend of unpleasant
dreams. I was driving my car over these little rocks. much like the
rocks in the parking lot that I park in eery day, when my car suddenly
felt like it had hit a huge hole, and I lost control. I actually
didn't see what happened, but i heard it and i felt it. It was weird,
becuase at that precise moment, the phone rang. Maybe the phone ringing
was what triggered the crash in my dream.
Anyway,
the phone was of course for Berry. I only use the phone at night, usually
after Berry's gone to bed. I feel obligated to do things that don't
involve her after she's tunred in for the night. She goes to bed
so early that I feel like i should take advantage of her actually being
up and hang out with her. Which is fine by me the only people that
I call usually aren't in until late anyway, since they're mostly still
in college or in California. Anyway, the call was from Jason Myers,
Berry's BFLOABT. But not in the same sense that Rodzilla
is my GFLOABT. Maybe when he wasn't in Chicago, it was more similar,
but now that he's in a different timezone, I guess the relationship is
more strained. But he's coming to visit some friends and undoubtedly
Berry next Tuesday. We'll see how things go. Once you've "done stuff"
with someone, it's pretty hard not to go back to doing stuff. Especially
if there hasn't been significant changes in the relationship status of
either individual. Or any changes, for that matter.
Well, not much else is coming
to mind. But i'm sure there'll be some down time later that will fill my
head with stupid shit. But in the meantime, theNouns
Used Frequently by G-Rock page has been updated. So check it out already.
1:55- So I heard back from the grad school person,
and I guess the application deadline was on the 15th. So they won't
be deciding for a little while. Some have already been mailed, most likely
to those getting some kind of scholarship or fellowship. So there
go a few spots. She said she'd let me know informally by email when
the decision was made since the letters can take a few weeks. Now
i feel worse than i did before. At least before i had this deadline hanging
over me. But now the axe is just hanging there, adn could drop unexpectedly
at any moment. Oh well, at least it'll keep me on my toes.
Everything is a pleasant surprise when you're constantly expecting the
worst.
