i got the job... i start the day after labor day. my paychecks will be more than twice as much, and in addition to that, i can get monthly bonuses. i hate pb... i cannot keep my mouth shut when i feel as though a situation is unjust.
i have been cramming for the lsats, kam has been tutoring me pro bono. we have been spending a lottttt of time together and he's teaching me a lot of math i should've learned years ago. i have to schedule my test but right now my list of schools to apply to:
1) boston university***
2) mcgill (in montreal)
3) london school of economics

took a short vacation and it helped me gain a better perspective on everything. there were some hiccups and i plan on burnign a couple familial bridges, as such has been in the making adn the straw that broke the camel's back would be their leaving my sister and i without a place to stay when part of the trip was predicated on my staying with them - how does a grown woman do that to her two young nieces? it worked out well because we eneded up staying in boston for a day, but it was quite stressful, having to find a place to stay on short notice.
i am, however, more relaxed. i have been too social and not productive enough lately. i have been working towards the gre's, i have a plan in motion, and while i plan to work diligently towards it, i am not driving myself nuts. as for socially; some of the people i socialize with in rochester are immatture and i need to space myself from them, but i should not be melancholy about this as i have more than enough friends. one of my supposed 'friends' actually sabotaged the job i presnetly hold, by starting a rumor about me with the manager - is this junior high? i was not that angry when i got to the bottom of the issue because i realized that was a sign that i work with morons that suffer from arrested development, and i should strive for higher because...i can. i am trying to get a job with better pay, i know which city i want need to live in... and it works out well because that's where the only two american schools that have my program are located. |

much has happened in the last three weeks. i am finally buckling down on my work and while i still have much to do, i am seeing the content of my courses take shape. i am still unsure of what i'm doing in the future, but a masters in global development policy looks highly likely.
i have also learned that no matter how open minded i try to be, and how much i try to understand another culture, sometimes their are cultural gaps that are just impossible to bridge. i love my boys, but i am sick of apologizing for being a woman that stands up for herself.
i have been working a lot, at tops, lately. i complain about tops, as if its the bane of my exisitence, but i love my coworkers and management, so really, as for as work goes, yea, i like it. i needed to cut back my hours so i could get more schoolwork done, and that is what i'm doing. i have also when working to rekindle old friendships, and things are falling into place.
and... i am probably going to bonnaroo. yes. |

this hurts more than i thought it would. i feel like no matter what, i always fall back into the same patterns, and it scares me. i am legitimately fearful of a future in which i am perpetually lonely, and as a result, depressed. |

the bad news? i'm back in albany tomorrow. i have a lot to do - checking on my independent studies and getting my paperwork in order. i have the lsats next saturday... i've done little to prepare so i am going to cram like crazy this week.
the good news? i get to albany tomorrow... and 11 days later i move home. he'll be home then. we need to figure things out. actually, i am not the confused one, so i do not need to figure anything out. nor does he, he just needs to grow a spine. |

i have all the paperwork for next semester in, and everything is getting sorted out. the thesis, an independent study with audrey on the history of the portrayal of poverty in america, and another independent study with the head of the film dept. on films concerning the favelas (he's a latin american film afficianado and he said since i'm already doing my thesis on favelas, i should already have some excellent research).
problems with the boy; will update about that later |

halloween was pretty ridiculous. in a good way. except for when i had to clean up. the boys visited ... they were here by 3am, and we were already gone... but their extremely late arrival rejuvenated the party, to say the least. made a bagel run at 630, and got a dozen bagels and 2 tubs of cream cheese for free. i was a 45 year old drunken cougar... and for the first time in years, i assembled a costume... and my halloween went pretty well.
i've gotten a lot done this week; i've had to figure out the next semester situation. 8 credits for my thesis, and the seminar will only meet approximately 6 wednesdays next semester for an hour and a half. 3 credits will be an independent study in film on social conscience films (poverty in america)... the other 3 credits will be another independent study. yes, i'm moving back to rochester... i am not paying $6,000 to live with 2 guidettes that sing "party all the time" (eddie murphy) at 2 am in the common room at the top of their lungs on a tuesday evening... nor do i want to live with an antisocial mole that slams doors and ignores me for weeks at a time if i wish to have a small gathering on a friday night. i will only meet for class 6 times throughout next semester (as opposed to say... 10 times a week [among my 5 different classes]times 15...this semester).
put in my 2 weeks (really... 8 days because the ' 2weeks cuts into a week i'm taking off for thxgiving) a work today. it was glorious. called in sick because i was legitimately exhausted the other day (4 hours of sleep regularly... + waking up at 6am wednesday to drive to utica, go to court [only for a speeding ticket] + class until 830 pm... yea)... needless to say, my manager left a really nasty/threatening note in plain view of all of my coworkers... because i called in sick.
this is the first weekend in the last 7 that i haven't seen him... we've been visiting each other, went to boston,etc. the good news is gross (my best friend that graduated in may/i haven't seen since labor day) is here this weekend! i am the only one in the apartment this weekend, and mike is visiting... this should be a good night.
i'd touch on the election, but there is nothing to say. i can't believe that the first time i voted, i am happy with the results. there is nothing greater than the fact that our generation finally cares... |

was dreading albany. until i realized next weekend = mike and karin visiting. karin visiting = wine + mr. condon. and there is a really slight (25%) chance another very important visitor will be there. i am so pumped for next weekend. i miss mike and karin so much. |

the other night, a group of us went to seabreeze and made a trip to the beach from there. it was an enjoyable night.
i was invited to spend the night at the beach tonight, but i decided against it because i'm sick of being up all night and sleeping through the early afternoon. i know that if i went, i would have had the greatest time... but the idea of driving back from their place at day break wasn't something i wanted to do for the 3rd time in like... 5 days. i don't know what we will do tomorrow... maybe park ave fest.
