In Which I Pick Up, Amplify, and Relinquish Several Habits

Operation Job

Status: Complete

I'm supposed to start this week. I have not heard anything yet as to when to report. I am not complaining. As that fateful day approaches, though, I find myself more and more anxious. The pressure to excel is enormous. Any sort of free time is devoured, and my feelings are so hurt. For example: Mayer Hawthorne is going on tour this fall. Despite being from Ann Arbor, there is one Michigan tour date scheduled. Its in Grand Rapids. ON A WEDNESDAY. Obviously, this does not please me. There's a Chicago date, but could I make a weekend of it? Nooooooooooo, that has to be on a wednesday or thursday too. Whomp whomp.

I used today to (mostly) study for the GRE. It has been decided that all I need in order to ace the verbal portion is access to a good dictionary (preferably not an OED, that sucker is huuuuuuuuuge).

I haven't started studying for math yet. This is what I should be doing, instead of watching Ally McBeal and cruising the internet for social oddities. Words I can do, its the numbers that fuck things up.

Speaking of fucked up, how I've made it two years in one relationship is beyond me. Something's gotta be right about it, otherwise we would have been done long ago. I'm happy, he's happy, we're happy. The last few weeks have been pretty hurdle-y due to being the listening ear to two breakups, bitchy friends, and the inevitable insecurity that sets in because of them. However, in the words of Ben Folds "I can't wait until the future gets here".

Yes, I have been shopping pink ssapphires again.

Now I want to listen to Sting's Brand New Day album.

And could you please stop judging me for being excited for The Social Network? I blame Kanye West. It comes out this friday and I couldn't be more excited.

Sometimes the best things come out of the worst ones.
