I have decided when it's mixed with coconut rum and lime juice it makes a very potent but fabulous drink. Two of those later and I was having a warm all over feeling... maybe warm enough to the idea that this year is a year for getting my shit together more than it will be about getting into a relationship.
See here's the inside track on my life - I have one degree completed and another almost complete and those are incredibly long stories in and of themselves. Needless to say I realized over the Christmas holiday that I have some dreams I need to pursue to their end - whether anything becomes of them or not. Graduate school - primarily a PhD is the very end goal. I have a plan and I have a game plan to get Ms. J to come with me, in theory. She wants her PhD too, just in a completely different program, and being that we are compatible studiers I figure why not press each other onto our respective goals... so this year includes quitting work - and I've ALWAYS worked since I was 15. Going to school full time (20 credits left and one audited English class), writing the GRE which if it is anything like the MCAT I might just shoot myself, and last but not least apply for the top 7 of my area American schools and 3 Canadian schools, the UNPeace school, and two non-profit related MBA type programs. Now why you might ask, well I don't want to waste a year, I want options and I know that while the later aren't my first choice I do still find those areas fascinating and I know I need to be practical...
So will there be boys on the agenda. This is S&P we are discussing, there will ALWAYS be boys on the agenda, question is if it's just about the looking or more.
Tonight's music selection from An Education, an amazing beautiful movie and Duffy is fabulous, see her in concert if you can.
Here's to a BIG step towards your future.
ReplyDeleteAnd here's to pursuing dreams!
And here's to the GRE being less of a monster than the MCAT!
And here's to Tequila-rum-lime!
And here's to...me falling off of my chair!
Stupid MCAT I swear and I did that it was some kind of torture tool - what the hell does an 8 hour exam under those circumstances, and in a room with no windows in August and stale warm air prove? Oh you can jump when they say jump and survive - meh it took me a week by a pool in Vegas to begin to feel normal after it and all for nothing in the end. Guess I get to say in the end I was the last sitting of the written exam...
ReplyDeleteBut YES, YES to the future, as to that drink again, well I don't know if it was the combo of what I ate, but I am seriously dehydrated this morning. Meh. Good drink glad I navigated away from regular Cosmopolitan at the restaurant that we go to after a movie in the part of the downtown
