File under "TMI"
But goodness gracious, when it’s “that time of the month” I eat like I’m about to go get adult onset type 2 diabetes.
I am normally a trooper when it comes to resisting cookies and other sugary pastries (except ice cream) but every week of every month, I eat all the cookies in the house. Now it also doesn’t help that mama went out to Costco and bought 3 large...
uh huh
However, the cynic in me says that they all say nice things like “you are among the top candidates” so they don’t get bombarded with emails and phone calls and bribes and threats.
Well Georgetown, thanks for kind of stroking my...
Dear Jenna, Thank you for your email. Thank you also for letting us know of your interest for remaining on the priority wait list. Admitted candidates will have until April 15th to confirm their admissions decisions. Once this date passes, we’ll have a better idea of how many candidates we’ll be able to accept from the priority wait list. In the days following this deadline,...

Ta da!
So I ordered this new exercise book and there are exercises that call for “valslides” which are also known as gliding discs. As the name states, they’re these circle things that help you glide around the floor. They’re also bloody expensive.
But!!!
In yoga, we use a boughetto version of this gliding disc (to work our cores) and can you guess what that is????

cat lady woes:
when your cat wants to be held after she pees but she got some pee on her belly and it smells but she’s so cute and won’t stop purring so you have to endure the stench of cat urine.
oh and after she leaves, you can still smell the stench of feline urine because it’s probably rubbed off on the shirt you’re wearing.

oh jesus
so basically, I used the whole “I’m Asian and I’m gonna do Asian studies” thing and applied to a lot of schools. The plan was to then go into something more interesting.
Um, now I’m realizing maybe this was a bad plan of attack.
Goddamn why the hell did I think this was a good idea?
An analysis of why I was (priority) wait-listed:
I realized that being Asian isn’t really quite enough to get into an “Asian Studies” program anywhere.
1) I really never took any Asia related courses. I once took a History of Korea class taught by a very sweet Korean professor. A professor whose English was so horrible no one understood her. I mean it might have been better if she spoke in Korean (as she did during office...

so it begins...
Was placed on the “priority waitlist” for Georgetown’s Asian Studies program.
And WTF is a priority waitlist?
Confession:
I love the week after Valentine’s day because all the candy goes on sale!
OH NOESSSSS
I can feel my muscles turning back into fat (or whatever muscles become after you don’t do strength training for a while).
It’s not that I forgot how to do the exercises the personal trainer showed me, it’s just really awkward to do strength training in the gym where there are hairy, burly, sweaty, smelly men grunting and making noises like they’re giving birth to a German...
and then i'm hit with the reality:
despite my longing to be back in academia, i just realized: sometimes all i really want is to become a housewife sans the kids or husband. sort of like martha stewart without the prison sentence. i’ll be happy with some cats, some dogs, some blythe dolls, some le creuset dutch ovens, some yarn, some vinho verde and other bits and bobs.
i just wanna raise and groom a nice pedigree dog and...
the professor: so have you heard back from the schools?
j: NO I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT
the professor: well I guess it's too soon anyway.
j: you know what's bizarre? People who get into SAIS and Georgetown sometimes get rejected by GWU or Tufts. I mean how am I supposed to gauge my admissions chances based on that?
the professor: I know, once I got into Harvard and Stanford Law but got rejected by Georgetown.
j: is that statement supposed to make me feel better?
Wooo hoo
Going on a date tonight… it’ll be at Whole Foods.
Go on a date, eat dinner and grocery shop. Kill multiple birds with one stone!
I’m obviously very ready for this grad school bullshit.
Filing Taxes
This shit is too fucking difficult. I didn’t make a lot of money last year and I just need to file the fucking thing so I can send in my FAFSA by Saturday so I can go to grad school for another 2 years to delay “THE REAL WORLD” because ‘THE REAL WORLD” can go and DIE while I prance around in academia.
OKAY?
okay.
