And You Wait...
We sacrifice much for the things we really want.

For this dream of graduate school, I have sacrificed so much-

Sleep, for sure;
Money, in fees and tuition;
My routine, my friends, my sense of normality, and above all-
my relationships.

Men have never been my forte, but this graduate school pursuit, with all its intrinsic uncertainty, has made the men in my life cut and run, act out, and budding relationships never even start to flower. It's hard to experience when people don't support you.

And right now, I wait, for the acceptances and the rejections. For the "next." It's almost like holding your breath- it is holding your breath. I am suspended.

I am hoping it's all worth it, in the end. It probably will be. But with nothing else to do but wait...

on my end...you're preachin' to the chior!

The only reason I have ANY type of social life is the fact that I met Amanda before I started and married her during summer break!

I haven't seen my non-slam friends since new year's and I finally saw my folks for the first time in weeks last weekend for an hour.

That sucks...why do we do this again? Thank goodness you met Amanda before, and she has to be a saint, because this grind (and the upcoming grind-to-be) is hell on a new romance. I can't imagine how it impacts a new marriage!

Hopefully though, I'll be out of town and not guilty for not being able to see family and friends. :) And you'll just have to come visit me.

I have been known to do it too!

Sorry I missed the B-Day bash, I always enjoy the hell out of those things!

That, and I've been craving Harry's Pizza like MAD!
