look alive, team... look alive
i just called neneng, and i probably shouldn't have. i called neneng to check up on our loan and it wasn't the news i wanted so now i'm aggravated, when just two seconds ago, i was feeling jumpy cause i know we're gonna have to get our butts in gear to get this moving thing over and done with, and that was really the only thing on my mind... now, i'm peeved cause this crap is going down. piece of crap.
i don't really have alot to talk about, i just wanted to blog cause i know i probably won't have a chance to tonight, or that i will even want to. we started primering neng and ronald's house last night, and today, ronald's family is painting. i think a good majority of their stuff will be moving there tonight in which case, me and andy have to move all our stuff into the living room, and start the prep painting stuff on the two rooms. i have all day tomorrow which will be good, but it will probably be just me by myself. that's alright, me and meya can kick it as long as she doesn't mess me up... the dog has been known to walk around with paint splashes on her back cause she insists on getting in the way. funny mutt.
i have been doing some serious grad school research lately. it feels good to be able to say "yep, that sounds like a good place to go" or "nope, can't go there" cause people ask me all the time where i'm looking to go and my standard answer is "umm.... i'm actually looking at a few different places right now" which in my speak means "i haven't the damndest idea cause i LAG." but people don't know that. a school i was looking at today has two really good programs that sound interesting, so i feel happy that i can at least say that i will most likely be applying there among other places. i'm really OCD organized about this search.... i've got an excel spreadsheet and everything. i've got a book of programs, a notebook that i've made notes about each school that is a potential then my spreadsheet will be like an easy-look kinda deal that breaks everything down to where exactly the school is, their programs, degrees offered, application deadlines and fees, application supplements, and just about anything else you can think of when you need to make a decision. i just figured there would be about a billion different schools and i wouldn't remember which deadline went to which school, which schools had the research i'm interested in, or how much tuition was for each school. i'm really feeling on the ball. either that, or i'm making this alot more complicated than it needs to be. sometimes it makes me crazy that i don't have anyone that can kind of lead my way thru this whole process, but at least i have alot of people at the lab now that have been through it so i can ask them questions if i need to. alot of the time i wish i knew all this stuff WHILE i was in college and i went straight to graduate school, but i didn't know what the hell i was doing back then. well, it is almost time to leave work. yippee... i get the day off tomorrow, but i'll be working my butt off at home. at least i can work my butt off and not have to wear nice clothes. there's a plus. alright... i know the hard work is gonna start when i get home. ready team??? BREAK.
