whew... fuckin whew..... 1 down, 6 to go 

i just finished my first application 8 minutes ago. i was being pretty cool, calm, and collected about it up until it started to get closer to 11 pm. then i started to have a freak out because the website was loading so slow (probably because of the other hundreds of procrastinators such as myself who were trying to apply last minute) so i couldn't preview my application. our adobe on our computer is handicapped so i couldn't see it and finally i said "screw it" and just submitted it anyway. that's a big $60 spent on something that I couldn't even see (i could review it, just not in .pdf format), but whatever. what other choice did i have? but at least it's over. now i can relax. my next one is due in 2 and a half weeks. less to worry about, but i shouldn't wait till the last minute because the next one is due 4 days after that one. geez, this whole thing is a big fatty pain in the ARSE. but i have to remember "it's worth it... it's worth it... it's worth it." someday, i can possibly look back at this nightmare and chuckle. yes, i was done with 40 minutes to spare. now that's professional procrastination if i ever did see it.

this week should be fun. tomorrow is lord of the rings at 12:01am on wednesday morning. we're probably going to get in line around 8pm. i asked the girl when we picked up our tickets today what time she suggested we get in line and she said a couple hours earlier and i told her that i was just curious because we actually watched the midnight showing for the 2nd movie, so i pretty much knew what time we had to be there. lol. at least this year, andy will be able to go with me cause last time i waited here for toto (cause i didn't want to be the loser going there alone) and he was late. but me and andy can hang out there until toto and kyle get there. BTW, we have an extra ticket. does anyone want it?

anyway, on wednesday we're gonna go to the sneak preview of mona lisa smile. and on thursday i'm meeting some girlfriends for happy hour. oooh, to plan ahead like this just makes it feel like this week will go by fast. i hope so! i'm gonna go relax now because that applying thing was tough on the noggin. peace out fellow hobbits. :)
