So I turned in my grad school application last week.
I’ve been checking my application status online every day since. It’s not like I expected a decision that afternoon. I’m just anxious.
Called yesterday to see how long it takes to get a decision verify that the school had received all my application materials. The woman I talked to said it takes about a week.
So I wait.

mpriestly:
They don’t hate you. They don’t have the time to actively hate you. If you are a constant bother in class, they will likely dislike your behaviour but when they have 100+ students to deal with in a day you are the least of their worries. Stop being so self-centered.
They do an incredible amount of work. More work than you can imagine. What you see in class is nothing. There are...

Why I can't stand The Hunger Games

Spoilers for the entire plot of all three books. Warning you now. Super spoilers.
The Good
Okay, so. First off let me start with some of the things I liked. I like Katniss (for the first two books). I like that she’s smart and decisive and accidentally/occasionally charming and suspicious and ruthless and cruel and wonderful. I like that she’s extraordinary and she doesn’t...

I have two rules when buying DVDs:
I must have already seen the movie/TV show.
I must be willing to watch the movie again.
For example:
Away We Go. I’ve seen it. I rewatch it on a semi-regular basis. This is an acceptable purchase.
How I Met Your Mother. I’ve seen it. I repeatedly rewatch it. This is an acceptable purchase.
Black Swan. I’ve seen it. I don’t intend to watch it again EVER. This is not an...
