What's new?

I'm bored.

I've spent the past couple months balancing my job with Delta events and working on graduate schools applications. Now that the new line has crossed and I've finished my graduate school applications - all detailed 16 of them - I find myself at a crossroads and that place is well...a little boring.

I'm used to being stressed and called upon to do so many things at once that I don't know how to react when I get a downtime. So I've been looking for a second job, something part time, maybe 5-9pm on weekdays or a little freelance writing gig. I haven't been able to find anything much and I'm a little disappointed, but hopefully something will come up. I'm tired of just being subjected to the usual rounds of copywriting and editing, though interesting, it's obviously not what I'm called to do forever.

Anyway, these are the schools I applied to. In no particular order:

University of Iowa
Indiana University
Purdue University
University of Notre Dame
Southern Illinois University
University of Michigan
University of Minnesota
Vanderbilt University
Washington University, St. Louis
University of Virginia
Virginia Commonwealth University
Virginia Tech University
Louisiana State University
University of New Orleans
University of Alabama
Penn State University

I think that's the first time, I've been able to recite all of them like that. Last night, I was talking to Ross and tried to do it and could only hit 10. Ouch!

Ross, too, is applying to schools. The same ones -minus Washington and Southern Ill.; in their place, he's inserted UMass and Irvine.

Well I'm just feeling out this whole process. I have some scholarship applications to write, but...what do I do now?

Even work has slowed done. I'm still working on managing the program, but since students are going away for break and stuff soon, things are a little slow.

Weird.
