Unfortunately, I have some bad news. Instead of being accepted to Grad School, I was not. The only reason that I could conjecture as a possible explanation was that not all of my admissions materials arrived on time, and the only reason that this could have happened centers around the FAFSA. Anyways, no matter the reason, I am now not soon to be grad school bound. Instead, my plans are now focused on moving to Cambride/Boston to join Chuck. This, of course, is on the condition that we agree to live together again (we had a bit of a disagreement last night.)

So, basically, my life at this moment is in a kind of limbo-state. I have recently had both of the foundations of my life's direction either shattered of shaken, and I don't know what to do about it. I feel that my life is going in a direction that it can't keep. I'll end up crashing hard when it stops momentum. I don't want to crash.

A year comes and a year goes.

It's almost been a year since my last post, not that anyone reads these silly things or even cares, but I enjoy this time of reflection. So here goes another.


I now work as a temp at the Texas Gas Transmissions Office in Owensboro. "What?" some of you say, "A different job??? What happened to the job with the kiddos?" Well, quite frankly, I was burnt out. Being burnt out alone would not stop me from such fullfilling work, however. I left the job after over a year of dedication mainly because I was being forced into a power struggle with my supervisor. Don't get me wrong, supervisors have all kinds of power over their employees, but some of them get off on having power and "flexing" their power over their subordinates. This is why I said "Good Day, Ma'am." and walked away. I do miss my kids, though.

Being as my current job is less involving as well as less financially sound, I also moonlight as a bartender at a local bar. I really enjoy the work, and I've learned a lot about tending a bar. In short, it's kinda cool - except for the old drunks that fall down and piss all over themselves in the bathroom. Yeah, that's not so fun.

As for love, man am I ever in it. Chuck and I have been going for 5 1/2 years now. That's a long time, isn't it? He's now studying for his MLA (see previous post) at HARVARD!!! I'm dating a genius!!!! How cool is that? He's been really stressed lately what with all the school work and the demands of normal life and all, and I'd be remiss not to say that that has a somewhat negative effect on our conversations, but everything seems to be going well.
