Replacing anger with awesomeness
After several days of feeling absolutely awful, tonight I’m feeling recharged, re-energized, and rejuvenated. Why, you ask? Well, I came home from work today to two exciting little packages that reminded me that I have much more exciting, productive, and important things to do with my life than mourn the loss of an extremely hot but extremely disturbed jackass.Â
Package #1: My official GRE scores. I already knew my math and verbal scores from the day of the exam, but today I finally got my writing score. And, my dears, I am quite pleased. QUITE pleased. : ) In fact, I was so fucking excited that I did a happy dance around my apartment and immediately called my mom. Hahaha. I did much better than I expected and – truth be told – got a 6.0 out of 6.0. Well shit then. : )
Package #2: My official transcripts from grad school (the first time around). This wasn’t as earth-shatteringly exciting as the GRE writing score, but it reminded me that I totally kicked ass in grad school and am really looking forward to going back. Plus, having the hard copy transcripts in my hands makes the application process all the more real for me and reminds me that I need to stop sulking and get cracking.
Also, now that it’s been a few days, the shock of the bullshit with David is finally fading away, and I think I’m emerging from the haze. Geez, what a fucking loser! Why do I waste my time and energy on him? Whatever, I don’t have time to worry about that anymore, as my applications are waiting for my undivided attention. I’m really happy and rather impressed with myself that I seem to be shaping up to be a DAMN good candidate, which will hopefully translate into some big fat acceptance packages in the spring. We’ll see. : )
In other news, I am still wearing my hair curly and letting it air dry in the mornings, which is proving to be quite the chilly experience now that the weather is cooling down. I’m waiting for the hair icicles to start forming… perhaps I can fling them at annoying coworkers?
You know what would cheer you up? Posting some hot sexy photos of yourself. You always seem excited when you do that
.
And congrats on the GRE scores. I wish you’d never be hard on yourself. It is 100% obvious to anyone who reads this blog and has seen a glimpse of you, that you are going to make someone’s jaw drop. You are more hot and cultured than Denise Huxtable. If I were dumpster diving and came across someone as articulate and driven as you, I’d stop in my tracks. Don’t give a jigawatt of energy to these losers.

Honey – I hope you’re right – who knows what the future holds! At least I’m guaranteed to meet some guys with college degrees, which is more than I can say for my dumpster diving adventures – ha!
Andrew – You betcha! Academic ass kicking is my mutant power.
