The Dateable Dork

So here’s the rub (mmmmm… rub…): although the CA school was amazing, the school that I absolutely fell in love with is the one here in the northeast.  Hello???  What happened to my big plans to move to the west coast and bask in the sunshine while hot surfer dudes fetched me a margarita?  What [...]

I’m home!  I had planned on checking in this past weekend, but my whirlwind travel plans left me pretty sleepy and I never made it to the blog.  Oh well!  I actually went on two grad school visits – the one in CA last week, and one here in the northeast early this week.  Craziness!  [...]

Well my dears, the time has come.  I will be going on my first grad school campus visit this week – ahhhh!  So exciting, especially because it’s allllllllll the way out on the west coast (far away from this crappy/snowy/rainy weather we’ve been having in New York) in the magical world of sunny California.  Pacific [...]

I came down with a stomach bug on Monday night and have been home sick for the past two days.  Ugh.  Why have I been getting so sick this winter?  It’s getting to the point where I’m going to have to take time off without pay for my upcoming grad school visits because I’m really [...]

Everything all of a sudden seems so REAL now that I’m holding the 100% official — signed by the dean of the graduate school – acceptance letter and fellowship offer in my hands.  On university letterhead.  In a nice shiny folder.  With dollar signs and a little box to check “accept” and give them my social [...]

This weekend I went ice skating for the first time in, oh, about 15 years.  Dudes, it was awesome!  I was really into in-line skating as a teenager, and all my old moves came rushing back, only this time, on the ice.  I think in-line skating and ice skating are pretty similar, for a completely amaetur recreationist [...]

Remember a few weeks ago when I got a completely random and heart-stopping email from the five-year BF?  Well, I’ve been letting it fester in my inbox for a few weeks while I pondered the situation.  First I had to get over the shock of receiving such an email in the first place, then I [...]

Happy V-Day, everyone!  : )  In honor of yet another Valentine’s Day as a single woman, I’m going grocery shopping, paying bills, watching the Olympics, and having dinner with a friend (another single woman).  How romantic, right?  Ha.  Am I bitter?  Maybe a little.  Have I been rolling my eyes at all the cheesy V-Day [...]

Today was a craaaaaazy busy day at work, which kinda sucked because I have a bunch of plans to make and no time to make them.  Geez.  Doesn’t my boss know that I have more important things to do during the day than work??  Hahahaha.  Anyway, get a load of the exciting plans being made this [...]

I woke up this morning pondering what to do with my wide-open Saturday, and lo and behold, it turned out to be a pretty freaking awesome day.  Actually, it was completely and amazingly awesome, to be perfectly honest.  My face literally hurts from smiling so much.  I am a happy DD tonight!!!!  : )
Awesome thing #1: [...]
