failure and family, all easily interchangable

I heard from Chicago yesterday. I didn't really plan on going there anyway, so getting a thin envelope and reading the "unfortunately..." sentence didn't really hurt this time. They were also a lot nicer about things than U of M. U of M made me feel like less of a person for even applying; Chicago offered for me to come and speak with the admissions comittee on what I can do to improve for next year, although I already know what they're gonna say. 4 more dental schools to go and 2 more hygiene before I know what's going on 3 months from now. I'm probably moving by then too. We're not sure where yet, but B-town is looking like a good idea right now. TJ just went there for a grad school "please come to our school" type thing, and sounded really impressed by the city, the people, and above all the program. I still have to hear from that one, but I have two apps sitting there, so the odds of it working out are better than M. I should be studying for my anat and phys test right now, but I really don't feel like it. It's so bad that I even got up on the 2nd from the top rung, you know the "DO NOT STEP HERE" one on a rickety old wooden ladder, just to change the foyer's 6 burnt out lightbulbs. My mother has been neglecting her maintenance stuff so I'm stuck doing it. She even made me put her renewal sticker on her license plate. IT'S A FREAKING STICKER!!! She decided to ditch me tonight to have dinner and hang out with her ex-boy Jimbo. This morning we had a little falling out. She was blaring her radio at 7am while I'm trying to sleep. I have a friend who will refuse to talk to you for the rest of the day if you wake him up before noon, so me wanting a little quiet to sleep at 7 is nothing by comparison. Mom sounded so condescending towards me. I offered her a really easy way to fix it, and her alternative was to repeat the scenario next Sunday, only this time I have to pay attention to what time it is and where in the house (on the floor above me, mind you) she is with the radio at the time. Blink, Blink. Does this sound like a normal thing to anyone else? I didn't think so. 3 months can't come soon enough...
