sideways progress
Things have been getting different lately. Not better, not worse, just different.
On the homefront, I've come up with a better response for when people ask me how living with my mom is going, "Well, my roommate is inconsiderate, and my mom is nowhere to be found." I think that sums it up pretty well. She said to me recently "I am always here for you." to which I replied, "...unless you're at your boyfriend's house." Nothing really new there, just mom being her man-needy self.
As for grad schools, I now know I have been rejected from 4 out of the 6 schools I've applied to. M told me they have a pile 93 apps they're looking at and deciding on by the end of the month, and I'm one of 'em. He said one of 3 letters will be sent out: yes, no, or alternate list. This morning while getting ready, I realized the fact that I couldn't get a yes letter from them; I haven't interviewed there. From what I gathered everywhere, those who got in interviewed first. Which means I'm either getting a no or being stuck into the other purgatory: alternate list. TJ and I have talked a lot about where we're going this August, and unless by some miracle I get an acceptance letter to M, I think we're heading out east. I called the hygiene school I applied to out there and they said I'll hear within the next 2-3 weeks. TJ needs to tell his grad schools where he'll be going before then. He applied to all of his schools after me and got accepted into all of them before I heard my first rejection from the first dent school. Gee, don't I feel great. I'm holding him back because these schools don't send rejection letters soon enough.
Either way, I'm getting ready to move. Whether it be to M or out east, or another option just came up from the south, I want to go. I'm really worried about affording things right now, but I know it will all work out somehow. I should stop in at my bank and ask how loans work, etc. because I don't have a clue. If I am in school next fall, I'll need one anyway, and I'm wondering even if I'm not in school that maybe I should get one so we can survive until I get a decent career off the ground, whatever that may be. My biggest fear is that TJ and I end up like my family and fight over money all the time. There's no evidence to show that that will be the case, but after seeing my parents do that while I was growing up, I don't want it to repeat with me.
I'm visiting TJ's family right now while on spring break. I love being surrounded by family members who don't rely on yelling to get their point across. They are a successful, caring, and supportive family, and I always feel safe coming here. Their house has almost a castle-like feel, that I love finding a room to have all by myself while I just sit and read, or study, or just think.
Ok I've run out of things to talk about, I'm gonna go curl up on the couch and watch Blues Brothers while studying for my A&P exam.
