so far, i think i'm doing ok this week =) no breakdowns or anything of the sort. just some cigarettes...

i think i'm gonna have to sell a kidney to take the GRE's. 160 bucks just to take the damn test! i remember feeling so relieved when i graduated college that i no longer had to deal with tests, forms, applications, etc. unfortunately, these things are once again a necessary evil if i have any hope of going to grad school. i'm not even 100% sure that's what i want, but i'm trying to be proactive in doing my part to build a path, instead of waiting for something to fall in my lap. so i'm investigating schools in cali, slowly working on applications, filling out the fafsa, and registering for the gre's. i'm also getting myself registered with some recruiter agencies in the monterey and sf bay areas.

in the meantime, i'm putting my time and energy into two things: getting healthy and working on my blog/book club/joint travel blog projects. cori and i have now been in touch with one of the authors of the lost girls and we're gonna set up some virtual q&a sessions with her and another book club that's using TLG. it's really exciting stuff for us! aaand i've lost about 15 pounds this past month so i'm motivated to keep up with that.

so tomorrow we're going to the city for matt's bday. tuesday i'll be back in the city with mom for the kleinfeld blowout sale! (say yes to the dress, anyone?) probably my only chance in hell to score an amazing couture wedding dress, even though there are still absolutely NO wedding plans. heather's housewarming and katie's going away parties next saturday. and american idol auditions with halona on the 3rd!! i seriously need to think of what i'm gonna sing.
