- getting bills out of the way
- getting 3 out of 5 loads of laundry done (I usually forget about the first load)
- straightening up two rooms
- creating a blog header (one that I’m happy with!)
- being able to snap out of a depressed mood and get shit done today

Unless:
- I have some miraculous burst of creativity
- an eighth day (and a ninth one) suddenly appears on the calendar
- there are more hours in a day (or time-turners become a real thing)

I don’t know if I can apply to my first choice grad school before the deadline for the fall 2010 semester. This means that if I apply for the next semester that the program is offered and I am accepted, I will be 26 years old. My current portfolio, which is already out of date, will be ancient and so will I.

I am kicking myself for not getting on this sooner and the thought of what I will be doing while I wait for 2011 is depressing me.

Then again… This could be a great time to become addicted to caffeine, lose great amounts of sleep, and drive myself batshit crazy trying to get into this school.

Him: … When she says it, you listen and see reason! When I say it…

My cousin chose yellow as her color for her wedding. I was excited at first because it’s one of my favorite colors, but I have to admit that I am feeling a little bit of that weird older sister-esque “damn you for getting married first, using one of my favorite colors, and having your wedding 4 days before my 25th birthday. Way to steal my thunder… But I still love you.” feeling right now.
