What blog?

Oh dear. I see that I haven't blogged in about three months. I'll be impressed if I still have any readers.

Updates for everyone.

I had graduate school interviews at Penn State and Ball State University. They all went well; in fact, I had a lot of fun. I really like interviews. I think I connect well with people, and it makes the process easier.

I was accepted into Penn State, but with no funding (no thank you). I was accepted into Ball State with a full tuition waiver and a full time graduate assistantship.

However, I really liked ISU best, and so I decided today to accept their offer. It's a full tuition waiver, and a half time assistantship. I will be working about 10 hours a week, earning $550 a month. It's half as much work (and money) as I would have at Ball State, but I really felt like I fit better at ISU. ISU did offer to help me find another assistantship, but it wasn't recommended and after talking to about 6 current students, I decided to wait and see how it goes.

Other updates.

I just had spring break, and it was so wonderful. I wrote 2 and a half of the four papers I wanted to write (finished the third today, and I still don't have guidelines for the fourth). But also, I slept like 8 hours EVERY night, which was phenomenal. I hung out with friends--dinner, bowling, etc. I hung out with my family--casino, Harry Potter marathon (ha).

I did also get food poisoning this weekend, and am still on a saltine diet since no food sounds the least bit appetizing. I probably need to eat more than saltines. I had a sandwich for lunch today, and felt sick again so I'm just being cautious. Not exciting, though.

Other updates...none, really. Things are going well, I guess. I'm ahead in most of my classes, which means I should actually be able to relax sometime. I do have a couple of tests coming up, so I should probably study sometime. It's never-ending, really, but I'm not sure what I would do with free time. No wait, I know. I'd sleep and hang out with friends. Why can't it be spring break forever?
