im graduating in may with my bachelors..then i'll be getting my master's in montessori at Xavier!! my gpa is good enough, now all i need to do is take the MAT and apply in the spring! i was shaking in my boots about the GRE. the good reverend loganus kistler phD tried to allay my fears..but the GRE scares me, plain and simple. so, upon hearing that i can take the MAT, i rejoiced!! Analogies are SO my thing!!
im going to get an apartment in clifton gaslight-so my poor car can take it easy. also, i originally wanted to get an apt in clifton gaslight, but it fell through, which is why im living where i am now. clifton has the atmosphere i want. old buildings, nifty stores, diverse groups of people. i won't have to be scared to have an Obama, and Celebrate Diversity bumper sticker there. as opposed to where i live now, where the rednecks may kill me..
i'll be able to afford a nicer apartment after i graduate too! i'll have student loans + a part time job.. now, this doesnt mean that im willing to pay out the arse for an apartment..its silly to overpay for housing to get the "cool" apartment or some such. there are fantabulous apartments starting at $450 a month, $525 a month, and $625 a month. $6oo-ish is the most im willing to pay per month. and that's for a superb apt in clifton with wood-flooring and huge rooms with lofted ceilings.. im leaning toward the $525 apartments- i just hope there will be one april 1st or may-june 1st available for me to rent! the thing that makes it hard is that i need to live on the 2nd floor or above. im paranoid. plus, i like to sleep with my windows open during nice weather- and while clifton is by no means nyc or detroit..its still foolhardy to sleep with unlocked doors (anywhere any floor with doors) and windows on the first floor! and hopefully i'll have my manfriend as a roomie-splitting the rent. then i can definitely afford my apartmentamente.
Although, every time i mention him moving to cinci. ever. , he acts the opposite of enthused. Even Though we'd only have to live here for 2 Years TOPS while i get my masters. THEN i can live ANYwhere there is more than one montessori school!! normally that would make melancholy.. but my life is moving in completely the Right direction, with my dream masters school (check out Xavier online), and my dream career so close. relationship stuff just kind of takes the back burner when your dreams are so close at hand.
so, i tried to stay away from the book of faces...but i couldnt stay away... heres how my relapse happened:
rachael and i had a perfecto day of amazingness with her lil' sister (big brothers/big sisters) and her friends at a pumpkin patch in milford! which is apparently "tree city america"!!! how wonderful is that?? and she was putting up the pictures from the day on to her profile and tagging them... and then... i cracked. damn your eyes facebook! damn your eyes! ALSO contributing was the fact that i cracked my cell phone screen and had to get a new cell phone (adding to my brokeness-my two year upgrade isnt for 6 months) and lost numbers i'd added in the last YEAR. seriously. it deleted friends numbers that i'd added last december!! and i couldnt get in touch with 5 very special people!! confound it all! so...im back on le book de face. sigh.
i still havent donated any dollars dollars (thank you mr. bertke for that cool-person phrase i never wouldve known) to npr yet! even tho' their fall fund drive drove me crazy. i really need to send a few doll-hairs their way- i listen to them EVERYDAY! on school days almost All day.
UPDATE on the stuffs i sold at plato's closet:
I made $38!!! then i went to gabriel brothers, which is like an even cheaper TJ Maxx but still as awesome (you just have to dig more) and got 4 new sweater-coats for $36 plus tax! yeayuh!! i heart being thrifty!
yesterday i went out to Whole Foods to see what hippie oils they had in stock- to see if i could create a new scent concoction.. perfume honestly only does it for me seldomly. then i go back to craving natural oils.. last summer i anointed myself with sandalwood and citrus everyday!! and Now i hath found my perfect new scent!! lily of the valley (the girl who has the lily of the valley store and blog is Really going to think im a crazy stalker now..what can ya do?) and Arabian sandalwood!! Floral & WOODSY! sooo grood! the sandalwood balances out the lily-so its not too floral and icky-sweet. PLUS Arabian Sandalwood has a carmelized/burnt-sugary scent to it that normal sandalwood does not- so its even MORE AMAZING! now its not just like Campfire smells- ITS LIKE TOASTED 'MALLOWS OVER THE CAMPFIRE smells!!!!! SCENTGASM!! its okay, you can smell me ;D i also walked out of there with Burt's Bees acne solutions scrub to use 3 times a week-my skin betrays me when i get stressed out-which is all dah times during skoo, and Awesomeness personified new body wash!! Method Baby Sqeaky-Green Bubble Bath!! it smells like rice pudding and marshmallows! it also smells like the Rice Flower & Shea body spray i wore senior year of high school, and freshman and sophomore years of college!! which stoopid bath and body works Stopped making. it makes my showers awesome :)
