Cirrus Patterns

I did... all right... on the GRE. Not as well as I would have liked to. But well enough, I suppose.

I've been thinking a LOT about traveling lately... now that I officially have nothing to stick around for (ie relationships or school) the time has come to take the first opportunity and leave. I am definitely going abroad in the spring. I will probably go to London (expensive) and Edinburgh (full of crazy Scottish people) and I would like to visit a dear friend of mine in Belgium (language barriers)... and then who knows. Hopefully I can get about three weeks off of work to do this... I'll just save up my sick and vacation time as long as possible.

Unless I get this new job I applied for at C&B corporate. That would be the greatest thing in the world. I would die to get out of health care right now. Die of happiness.

Also my list of schools to apply to has changed significantly and now only includes 2 schools in Chicago. If I stay, I will be pleased, and if I leave, I will be scared... but I want to go back to school so badly. I just want someone to give me the chance. I'll take it.

Even if its Kentucky.


You know... I don't miss undergrad drawing classes... nude models... repetitive hand-cramping gesture drawings... and that guy... with the pockmarked face and gold chain who had some sort of STD or disease that would cause his genitals to drip.

Oh, Jerry.

Hopefully he saw a doctor about that.

Heroes of Mine.

This man is my personal hero:

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - A man accused of drunken driving tried to outrun the police but his vehicle wasn't up to the task.

Michael Ginevan of Bunker Hill was driving a riding lawnmower on Runnymeade Road about a mile from his home when a Berkeley County sheriff's deputy attempted to pull him over. Ginevan, 39, allegedly sped away and Deputy J.H. Jenkins stopped his cruiser and gave chase on foot, according to magistrate court records.

Jenkins caught up to the lawnmower after a short chase but Ginevan allegedly wouldn't stop so the deputy pulled him off the machine. Ginevan refused to take a field sobriety test and was arrested. Jenkins then found a case of beer strapped to the lawnmower's front, court records show.

That's doing it in unprecedented, unapologetic style. I am drunk, I am ridiculous, and I don't give a flying fuck.

In all seriousness, though...

I just paid $140 to take a test.
I just PAID someone to torture me...
