| Transitions...
UVa is a tough place for me right now. I don't feel like I have any friends, I have no idea what's going on in class, and I certainly don't fit in by any normal standards. I feel like it's middle school with the cliques and the lockers and the "cool" people. I don't know why I should even care, but I do. Insecurities, I suppose. Anyway, here's hoping you all are doing better at your respective places in life. Cheers.

| My new favorite male tennis player is officially Dmitry Tursunov (Russian but is trying to obtain U.S. citizenship). Go read his blog... it's hilarious!!
http://www.atptennis.com/en/blog/tursunov.asp
A couple of examples that made me laugh (yes, laugh!):
And the second question - I’m NOT joking! - was, “What do you think about Marat?” Ummm… I’m speechless…. I wonder if the journalist woke up today and thought to herself… “Hmmm… I wonder what would be a good question for Dmitry?! I know!!! How about I ask him what he thinks about Marat!!! Yes, yes! That is indeed a brilliant question!!! I must write it down before I forget it! How didn’t I think of it sooner?!”
There is bacon, croissants, meats, sausages, and little cup cakes that are smiling at me and asking me to taste them.
Nothing better than smiling food!!! :) Have a great week!

| Okay! As of today, this is how the stupid law school app results stand:
Choosing between: UC Hastings and UC Davis.
Waitlisted to: Northwestern, Columbia, Michigan, Virginia, Boston, Penn.
Pending: UCLA, USC, Hah-vuhd (pointless but still no response!).
Offended by: Cornell, Boston, Duke (rejection today! pfft!).
Should I go to Davis or Hastings? Ack! I bought myself until June with a deposit....
Also, at the temp agency today my interviewer called me an overachiever. I haven't heard that since high school!!! Hahaha! Overachieve, me? Pfft!
On another sad note, apparently I type 95 wpm with corrections! I swear I usually type faster than that...
[20:54] moodsick15: apparently i only type 95 wpm though
[20:54] moodsick15: but i think that's wrong!!
[20:55] moodsick15: i messed up on the test
[20:55] moodsick15: and i clicked some button that made one of those windows things pop up
[20:55] moodsick15: that took me temporarily out of the typing test
[20:58] stephen403: lol
[20:58] stephen403: 95wpm is really good
[20:58] stephen403: haha
[20:58] stephen403: I think that's funny
p.s. i don't think people read my xanga anymore ;)

| Sometimes you can see the good intentions of someone but what he is saying comes out all wrong. Okay, that happens a _lot_ in my family, especially with my dad.
So I tell him I got rejected from University of Chicago today, which really bummed me out because it is very intellectual and I am not a pragmatist. And I just _know_ he's trying to make me feel better, he's trying to say something about how my dean had told me that a lot of these schools are reach schools with my GPA so I should be unsurprised at many rejections and happy with an acceptance already.
Instead, it comes out like this: "well, you know your dean said you wouldn't even get into Hastings, so you shouldn't be upset about getting a lot of rejections."
Sometimes people ought stop why they're ahead ;).
