Since the last time I was here, I got serious and decided that I was going to apply to grad school for the Fall of 2015. This isn't a decision that was taken lightly. I've sighed over and over as I went back and forth weighing my options. Wait until Kris is done his masters, get married, then go to school for 4 years or go to school while Kris is getting his masters, and get married when we're both done in 4 years or stay at home every day for 4 years and eat mashed potatoes, while not being productive to society and start to hate myself. Anyone see a pattern in the amount of time all of this will take?
Anyway, here I am with a handful of schools picked out and only one I that I really have my heart set on. I just finished the first 3 of many application essays where I adeptly make myself sound smarter, more worldly, and less lazy than I actually am. And I. do. not. want. to. write the. rest. of. them.
OH and I've started an online math class because why not torture myself even more?
I keep telling myself it's all for The Doctorate. It's all for The Doctorate.
Back to editing essays.
Here are some upbeat pictures to keep you from noticing the terrible (and complain-y) quality of this post. Ciao!
You two are just adorable. I took my GRE and was sick the day of so my focus was all off and at this point, I'm like, well I'll apply and if it doesn't work then whatever.

TEMPLE? again? ;-) Miss ya!
