To Write or Not to Write

December 2, 2009

I gave my hand at NaNoWriMo. Again. But I forgot to plan it out. And failed after 8,915 words and then pushed delete. I hated it all. Each word. I had no idea where I was going with it. I resented it, and just deleted the entire thing. Then I remembered that my dear friend [...]

Trying to be positive

December 1, 2009

I keep wanting to write a specific post. A post that’s not necessarily happy, not unhappy per se but not happy. More me. Battling life, career choices, choices from seven years ago biting me in the butt now. But I’m trying to be positive. I’ve sent cold emails to various history departments at various private [...]

Can’t Nobody Bring Me Down

November 22, 2009

I may have been down yesterday, but I am not down for the count. After a refreshing day up with the in-laws, and after getting lots of advice from many freaders and family friends, I’m still pursuing plan A, but I’m also enacting plan B. Pursuing private school at the suggestion of others; I will [...]

Almost But Not Quite

November 21, 2009

I got an answer back from grad school today. Via Email. Not quite the answer I had hoped for, but not entirely rejecting me…yet. You see, I effed up in college. My freshman year I did not adjust well, I was not prepared and my GPA showed it. While I did better the proceeding four [...]

Laziness At It’s Best

November 17, 2009

Alternatively Titled: Why it’s sometimes okay to not shower for a day and live in sweatpants I vowed, earlier this week to get things done. To be done with the final boxes sitting in our study, to have everything in for my grad school application (it is. They’re just claiming they haven’t received my second [...]

On Adjusting

November 9, 2009

Alternatively Titled: Why I’m afraid I’ll never make new friends and be forced to spend my day playing ball with Pup I’ve been adjusting this week. Unpacking. Throwing out boxes and more crap that shouldn’t have even made the move to begin with. My biggest fear is beside me though. The same fear I had [...]

Keep Breathing

October 26, 2009

Sans this past weekend, I’ve been holding down the fort in DC while Hubs started his new job up in Stamford. This being apart thing and living on my own? I admire Military wives and widows because I have no idea how they do it. This of course has left me with the sole responsibility [...]

Blog Made It Big Time

August 11, 2009

Today, there was an article about me in the Washington Post. Not gonna lie, I feel kind of bad ass. I’ve mentioned this interview once before, as I spent the last five months contemplating what the eff I wanted to do with my life, I was contacted by them to talk about my “quarter life [...]

It’s Not About the Who…

August 10, 2009

That’s a lie. It totally is about the who. I was recently hired back in to the world of full time employment. A job that has so much potential, a job that I want to be excited about, but rather, spent most of the weekend being nervous and worrying about. But today, it was like [...]

Game On…

July 27, 2009

Over a happy hour tonight, that we probably shouldn’t have gone out to, Fiance and I decided to make getting out of DC our top priority. Neither of us is really happy here, we can’t afford to move in the area, yet, we’ve rapidly outgrown our current space and career wise? I for one, don’t [...]
