Not being a gambler or much of a drinker/party person, Vegas was perhaps not the most fitting place to go. However, I was curious and figure I should see it once. I wanted to see the bright lights and an Elvis impersonator. I also had left the city of Chicago in about 6 months, so [...]

I have to go to a meeting with my advisor, but I thought I’d announce that I made it back to my apartment at midnight. OHare was a mess of problems. I will write more about my trip later today or tomorrow. Share on beboBlog this!Bookmark on DeliciousDigg this postRecommend on FacebookShare on favesShare on [...]

A few seconds ago, I just sent off my application to one of the schools (a Dec. 15 deadline, ouch). With that out of the way (and the worrying begins, along with the dash to finish off other apps), I need to pack for Vegas and get out of the cold Chicago weather! Have a [...]

When looking at grad schools, I have a list of priorities I want to keep in mind. Among those are that I want to be able to dance where I go next. I have been screening places not only by selectivity and where they are and what they offer but also by what kind of [...]

This one is courtesy of this blog. I am avoiding going outside right now; it is again col. 8 favorite TV shows: The Office Daria (even if it isn’t on anymore) Tabatha’s Salon Takeover (even though I watch in fear that I’ve been to one of those salons) Nip/Tuck The Colbert Report Project Runway, Seasons [...]

Allowing myself to heal was a great decision, since I am now better. Not 100% better (sniffling and coughing a bit), but better enough to practice dance a little, including turns and better enough to finally send out forms for recommendations to everyone. Since I’m about halfway through break, I thought I’d update where I [...]

I woke up today with a sore throat and earache. Normally, getting sick of breaks is okay by me, since nothing is normally do. However, I had a whole day planned out of application work and research reading Maybe this is a sign I should consider grad schools in areas that are warm year-round? Share [...]

As I have been vigorously working my applications and making life decisions fast, my fiancee informs me that he may look at doing sociology instead of physics. I typically try not to write about specific people, but I feel inclined to write about this, because I think he is not unique in this issue. By [...]

I’ve been working on my personal statement more vigorously since class left out. Because I’m going to Vegas and will be without steady internet (not to mention relaxing), I had to up the deadline for myself from 15 Dec. to 12 Dec. I know 3 days doesn’t sound like a lot, but you never know. [...]

I returned to Sonya’s studio last night after a 3 month stint away (school got in the way). It felt good to be back and around familiar faces. Sometimes, it was hard to remember to return to cabaret mode after doing tribal fusion fairly religiously for a while. I am taking half of her veil [...]
