The day went by pretty fast. Part of that was probably due to a random nap in the middle of it. On the graduate school front I started compiling a list for each school of what I needed to do in the application process. For the most part this information was fairly easy to find but at least for one of the schools it was surprisingly difficult. I still think I'm looking for some of the information. Oh well. Most of the schools have deadlines for the fall semester in January or the latest is early March. So I'm screwed on that front. A personal statement written in a week would suck and asking for letters of recommendation in that time frame would be really unprofessional. And difficult because I don't know who my letters will be coming from yet. When I do figure out, however, it looks like it will be easy on the writers because it looks like there is a standard form, at least for the schools I've checked, so they can just figure out their answers once and copy it onto the other forms.
Tonight I was going to take a break from it all and play a computer game because I have a whole freaking bunch of games that I've never played. I need to at least try all of them. But, I got a text from my friend who happened to still be in town, and asked if I wanted to come over. So around eight o'clock I headed over there and watched the Oscars with him and his mom. His grandfather just died and we all got to talking about his grandmother. She sounds exactly like my grandma before she passed away. A complete negative Nancy that wants everyone to be as miserable as possible. It was actually really odd how similar our stories were. Then after his mom went to bed we talked about some of the different stuff he's had to deal with in the Navy thanks to his position as the legal officer. It seems ridiculous that even when he's on the boat he has to not only go up in a jet and be responsible for dropping bombs, but also has to deal with all the crazy jackasses in his squadron. I'd think the Navy would want people going up in jets completely focused on that job, not having to sacrifice flying time because some asshole wants to abuse the system.
Tomorrow I might go and see if I can get some eye drops. It isn't doing to bad today but it does look like I was smoking pot with an eye patch. My main complaint would be how dry it feels. There is also the pressure I feel when I bend down which makes it seem sinus related. My throat seems to be doing better. It is still annoying to swallow but I can't remember it being too painful. Progress, I guess. We'll see how I feel in the morning.
