with bombs whistling

Well, that's it. My roommate and I are done. I don't appreciate being screamed at and she doesn't appreciate anyone who can't follow her rules slavishly. I'm thinking of trying to move my move-out date from June to spring break (there's no way that I can both teach and move, not with my sixty-hour weeks). Right now, I'm too mad, but later I'll be sad, because I can't think of her as a friend now, and I don't think I will able to do so again.

*sighs* Bad fucking timing for this, though it's been a long time coming. Why life so hard, people?

Anyway, how goes the whole "grad school or not' thing?

Ugh. I'm 'working' on the application as we speak. I was about to just forget about it, but then one of my referees emailed with a friendly 'Hey, I just got your ref. letter in, good luck' and so I kind of have to do it. I'm putting in the application, for tomorrow evening (online), whether it's done well. I'm more doing this for peace of mind - I know I'd like to do a phd eventually, it's just whether its now or after I'm teaching for a while - but at this point I just want the stupid thing done and be finished with the era of applications!

Living alone, in my experience, is awesome. I'm living with the boyfriend right now, but I still look back on those blissful few months a few years ago when I lived alone. Ah, memories.

Finding the right roommate is a toughie, I'd say live alone for a while and see how it goes. Either way, you're going to have a lot less stress.

Bleh. I know that frame of mind - I dithered for a long time before giving up on academia - and applications are always evil! *hugs* Good luck!

I'm either going to live alone (*bliss*) or possibly with a friend of my sister's who I know is pretty laidback. But I really really want to live alone. I've only done it for a summer when I was housesitting Meredith's condo, and it's not like I could decorate it. *g*

Where are you now, if I can ask? I'm going to be up in NB for most of the summer - maybe I can swing a visit to you, if you're not in New Zealand by then.

hahha, I love the icon you used for this :).

Yeah, this application will be the last of my dithering with academia for a while. I'm doing this for that one last shot so that I can let go of it for a while and focus on teaching and travelling and creating art again for a while ...

Living alone is bliss. Do it!

I'm in Kitchener now. If I go to New Zealand I would be leaving mid-June so if you're back up in Canada by or before then we should definitely arrange a visit or more!
