Am very much obsessed with this song right now:
Saw it played in a trailer for I am Number Four. Now I kind of want to see it.

Mid-February
I remember back when i was first applying I thought maybe the total pool of applicants is like 30...or 50. Flash forward to now after I have scoped out some grad school forums....the number is closer to 100. Sometimes more. Ack!
Oh well, so far I haven't been rejected by anyone yet...I really hope to hear back from my US schools but it is great to go to Austria for an interview next month! I already have my ticket and am brushing up on my current literature so I don't look like a total doofus when I get there!
I have starting reading a lot about the country. In general it seems like a great place of culture and history! But I am also super excited to see my family in France!!! I wish I could've made it so I did the interview first then had a week to relax in Paris, but alas - the way the dates worked out and my job (!) I really could not stay after the interview :( So, it is one week in France followed by 3 days in Austria!
I will miss the babies when I leave for work in March...come Fall I will be somewhere else for grad school, somewhere far far away!
Anyways, enjoy the ridiculousness of this:

Chuggin' along
Well. I can't say I am in the best mood right now. I should be. But it has been the weirdest 24 hours...
But today started great! I woke up and not 10 minutes after I receive a phone call from a really long number. I almost don't answer but seeing as how I should be getting phone calls from unfamiliar numbers now I pick up...and it is someone with an accent and at first I don;t make out much, then I hear 'Austria.'
Austria?!? I applied to a school there! So once I figure out it is someone from the school we proceed to talk a bit and they ask me why I applied there and I mention two people whose research I am interested in and the person on the phone goes, "Oh, I am So-and-So" one of the people I name checked in my SOP!! Woooooo! Well, it was not a long phone call and while I'm talking I am thinking why are they calling me. Uli said I would hear about interviews in mid-Feb...and sure enough at the end she invites me to their official interview visit!!! Yes! Should receive an email for more updates! I can't believe it my first interview!
I was shaking when I got off the phone! This day has gone by so fast. That plus the starfish name a friend named for me has made me soooo excited!!!
And of course I am happy and I text everyone I know. Everyone. *sigh* Tre sad the end of things.
Oh but I have so much to be happy for. I get over things fast. Always have. I bounce back, like trends from the 80s.

One More
Breathing in...and out...
everything is going to be ok...something will happen and you will handle it...don't forget to floss.
WHHYYYY GOD WHYYYYYY
I have had 2 months to get used to not being with him. It never would have worked...in fact it might have been so stress inducing it would have ruined us...So officially as of around 1 am this morning - I am single. This sucks.
Not that I feel that I need to be with anyone...really just him.
Oh but I know it is for the best. Right now is not a stable time for having a significant other. For me or him. But it still hurts but the great part is that I know we are in a good place where we can still be good friends. And maybe one day down the line...when the universe aligns the planets in the axis of Jupiter and the stars glow green in a dusky velvet sky...maybe things will works out.
For now I will try to keep busy until I hear back from grad schools. It is February 6th today! I should hear back from a job this week too....Ok goal, I will have acquired a second field research job by the end of the this!
Ok going to breathe. Going to be fine. Food. Food is friend.
