You know what sucks more than Colbie Callait? Nothing.
So I heard for Boston and it looks like Kyle and my options are down to basically just Iowa, so hopefully that works out. I’m not too worried about it though. If I get in, then I get in and we’ll explore that option further and if I don’t get in it could be good to have some time to think about things and maybe consider taking the LSAT and trying to go the lawschool route or looking at what some of my other options might be. I don’t NEED to spend the next infinity years getting a PhD and getting tenured. It could be good to have a reason to take some time off and get to know me better.
Wedding planning is going really well aside from the part where my computer decided to fuck up randomly because Apple rushed Leopard it would seem. Kyle and I spent the weekend together and got to talk to his parents about all of our plans which was a big positive step. Things went really well. I was sort of nervous at first on Friday night because it seemed like his mom had much bigger plans for what the wedding should be than I did and she wasn’t too forthcoming about willingness to pay for things she wanted that we didn’t necessarily care about. But then on Saturday we had a mroe formal meeting where we went over a list of things that grooms families usually do and added to it based on what will be best for my parents and the wedding in general for us to pay for things. It turned out very well… and overall I think the cost of the wedding should be split nearly perfectly down the middle with a little bit of money kicked in from me. The nice thing about my not having to spend all my money on the wedding is that Kyle and I will have a tiny bit of a nest egg when we get going next year, wherever that will be.
I have been doing much better with finances and saving this semester than ever before. I think living with Tim really kicked up my responsibility level and those things. It was good to be basically wholly reliant on myself with the help of a roommate for rent and bills purposes.
That is all. My life is more exciting than this, I like to think. But really, it’s not.
