I have been ridiculously busy trying to find a routine lately that balances school, work and sleep. Ah, college. My semester started on the 29th of August and I have been in a fog ever since. So its not surprising that my blog kind of fell to the wayside. If this were a print journal, it would have already been stuffed in the back corner of my closet, gathering a fine layer of dust. But I'm bringing it out, dusting it off and writing a little bit more in its pages.
Well, my application for studying abroad is officially complete, with a clean bill of health from the doctor after a day of being poked, prodded and bloodied. So now, I'm handing in the paperwork tomorrow, as the letter of reference from my English professor has been successfully received by my study abroad coordinator. It's beginning to seem more real and entirely possible. Life is beginning to fall into place, and it feels really good.
Once the application has been submitted to the university, all I can do is wait to hear a response. If I don't get in, I'm really going to be devastated. But it's probably best to leave the pessimism off until I actually hear from the college.
As for work, we're starting to slow down quite a bit after a ridiculously long spree of high-selling days. However, this lag also means that hours are being cut, so I'm going to have to find a new way to occupy my time. Anyone else up for square-dancing lessons?
Just kidding.
