An interesting turn of events

I've been totally out of money for the past, oh, I dunno, 3 months or so. In case this has never happened to you, well, it sucks. Since I'm not much of a materialist my lifestyle really hasn't changed much, except I'm a bit more bored now then I was before. Which is fine, because I spend more time doing things I should be doing.

However, this past weekend I finally got payed and went out to the bars. yay me. Met an old friend of mine, a gay guy named Matt, a friend of his named Cricket - a beautiful jewish girl - and in general just had a good time.

Maybe today I can finally send out all those CD's! Hurray!

Right now I'm listening to some electronica called Kruder & Dorfmeister. It's kind of cool, in a spacey mellow kind of way.

The days are getting cold here now. The nights even colder. The leaves have all changed and the maples are just beautiful. The leaves started to fall a couple days ago, which is just about right, since they normally end up falling the week before my birthday. Today is my birthday actually. I'm 27. Three more years, I will be 30. What then.

I've started to look into grad school. I want to stay in the NE or maybe go to the pacific side. The only school I've been thinking of in the south is William & Marry, and honestly, I have no real inclination to go back to VA, especially that area. Don't get me wrong, I met some fantastic people, and I especially loved living in Hampton, but if I had to add up all my good memories and bad memories I would be a severe memory deficit. The mountain biking was good. Some of the resteraunts were pretty good. There is a good chance that my negative feelings toward the Navy is what is predjudicing me against VA. But, i'm getting on a tangent.

I'm looking at three different types of grad schools. MBA, Law, and academia.

For MBA I'm looking at
Colorado @ Boulder
NYU
Yale
OSU
Oregon U
Wisconsin @ Madison

For Law I haven't looked much into it, so only

NYU
Vermont Law
Yale

Academia I'm looking at PhD and masters programs in Economics. Given my academic record, I stand a better chance of getting into a good MBA program them an academic one, but who knows.

Colorado @ Boulder
NYU
Yale
UVM

and a couple more


I could always go for a few more ideas, if any of you have them

Days and Nights

These past weekends have been just crazy. I think it's going to be like that all summer long. Two weekends ago I went and hiked in the Catskills and this weekend I went home to Platsburgh.

I had this great idea for my father and step mother for my brother Jeremy except they weren't so keen on the idea. I wanted to take him down here to the campus with me for a couple days and then to NYC for a day or two during one of our little breaks. He turns 16 here in a few days.

Of course Christine squleched this idea saying Jeremy has no time. Can you believe it? No time. He has to work. He has to go to soccer. For the love of Christ the kid is still a kid. You know, it's ironic, because they sit around and bitch about how they never have any time for anything and they are setting Jeremy and Katrina up for the exact some type of no time life style. Who wants to live like that?

sigh. it's so saddening. And then Christine was like, we might be going down to NYC this summer. You can meet us there. Wouldn't that be fun. Oh yeah.... let me go and get some lythium first.

So, i've got a couple midterms this week. A lot of reading. No money. No time. No sex. A lot of the gym. It's getting cold. The leaves are changing. I'm making an apple pie tonight. I'm out of groceries again! I want to get out of this country for a few months or years. I just want to go. I want to go to grad school at NYU or Yale. I want to go live in the mountains. Montgomery GI bill is causing me a nervous breakdown. I am relaxed.

crazyness. I think i need a massage.
