me, the state of

[bedlamsbard]

Back to working on my grad applications since, hey, I am graduating really freaking soon and I kind of need to know what I'm doing next year. At this point I at least have a complete draft of my personal statement; I'm legitimately worried that if I wait any longer then I won't end up applying at all, so whatever, it's going. (I'd rather get it in than not.) Except then I ran into the spot on the app where I needed my passport info, which I don't have at present and I can't call home until this evening because of the time difference.

This raises the question of whether I should put a prof who knows me better as a reference or a classics prof (for a classics program). *hesitating*

Meanwhile I am working on Chapter 2 of Bad Moon Rising (which is actually the second SW story I've given that title; the other one is an old UFO) and trying to figure out what I'm doing with it. Yesterday I went to the New Orleans Roadfood Festival, which was yummy but sort of...overwhelming, since I ended up by myself due to a series of...miscommunications, I guess. (My part, my roommates' part, whatever. I'm still mildly pissed that no one stopped to say, "Hey, Bed, we're leaving," when they left. Is that too much to ask?) At least I finally accomplished my goal of going to the French Quarter by myself and I got to wander into all the shops I wanted by myself. (Except is the Quarter Stitch not there any more? At least I didn't spend any money on yarn, I guess.) And I acquired pralines! So nom. I ended up totally wiped afterwwards and sort of gave up on homework in order to collapse into bed.

I know I'm edging back up into higher stress levels (I've got a 15 page paper due next week that I haven't started) because I'm starting to rip my lips to shreds again. Not good!

if you can't use both as references i'd go with the professor who knows you better. that prof can write a more detailed reference.

-insert segue-
french quarter fest! do you have plans to attend? the food is amazing and the bands are amazing and it's free!

[bedlamsbard]

Well, it's two refs; I was trying to decide between two classics profs or one classics prof and another prof. But probably the latter.

I have never been! But maybe I should go. *ponders*

you can see the music lineups for FQF here- http://www.fqfi.org/frenchquarterfest/fqfi_music.html

I confess, I may be less interested in the music and more interested in the food.

the food vendors are also listed on the fest website. i may have made a list of things i plan to eat on my DW. goal one: track down that amazing pork sandwich i had last year.
