TODAY!!!

I will be home in 13 hours and 52 minutes... and I'll be leaving for the airport in about 3 hours... ewww... that's a 10 hour trip! Ugh! Well, at least I'll have plenty of time to finish up a few things I'm making... heh heh...

And unfortunately, I think I've hit panic mode. I was just organizing my grad school application stuff and I noticed a deadline on the Berkeley application that I'm not prepared for. And I remember reading that deadline before but since then I've attempted to double-checked that deadline at least 3 times and the only place it says Jan 5 is on this form. So now I'm all in a panic because my recommendations will not be in by then and there's no way I can call them and say, "Hey, by the way, I need you to do this over Christmas because I was dumb enough to overlook this..." because neither of them will be back into the office until after the 5th.

But it would really stink to not get into Berkeley just because I got my signals crossed about a deadline that I had been trying to pay close attention to. AHHHHH!!!! Okay... I'm breathing.... *inhale* ... *exhale* ... *inhale* ... *exhale* ... "God in... stress out"

Okay, so here's what's really happening. I'm going home today and I'm totally excited, but Satan wants to ruin my Christmas and make me feel like an incompetent mess. And at this point I can't change any of the things that will effect my application stuff, so I just need to forget about it because ultimately I will end up where God wants me to be... even if I go into debt because USC is SO STINKING EXPENSIVE!!!! *INHALE* ... *exhale* ... *inhale* ... *exhale* ... "God in... stress out" Okay, I think I'm better, now.

A joke my chem teacher told me about USC:

"What's the difference between USC and a bucket of crap? The bucket."

I dunno why he hates it--he probably went to a rival school. The only thing I know about USC is that its in a really bad part of town.

I can't wait to see you!
