4:51 pm	Geez, LJ. What, do you all have lives or something? So NYU says there are work study (!), both subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans, and (this is the kicker) PLUS loan funds available for me. Yeah, PLUS loans are the ones that your parents take out and pay for. Hmmm. Yeah. Um, no. I may be a 28 year old loser who moved back in with my dad after my first master's degree, but you'd think, this being my SECOND master's degree, I should attempt to someday want to pay for my loans myself??? Ack. What to do what to do WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOOOOO. Should I stay or should I go? Discuss. Current Mood: confused (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:12 pm	I know you want to hear about what I got at the Book Bonanza, so here you go: -Rob Roy - Sir Walter Scott -The Portable Karl Marx - ed. Eugene Kamenka -The Beatles Trivia Quiz Book - Helen Rosenbaum -History of Music - William R. Clendenin -Music in the Classic Period - Reinhard G. Pauly -Herland - Charlotte Perkins Gilman -The Bronze Bow - Elizabeth George Speare -A Fine Balance - Rohinton Mistry -Stuart England - J.P. Kenyon Also: a couple acting books for the wee sister, and a golf book and a book about the Cossacks for my dad. All in all, a good haul. Perhaps a little smaller than in previous years as I only alloted myself 50 minutes and had to keep in under $20 (total was $11). Hi my name is Sarah and I am a book addict. In other news, Meryl's sister's wedding was today. It was nice, as fancy weddings go. You know you're getting old and cat lady-ish when your (married) friends' younger siblings get married. *sigh* That's all I have to report for now. Current Mood: bored (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:26 pm	Happy Belated Birthday, America! Who here watched A Capitol Forth last night? Who else was afraid Aretha Franklin was going to have a wardrobe malfunction? ACK! Last night NYC Cousin, Distant Cousin, and I went to see "The Hangover". Oh, the hilarity. I approve of this movie. After that, we went to our friendly neighborhood pseudo-hipster/preppy bar. I don't think I like pseudo-hipsters and I know I don't like preppies, but. Drunk Sarah is drunk. Hehe. I almost felt 28 and not like the 68 year old cat lady I am.

10:13 pm	Rabbit rabbit. Happy Canada Day, eh? Eeeeee the first summer band concert was tonight. It was fun. Have I mentioned that I loves me some "Stars and Stripes Forever"? Well, I do. You don't play piccolo. You don't know. Eeeeeeeeeeeeee. :-D Before that I hung out with Meryl and a couple other old friends and their... offspring. Thing that isn't fun #34987897: passing babies around the table. I'm pretty sure you can bypass me, thank you. I don't like to hold babies because they're loud and smelly and I might break them and ewww ewww ewww and yeah. The end. Current Mood: content (3 Comments |Comment on this)

7:57 pm	I guess I'd better update. Cousin Bobo's Little Brother's wedding was good times. It was very casual. I didn't even wear my new dress (that's okay, two more freaking weddings this year :-P), but in a skirt and t-shirt I was still too dressed up. Heh. That's alright. It was really very low-key and nice, outdoors at Mrs. Cousin Bobo's Little Brother's parents' house. All of the cousins were there and mild shenanigans were had. I approve of this wedding. Yesterday I had a the first band concert of the summer. "Stars and Stripes" on piccolo? Yes please. Anyone who could ever get tired of that piece is wrong. Or an oboe player. ;) I have been watching season one of Heroes on DVD. It is no LOST, but it's fun (although it seems to want to be a mixture of LOST and X-Men, probably). Yeah. Oh, it's very upsetting when you buy a season of a TV show on DVD and two of the discs don't work. Thank you Blockbuster and your 99 cent older rentals. :-P Oh, and by the way... I sent in the acceptance form to NYU. Checkmarked "yes". IT'S NOT BINDING, people. I deferred enrollment at UT for two semesters, now didn't I? If I come to my senses, I can either go or not go, depending on what is, um, sensible at the time. Not that I'm sensible anyway, as most of you well know. I CAN'T STAY IN POTHOLE CENTRAL FOREVER. Haters, naysayers, I-warned-you-you'll-be-sorry-sayers, etc., to the left. ;) Current Mood: lazy (8 Comments |Comment on this)

11:01 am	I saw Cousin Bobo's Little Brother yesterday. He's the one getting married this coming Saturday. He was with his fiancee too. I have to say, good job Cousin Bobo's Little Brother! She is very pretty and nice. So he's what, in his early 40s? Could there be hope for me yet?! Haha maybe not. I still have no clue whether or not I should go to NYU. Damn I wish I had a Magic 8 ball. I trust the magic. Heh. I guess it comes down to: A) being poor and miserable and stuck in Pothole Town forever or B) being completely destitute and living in a box on the subway but being ever so happy. Hmm. Discuss.

9:55 pm	Well, hello LJ. I'm posting. I'm not going to de-friends only my whole journal just yet, I just thought you might want to hear about my doings south of the Mason-Dixon line. -Be proud and impressed: Yours truly, the overpacker extraordinaire, fit nine days worth of stuff into a carry-on. Carry-on + printing out boarding passes beforehand = WIN. -Monday the mom and sister and I went to the exciting Northeast TN area to visit my grandmother. I had some delicious food from Pals. I highly recommend it. Also a plus: getting my grandmother to not talk about food or ailments for a brief while by getting her to look at old pictures. And I mean like 100+ year old pictures. Good times. Also, the sister and I went to the park to play on the swings and observe the ducks. Nice. -Tuesday (the wee sister's birthday), we headed south on 11-W to the land of Knoxvegas. From Magnolia we ended up somewhere way out on Western Ave. Heh. I'm lost without the stupid interstate or Kingston Pike, okay? Eventually we found our way someplace. We spent the night at my favorite Super-8 on Papermill after messing around in West Town Mall. Calhouns was had for dinner. It was delicious. Not delicious? The Jack Daniels Pie because THEY DON'T HAVE IT ANYMORE. *sob* -Wednesday I got to see robynplusone at McKays (aka mecca). Yay! We then went over to campus. I didn't see anyone I knew because they were either A) not there or B) not there because they were sick! Alas! We then headed out Chapman Highway to Sevierville to Pigeon Forge to Gatlinburg to Cherokee. I had an "Indian taco" in Cherokee. It was delicious. The sister was deposited back at school and I came back here with the mom. -Thursday mi madre cooked me a delicious meatloaf and a Jack Daniels Pie. Screw you, Calhouns! We went to see Terminator Salvation which was enjoyable in spite of itself. Anton Yelchin is rather adorable. -Yesterday mom and I went to the Biltmore House in Asheville. It was pretty much made of awesome. The best part? The TWO-FLOOR LIBRARY. As in, 10000+ BOOKS. Remind me to marry a Vanderbilt. -Today was mostly spent lazing about. The thought of going back to werk Tuesday already fills me with dread. Dreeeeeaaaadddd. :( I need to move far, far away from Pothole Central because we hatess it, preciousss, we do. Oy.

9:21 am	Argh. Um, I just had some weird spambot friend my journal. I don't like it. Therefore I think I shall make this thing friends-only for the time being. (Comment on this)
