So summer update time - how much have I really done?
Well, I think the last time I studied for the GRE's was two weekends ago... haha and back then I thought I was getting through the book too fast. Oh - trust me - I can find a hundred distractions and more. Namely, re-watching Glee episodes 3 - 5 times, plowing through Greek seasons 1, and now 2. Planned drinking every Tuesday and Friday, with smaller in-house wine parties and random occasions. Watching Rocky and Bullwinkle... another drunken pastime. Hmm, what else? Failing at cooking, small attempts at "working out", reading every few days. I am the perfect Grad-school applicant I'm sure they'll appreciate my summer pastimes, just as I have. Oh, and we can't forget flooding my Grooveshark playlist with Glee cast music, Catch 22, and Less Than Jake... dear old Harvard oh don't you love me?
Facebook is now just taunting me with everyone traveling and soaking up all my dreams. Somehow all I think about is escaping the Albany, and yet I tend to be the one stuck here. My dreams of Grad school now perfectly coincide with my dreams of being a globetrotter, so much so that even if I'm not accepted into grad school I will be promptly joining the Peace Corps to prove my undying need to run about this earth. I find that I only dream now when I think about "going somewhere", I tend to only be inspired by the prospects of being among new company, new thoughts, ideas... I think this may be a generational thing. (or maybe just an after-graduation thing) So maybe another summer plan can be writing about which places I could be the most helpful to, and in turn which places I think could teach me the most. This would be helpful for grad school conversations and maybe helping ground me a bit more? Of course I would be the most amazing plant on the planet, I can be grounded for a couple months, be carried off in the wind and replanted elsewhere - perfectly fine and altogether the same. Yea, that was definitely a comment made to be spoken, but I think it works here, too... just use your brain.
Anyways, besides missing the freedom of wandering around Italy, and my infancy of understanding the pleasures of travel, I need to figure out what to do with my current stationary situation. Seeing as Elliot and Jillian will always get what they want for being birthed from a Professor/ other things... I will not be traveling anywhere with the Brown's Fellows grant. I was so nervous and excited about that trip. Nervous with the idea of going deep into Tibetan China by myself, but so excited to see the Mosu and Lake Lugu and to make a point about female architects. I guess the RPI school of architecture still isn't ready for a strong female (it kind of shows), so it'll be their loss when I make a point of it to express these interests myself. Maybe I'll include a thanks for DBell and Demetrios for being so supportive, but the rest of those insolent assholes can just suffer in their manly, bad-architectural misery.... aka one of them who is infamous for causing so much trouble to his students... but I won't continue with this rage. Tonight is Footsie Fridays! I have to prepare myself for my first night drinking a 40, and traveling downtown to my wine-joint and favorite bar. Tomorrow will be a day of many stories.
