So, the sun is finally out and it looks like it’s going to be a nice day, here in the Nation’s Capital. In fact, tomorrow aside, it might even be a nice week. Won’t that be a nice change?
Today it’s back to calling up editors and getting my next couple of projects lined up and underway. Friday was all about grad school meetings, and that wound up being a huge headache. Okay, not the meetings – those went fine. No, it was when I went to apply for student loans to make up the difference in what I’m not getting in scholarships and funding. The people in the Awards Office sent me to a website, which I went to, spent two hours filling out various things (including having to dig up all manner of things from my undergrad), and after all of that, the website tells me that I’m eligible for $100 of funding. I kid you not - $100. Wow – because that’s going to make all the difference in the world. Seriously, WTF? It was at that point that I reached my “Hulk Smash!” level of rage and headed off to the gym to work it out before I did smash something. So today or tomorrow, I get to head back to the Awards Office and have a sit-down with someone and figure something out because seriously, that’s not funny.
My party on Saturday night was quite fun. I saw a few faces that I hadn’t seen in a very long while, and it was lovely just to have a chance to hang out with my friends again. That said, attendance was a little on the low side because it’s summer and a lot of people were out of town, including pretty much every one of my journalist friends. Alas! But I had lots of fun, as you can see.

Tonight I don’t have much in the way of plans. I’ll likely watch a couple more episodes of
Skins and finish reading
