So far I've been doing well with my "no social media for a bit" plan. I've been able to do a lot more online than I usually do because I'm almost always scrolling through the tons of stuff on my Facebook news feed (which makes me think I should pare down on some of the stuff I follow once I return). Plus, I get to miss the whole local election crap that is probably everywhere. Ugh. It's brought a new clarity of mind. I've been learning to not post the minutiae of my life or have a knee-jerk reaction to post things when I'm highly emotional until I cool down a bit.
I do admit to posting things on my Evernote app whenever I have a thought that would make a good Twitter status. There will probably be an avalanche of tweets when I do return and for that I apologize in advance. I'll warn everyone ahead of time...
I've been going over my GRE study guide a little each day and getting the hang of the testing procedures and what is expected. I do look forward to see what the results of my meeting on Friday will mean for me in regards to it. I have a feeling I will still have to take it, but I hope they'll take my learning disability in consideration when going over the test results when it comes time to accept me into the program or not. I hope I can at least get a conditional acceptance where you take half the credit hours and keep a specific GPA before they'll accept you fully into the program. If I can get that, it's a foot in the door and then we can talk to the folks over at Financial Aide.
I think for Christmas this year, I'm gonna send out letters instead of cards. Letters are cheaper to mass produce. Some of you on here may get a lot of the same info I post on here, but there might be some differences.
I'll be doing an address post in a few weeks so that if anyone wants one, I can send them one and if anyone wants my address, they can have it as well.
I hope everyone had a pleasant Halloween and a good Thanksgiving to come (those of us in the US that is). I had a scary movie mini marathon (yes, you heard me) of Halloween, Halloween III Season of the Witch (which was highly amusing BTW), and The Fog (the original, not the remake). See, I can handle creepy and suspenseful movies, but not ones with a lot of gore or body horror (so no The Thing for me, thankyouverymuch).
I did forget to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas, which is a fave of mine. But, since it technically covers two holidays, I can watch it around Christmastime.
