most likely am moving to oregon in about 6 weeks. i doubt it will be very different than washington, and it's only like 6 hours away. never been there before. all i'm worried about is how small the town is. like only 10,000 people. so there's probably nothing to do but go to walmart. at least it's a blue (and green) state.

I wouldn't trust no words written down on no piece of forum; especially from no FoolofaTook out in the Walla Wallean Vale...

You're just as likely to find your own grave.

It is true that I have cancelled bazillions of meetings at the last minute, all of them in Korea. And I was on the verge of running today. But I didn't.

It's not like I've accomplished anything. It was her idea and she clearly just wants to be friends. I also had a mini meltdown before so none of this casts me in a flattering light.

Have I mentioned that she wore boots?

Hey man, that's cool. Nothing wrong with making more friends. And who knows, maybe a spark will develop sometime down the road?

my new girlfriend is turning 40 next week and she wants to spend that evening with me... she expressed wanting to go to a certain spa. i said i'm taking care of it but what i plan is to rent a room in a nice hotel that has a spa and a great restaurant... i'm just afraid, i.e. i know she'll complain that i overdid it. + it's not the same spa that she said is her favorite but going to that one spa would make it harder to arrange dinner and stuff on top and not feel pressed for time. i just think she should have a special night for this kind of birthday. + she's kind of living on a budget right now so it's a good excuse to take her out, which she won't let me do usually.

i'm thinking of maybe just getting room service from said restaurant, and enjoy the room more, but it's a very restricted menu

So long as you don't do that thing where social anxiety drives one to sabotage a flourishing relationship, platonic or otherwise.

I am happy. That was good. I feel great. I wish I had some kittens or puppies to share this with.

My mother does not approve, however.

Good for you man. I definitely understand how the dating and meeting new people thing can feel a little awkward once you reach your 30's. But no other way to do it than just jumping on in.

Monique is married.

And I am going to Salzburg via Orlando. My parents think they can convince my uncle to take me on as help for a couple of months. Then school in Europe (maybe)? Somewhere. without legal weed.

good luck.

pretty sure i'm not getting into grad school right now. no interview calls/mails.

im going to a conference in mid feb and after that i will be officially looking for a mental health related job.

maybe get some experience, volunteer at a lab and try again next year. bite the bullet and reapply at the schools i did and add some really easy schools to get into as well ($$$$$$) just so i can eventually do what i want. or perhaps change to something else, like social work.

i'm definitely not done with my school career but it looks like i'll be having a year off or more.

pretty disappointed but my very adaptive human brain is already listing reasons why maybe it's good for me to take a year off, really get this stuff i've been working on in therapy out of me, and really be ready to apply to schools both near and far and be done with this phase of ptsd therapy. i definitely wasn't going to be done by this fall but i figured miami isn't that far away and i could still have therapy once a week most of the time

honestly i'm shocked, but i never understood schools anyway. sounds like you already know the positives of having some time away, but getting experience is seriously invaluable, especially before specializing in grad school. good effin luck

I totes forgot another good thing that happened to me today. I went to Shari's to check up on my dishwasher app (I washed dishes for a year and a half in Michigan). The manager wasn't in but a waitress took (MUSTAPHAT) my name and number. As I left she asked me if I worked at the fair last summer. I shamefacedly admitted to it. She goes "My husband and I thought you were great with the kids. You were only worker who smiled and joked with them (it was 110 degrees) I'll make sure to put in a good word for you."

So not everyone in this town hates me!

Depending on the spa you may have the option of floating pool meals! That can be very romantic.

Or they could go to a Les Discrets concert. Les Discrets >>> Spa

Reprise how many schools did you apply to? I got turned down from all four that I applied to. So I went to Korea.

Oh dang I always forget you guys are on winter times up north.
Yeah, the place would have to have indoor climatized pools.

Sorry, not helpful at all!

only 2. miami and the school my sister is a professor at (different program though).

in a way i know i'm not ready to move away so this was some kind of compromise. i just don't want to give up on all of this because i have to wait another year to get accepted, and more than 1 1/2 to start if i'm accepted

You probably know this but I think it helps to contact the Professors in your department at the school you are applying to. I think someone even suggested to me to go visit but who has the time/money for that?
