I finished my third semester of grad school today
which is totally terrifying!! This has been a two-year cushion during which I have not had to face the real world. But I guess that’s coming up for sure, this time?

I'm nervous.
I woke up with a million little white bumps on the back of my tongue near my tonsils, and it really hurts to swallow.
I feel fine otherwise, so I don’t know if it would make sense for me to have strep? I guess I should go get it checked today before my friends come to visit for the weekend :(

I have three friends here.
My boyfriend used to live here, too. But now he doesn’t.
So — I’m not exaggerating when I say I have three friends in this town. It’s weird. I’m a fairly social person, and I’ve tried to meet more than three people since moving here, but for now that’s what I’ve got. It used to bother me, but now it doesn’t. I like my three friends.

I bought the coat!
I am very nervous about all of this.
But also, excited.

Awkward.
One of our professors sends out the class grade spreadsheet every week after he grades our weekly quiz (why we are taking quizzes in graduate school, I will never know.) Anyways, he had us make up secret PINs at the beginning of the semester so the grades would be anonymous.
This week, he went ahead and sent the grades with the PINs…and every student’s first and last name next to...

coffee is actually pretty easy to spill when you don’t put the lid on.

OMG
I saw the man in the kilt at Taco Tuesday tonight and I managed to walk by him without stopping to discuss the Utili Kilts website.
I really wanted to, though.

Cotton Jones
I always knew I liked Cotton Jones, but I stumbled upon one of their albums in my music library yesterday and wondered why I had not been listening obsessively all along.

What does it all mean?
I own three cameras: one small digital camera, a digital SLR [inherited from my grandfather], and my computer’s web cam.
In the past two months, I have somehow managed to break all three of said cameras, without dropping them or smashing them with hammers.
They simply stopped taking pictures out of nowhere.
I’m wondering if this is some sort of sign from the universe.

nerd-gasms asked: I wouldn't recommend the Birthday Cake one but I've had the Rocky Road too and that one was delish. So if you are in need of a tiny cake on a stick (who isn't?) that's the one I'd go for.

You say “Stay At Home Girlfriend,” I read “Unemployed Roommate.”
I read this and felt nauseous in a very real way.

I cleaned everything really well — except for my roommate’s room. He’s been super busy this week with school stuff and his room is kind of, well, messy. I feel weird cleaning it for him, though. I guess the prospective roommates can just picture what it will be like without stuff in it?
I don’t know. I don’t really know how this will go. Am I supposed to offer them...

TMI? Probably TMI.
But anyways. I woke up yesterday with a soreness underneath my right arm (in my armpit). I could find a lump/area that was swollen, but didn’t see any bruising. My immediate thought was, hey, this is a sign of REALLY BAD THINGS!
When I woke up this morning, BOTH underarms were sore/swollen. I don’t feel sick in any other way. I decided to go to the student health service, but when I...

And now
I know that I have a saved tag that says “especially when you take tequila shots.”

Anyone else listen to Radical Face?
I have a feeling this could be one of those bands I just completely missed the boat on. I know the album “Ghost” came out in ‘07, and after two days of repetitive listening, I also know that it is beautiful.

I've actually had 13 responses to my ad so far.
Unfortunately, most of them have been 3-4 years younger than me, or I’ve judged them for some other reason after internet stalkage, or they have pets (which are not allowed), or they are “not interested in the nightlife.”
Maybe I’m just being ridiculously picky, but I guess I will continue to be that way until crunch time rolls around.

We're about to throw my sister a wedding shower.
We’re having cake and punch and all that jazz, but I think I would rather this be a wedding TAILGATE.
We could play wedding cornhole, drink some 10 a.m. wedding beers, and all be taking naps by 2 p.m.

Sandwich.
I just got to my grandma’s house and she is out running errands. I started browsing through her fridge for snacks and found a sandwich comprised of the following:
ham
turkey
bacon
swiss cheese
American cheese
lettuce
tomato
I want it sooo badly, but I feel like eating my grandma’s sandwich from her fridge would be a new low and I’d be condemned to hell for all eternity...

I just had the most terrifying dream of my life.
It seemed to last for hours, so I won’t go into all the horrible details, but I will say that the end of the dream involved the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz flying in through the window of my car, refusing to get out, and taunting me in a very MEAN way.
I just knew there would be long-term psychological effects of watching Wizard of Oz every morning as a 2-year-old.

And by “everyone” I mean my Facebook friends. People recommended TV shows, movies, and documentaries which would probably make me smarter and more well-rounded as a human being.
I went ahead and moved “Dawson’s Creek Season 1” to the top of my queue.

But why isn't my death glare working?
Homegirl here in my Coffee Shop of Choice is using her computer, and it is making noises, and SHE DOES NOT HAVE HEADPHONES.
Every few seconds it is making a sound that reminds me a lot of the old AIM chat notification.
It is not ok.
I am giving her a constant death glare.
It is not working. She and her computer belong in the pits of hell.

I just don't.
One of the first things I noticed upon moving to this mountain town is that NO ONE HERE USES UMBRELLAS.
I do not understand why.
I was walking down the main street in August when the sky opened up and dumped buckets and buckets of water down on all of us, and I was the ONLY ONE in sight carrying an umbrella. I wondered to myself if everyone else somehow forget theirs that day, but no! People...

Is this real life?
I just received an email from one of my professors from last semester (of my least favorite class ever). I was curious to see why she emailed me because I am not in her department and took her class as an elective.
She said she reviewed my grade, realized she forgot to add in 5 points, and I actually earned an A instead of B. She said she submitted a grade change request.
What?? Am I dreaming? I...

So begins the roommate search
My roommate is moving out at the end of the summer. Being the generally anxious person that I am, I decided to start looking for a roommate NOW so I can find one by spring. I’ve asked around, but I don’t know anyone who needs a place.
I posted on the university’s housing message board, and so far I have received two responses:
1. One girl responded who is four years younger...
