Today, I opened my mailbox, certain, it being Monday, that I would find that nice big fat envelope from Ohio State. Disappointment, yet again. However, in good news, OSU informed my father that if accepted, I would only have to pay in-state tuition at OSU, which is awesome. That's what I was hoping for, and will save me 10 grand for the first year.
Procrastination and wasting time turns out being useful, after all: this morning while laboring away in the graphics lab, I discovered I could apply online to a job at the Apple Store in Columbus. They have three positions available, and I have a chance, it seems to me, at at least one of them. I did so, and with any luck, I could be working my dream job as an Apple Specialist part time throughout the summer. Yes, I know I like Apple way too much, and yes, this may be setting my goals ponderously low, but at least there's one job in the world I would love doing.

Parents Weekend
I'm not really sure why parent's weekend disgusts me so much. Maybe its all the yuppy parents who descend on Hillsdale. Its as though my school is being invaded by all these foreigners who don't normally belong. Maybe its just because my parents never come.
I got the iPod Shuffle armband yesterday. I had to wait more than a month for it, it cost $30, and I'm a tad disappointed with. Yes, its small and looks great, but 30 bucks seems a tad steep. $20-25 would have been much more fair. Apple overprices their accessories, but oh well, at least now I can run and lift with my iPod Shuffle conveniently out of the way.
Every day I open my mailbox, hoping to see that big fat envelope from Ohio State. Every day so far I've been disappointed. Its one of the many things in my life slowly driving me insane. I've already been accepted to MSU, but the prospect of spending the next 3 years in Lansing does not appeal to me at all. If I don't get into a law school I want to go to, I'm just not going to law school next year.
Till next time.

Considerations
I haven't blogged in a while. I drummed at Eileen's senior recital last Friday. Its was just a little set of Scottish tunes, but everyone on campus has been complimenting me on it. We practiced for like 10 minutes the night before. I'm like, "its just what I do". Either I'm really talented on the bodhran, or people just have no idea about drumming. I'm leaning towards the latter.
Man, its been a hellish sort of week. I've realized that I'm a few weeks behind in a few of my classes, which has me in a tizzy of self-punishment. At least I'm actually beginning to study again.
Sarah and I talked on the phone for 2.5 hours on Saturday evening. She realizes she wants to be with me, but only if I really, really want to be with her. I'm still not sure what to do...all I know is that I'm pretty lonely in that big ol' house of mine, but I'm definitely not ready to start seeing anyone else. If only Hillsdale didn't suck so bad.
In good news, I'm gradually beginning to recover my faith. One eventually tires of delving into the morass of philosophic inquiry.
Why is it that whenever I talk to people they seem bored with more, or not interested in me? Am I a boring person? Yet, this only seems to happen at Hillsdale. Must be that Hillsdale people are boring...or perhaps I'm just bored with Hillsdale people. Either way...I just need to fucking get out of this place.

Angst no more
For the past week or so, I've been sorta moping around. I suppose I feel slightly lost, now that my future has completely changed since Sarah and I broke it off. Today, though, I've realized I need to stop moping and start accomplishing. Time to rid myself of my existential listlessness and begin caring again. A life where one is not engaged, with no passion, is hardly worth the bother.
Of course, this all might be pushed by the looming spectre of midterms coming up, and I'm pretty far behind in most of my classes. Too much time spent with NCAA Football.
In other good news, I'm surprised at how I'm beginning to enjoy my Reist class. I think he's beginning to dispel the debilitating doubt about Christianity I've had for the past two years. Strange, too, that now that I've broken up with Sarah, I thnk I believe in God again.
Weird, huh?

Observations
Observation 1: Being sick with some sort of wicked virus for 2 and a half days really sucks.
Observation 2: I was truly fooling myself when I thought things with Sarah were going well...I think I was talking myself into it. It's pretty lonely in Hillsdale for me anymore, and I think I wanted to avoid being alone.
Observation 3: Being single isn't that bad.
Observation 4: Dances at Hillsdale suck.
Observation 5: I feel like I've dodged a bullet.
Till next time, kiddoes.
