| I'm going to Gallaudet!!!  Now you've got incentive to learn sign if you wanna come visit me 
And don't worry, I promise I won't stop talking. I've got way too many
connections with hearing culture to just give it up. But I am
definitely excited to explore what potential I have in Deaf culture as
well.

| I've been informed that I have become rather cynical. I prefer to think
of it as realism rather than cynicism...but maybe the two are
essentially the same thing? Whatever the case, I'm definitely not
the naive, happy-go-lucky optimist I once was. But given my chosen
future profession, that could be a good thing. Naivety has no place in
social work.
Gally interview got pushed back to tomorrow. Wish me luck. <--- that's as close to "nervous" as I could get.
For now, back to studying for my motivation exam that is later today...hopefully I can find motivation to do so

| Videophone interview with Gallaudet next Tuesday!! Just gotta find a way around the fact that I don't actually have a videophone, nor have I ever used one Sooooo nervous/excited!!! Also, hopefully heading there for Rockfest April 6-9
I'm admittedly a bit biased...but I know in my heart that's where I want to be.

| It really sucks when you put so much time and effort into something,
and then feel like it didn't matter at all. I miss the days when I felt
like I was making a difference in someone's life.

| I've been feeling rather down lately. I'm also really tired all the time, even though I've been sleeping enough, and
have been getting headaches pretty frequently. Not as bad as they were
in high school, if any of you remember the hell I went through with
headaches back then. But definitely not fun nonetheless. What's causing this?
I can't believe I graduate in less than 3 months. Not that I'm done
with my education yet, but it's still a big step in life. I've applied
to Gallaudet and East Carolina University MSW programs. Both have
specific concentrations in Deaf/Hard of Hearing services. I'm also
working on an application to Syracuse's Counseling/Disabilities Studies
program. Am I ready to leave Indiana for good?
It also makes me sad that during my last semester at Purdue, everyone
is so incredibly busy. I know it's nobody's fault and everyone just has
an insane amount of things to do. But I can't help but feel a teensy
bit robbed. Some of my dearest friends I haven't even seen yet this
semester, and we all live within a few blocks of each other. Thinking
about that makes me scared for next year when I'm nowhere near anyone I
know. I feel so disconnected from people now, even the few people that
I do see on a regular basis. I have this complex where I feel bad
calling people, even the people that I call my closest friends, because
I'm afraid
of interrupting something since everyone is so busy all the time. Is
that normal?
Must work on keeping better touch with people who matter. I've already
let so many slip through the cracks, and it makes me sad. I
miss a lot of people more than they'll ever know. Do people think about
me, too?
Maybe I hold onto the past too much. I dunno.
What I do know is, I could really use a hug right about now. I'll settle for curling up in bed with Flop instead.
