Hello hello,
I know entries have been slightly scarce from me lately and I've had to resort to music blogs, but I simply cannot bring myself to write a cohesive entry as I am desperately lacking cohesive thought.
1) Grad school applications are ... coming along to say the least. I submitted my first one just last weekend actually. My next one isn't due for another three weeks, but I figure I'll be getting on it within this week. Of course, once you've written up one application, you've written them all. Just need to modify my Statement of Purpose to each specific school. Not a huge deal.
Aside from applications to various Communication Sciences and Disorders and Speech-Language Pathology programs across the US, I'm also applying to the Masters of Education program here at home. Unfortunately, the discipline that I wanted to apply for is currently running and so will not be offered for the upcoming session, but I have narrowed it down to two disciplines that I would like to take. I need to decide which to apply for, unless I apply for both I suppose. Increase my chances a bit. As much as I hope to get into a CSD or SLP program, I figure I would really enjoy doing an MEd, particularly in the disciplines I've chosen.
2) My little brother, who I suppose is not so little anymore turned 19 on Friday. I feel like he just turned 16 last year! In any case, my mom and I brought lunch into his "school" (he attends a vocational program for adults with special needs, but for simplicity's sake, we all refer to it as school) for lunch on Friday. It was nice to meet a few of the other participants in the program and their staff.
Last night we went for dinner. The original plan was Montana's, unfortunately the wait for a table was ridiculous so we ended up at Swiss Chalet. Never again. Ugh. The service was great, the food was awful. I don't even know what else to say. Just ... never again. I guess it explains why the place was probably only half-full at most. As for the general demographic of diners ... I'm really not surprised. haha!
3) I know that thick, "natural" eyebrows are the "in" thing right now, but there's a difference between thick and natural (excuse me as my immature brain giggles unyieldingly), and an ungroomed, hot mess. Clean it up, darling.
This point, I know, is superficial, and I have no excuses to provide!
4) Golden Globes were on tonight. While the GGs have never been my favourite award show, it just could not hold my attention at all! Even the red carpet coverage was sorely lacking - I can't believe how many times I didn't like a dress. Usually I'm "ooh"-ing and "ahh"-ing, but this year I just wasn't impressed nearly as much. A lot of the fashion was blah at best. Stand-outs were Michelle Dockery, Halle Berry, and all the gowns that Tina Fey wore while hosting, especially the blue halter-ish number she wore at the beginning of the show. I was expecting more, so I'm definitely disappointed; hopefully the Oscars don't disappoint me too!
5) Downton Abbey tonight - fabulous. Lots of giggles to be had, and lots of swooning over Dan Stevens. Yum. haha :)
Well ... I think that sums up this weekend. Granted, it wasn't my entire week(end), but I hope there was enough detail in there to make up for my lack of substantial posts.
Text block blogging coming up soon! (I haven't done one of those for a while, but I think it's the only way I can sum up all of my thoughts without actually having to apply syntax to them.)
