me, and them:
them: because i know it matters a great deal to all of you, i now report that my friend's mother informs us they were mistaken about the ages of the children in yesterday's messages. anastasia was born 1996; valentina, 1997; katerina, 1998; and sergei, 1999. (they've been at the orphanage apparently since 2001, poor lambs.) it's a good thing we got that all straightened out. :-)
me: thank you all for your sympathy in the wake of georgetown's decision. i'm actually far less upset about it than i would have predicted, which means one of two things: that i'm utterly exhausted, or that it was the right choice for them to make. i want the phd, but i don't feel like oh my god what will i do now if i don't get it, which is a decent place to be. so, it's a disappointment -- i'd have liked them to say we love you, baby. come home -- but not a disaster. plus, my three applications to the british universities are still out there. cambridge and edinburgh both required me to submit passport photos with the applications, so i suppose i should pin all my hopes on oxford, where they aren't equipped to reject me for being funny-looking.
leaving work in one hour to go curling! curling yay!
