Good Day, Bad Day
Yesterday was a fairly good day. I found out, unofficially, that my graduate application has been accepted. That is exciting! No word yet as to the fellowship or assistantship I was hoping to get. I do know, that if I continue to work for the school I can get a tuition waiver as long as I am full time. Which is cool, because I’d also be getting a $1 an hour raise (on top of the raise they’ve already given me to $12). Nice!
I spoke with Justin today about doing some work for them (basically splitting my time half and half with Faculty Center and Undergraduate Studies.) It sounds like a real opportunity. I’d be one of their web developers, and pretty much working on my own. The team they have there sounds like a good solid one - they have print people, Justin is amazing with graphic design, they just don’t have a coder. So we could all make some pretty kick ass websites.
The sad thing I discovered today is that my friend from work, Jason, is sick in the hospital with pneumonia! His parents called to let us know he’d been admitted and to ask what to do about his schooling. Poor guy is probably going to have to file medical withdrawal when he comes back, which I know is a pain in the ass. Sucks. Oh and hey, the 20th was Greg and I’s anniversary. We’re not even celebrating the monthly ones anymore.
Speaking of Greg, he’s not happy. He drinks every night. It isn’t all me, and it’s not all his work, and I guess its just a bunch of things that he feels “aren’t working out” or something. I mean, one minute he’s fine but by the time night rolls around he can be moody, depressed, and feels like going to alcohol to make himself feel better. This is bad, because he’s going to become an alcoholic.
