I think the response to my last post was one of my favorite sets of comments on this blog, thanks a lot for the advice/support/sharing of your own experiences. I forgot to mention that this weekend is my monthly trip to visit M, so I'll be away for a few days. The timing could've been one reason things have been a bit tense over the past week or so. I think as the month wears on, both M and I get a bit lonely and grouchy, even though we text throughout the day and talk on the phone a few times a week, and that makes small things more likely to feel disproportionately upsetting.
I had an interview with a potential PhD adviser yesterday, and it kind of threw me for a loop. I think I performed fine. It was a dinner meeting, which always adds kind of another layer of stress to the situation but I think I handled it okay. What really bothered (and is still bothering me) is that I left not really sure that the position is what I want, for several reasons. I had really been building up the opportunity in my mind, and now I feel a bit adrift as far as what I'm aiming for or what I can plan for. Oh well, I still have some time to figure it out.
On the plus side, I got to hang out with my homegirl Amy, so it was worth the 8 hour drive! And now I'm at M's place for my monthly dose of being spoiled rotten. (By the way, his two older brothers are totally available, fyi...just kidding, of course, but I think his mama knew how to raise boys right! ;p ).
Alright, I hope everyone has a great weekend, love y'all.
