It's been a week since my last post and the only news I've heard on grad school since has been a rejection letter from the University of Miami (apparently they aren't accepting any M.A. students this year). Up until this weekend I was tearing my hair out in anticipation, however I've since relaxed a bit and accepted that it'll be some time before I hear final decisions from a lot of the schools I applied to. I've also started making alternate plans should this attempt in to grad school prove unsuccessful.
An interesting turn of events, for the past few weeks I've been getting high almost every night. Typically one of my two friends in this town will call me around 10:30 pm and make plans to get together around 11:30 or later. Though weed isn't typically part of the plan at this stage in the game, by the time we meet up, the first thing we do is smoke. The only negative effects of these late night smoke sessions has been a lack of sleep and less ambition to run in the morning (though I've only skipped my run once or twice). Most interesting lately has been the morning after I smoke. I usually wake up feeling very relaxed and border line apathetic about things that usually bug me. It's made work less frustrating and some how it helps me run further. Perhaps I simply need to relax more, which is actually much more difficult than it would seem.
Also, a little embarrassing but I've been a bit smitten with this girl I met on OkCupid (of all places). We've talked on line here and there and she seems like good company. From what I understand she'll be in Orlando this week for spring break, which is only about an hour away, so I figure I may try and work out an actually face to face meeting sometime soon. Plus The Drop Shop (perhaps the greatest record store in Fl) is in Orlando, so at least that makes the trip worth while even if things turn sour else where.
Here's hoping for another good night's smoking...

I had no fucking idea what most of the positions were so I applied for "Team Member" (original right?) and "Sales Associate" (God knows what the difference is...)
