Unfortunately, yeah, it adds up quick - the GREs are $115 (plus, I think $10 for every notification beyond the 3 free ones), and then application fees are generally $30-50 a pop. It probably depends on your field, but I remember it being about that (adjusting for inflation) for Phil, and that's what it is nowadays for policy.

The Sudan event was sponsored by Adat Shalom, a reconstructionist congregation in DC; I'm a member of a secular humanist Jewish congregation, and was supposed to be part of our delegation to it (of which delegation there wasn't much, because of a comedy of errors).

I don't think, at this point, you should feel all that guilty about the relationship. You're not giving her 100% what she wants, but if we felt guilty whenever we weren't making sure that people around us got what they wanted... it'd be a nervewracking life. By being honest with her, at least you're letting her make an informed choice about things. I mean, were it to come to a pass where you were pretty sure she didn't take your professions of nonmonogamy seriously, you might need to get more paternalistic. But so far, it doesn't sound as if you're there.

Sorry to hear about work and housing woes. I don't know of any rooms opening up, but I'll keep you in mind if I hear about anything. This can be a hard time, as you're competing with all the interns in for the summer.

I've always been like this....it's just getting worse.....I literally swung my schedule full circle (ie started going to bed so late I was "going to bed early" the next day.) You'd think it'd take me a few weeks to get back off-track....but no.....it took a day.

Coming from a girl that does not say the word monogamy with out choking, I do understand where you are coming from. I have never felt guilty though about the fact I'm non monogamous, until this relationship with Neel. Every relationship I have been upfront about and honest. I have never once been in a monogamous relationship, and know that I cannot do it. *shrug* You do the best you can, and you be honest about it. I had boyfriends of the variety that did not want to know, and that is fine, but I also told them, I do not want to hear you chattering to your friends how I cheated on you. You do that, and I'm going to run your ass over. I'm not too sure what I'm going to do about Neel, because I want him to feel secure, but at the same time, I know that I'm not going any where. Ah well. Good luck love.

It's always good to start a relationship as honestly as possible.

I'd love to come to one of the game nights. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to the next one. We'll see.
