A migraine too.

I’m going to work on my novel some more, print off my stuff and be in bed by 10 I think.

I hate funks.

All that’s left is to print it and turn it, and my undergraduate and graduate transcripts, in tomorrow and wait.

If I get funding that means I will begin applying for Fulbrights and other fellowships to conduct my dissertation research in Germany in about a year or so.

If I don’t get the FLAS money it means Dissertation Plan B (involving a particular group of Tumblr bloggers) goes into effect.

I’m fine either way. Mostly.

This might be my favorite veggie combination.

Remember When — Alan Jackson

I’m generally not a big fan of Alan Jackson, but this song is so pretty.

I don’t know if I agree with all of them, but this list is pretty great. Reminds me of why I love books so much.
