I learned a bit of disturbing news today from a good friend I haven't spoken to in a long time. Very disturbing indeed. I won't get into specifics but some people? Seriously need to take some anger management classes and stop taking things out on the ones they purport to love. My mom was telling me about a client of hers who has anger management problems and how she's improved a lot by remembering my mom's advice when she gets angry: Leave the room and write down why you are angry before going off on anyone about it. Sage advice. My mom is an awesome therapist. Too bad she's my mom cause I could sure use some therapy (not so much anger management, but I have my own set of issues to deal with, and no I don't blame my mom for them, they are mine and I own them).

Anyway, I (finally) received verbal confirmation today that, yes, indeed, I have been accepted both into my program and into the school. Supposedly I should officially be in the system by tomorrow (or at worst the day after) and then I can finally get the ball rolling on my financial aid. The day before I'm slated to move into my on-campus housing =P As Grace said, I am cutting it close. But that's just how I roll apparently.

My grandparents are visiting from Taiwan right now before they leave with the rest of the family (minus me and my dad) to Michigan for my cousin's wedding. Tonight before my Ama (grandmother) went to bed she gave me a hug and said "I love you" (in English) and then said (in Taiwanese) "You were such a cute kid and you knew how to speak Taiwanese so well too." I'm telling myself it's her way of saying I'm one of her favorites =) Or else she's saying I used to be so awesome and now I just kind of suck. But since she's my Ama I doubt that's what she meant. Somehow I think grandparents are even more starry-eyed about their grandchildren than parents are about their kids.
