I am very confused.
* The book I was reading ended with a Watchmen quote. This made me happy.
* Some people came up for astronomy viewing last night and we looked at the moon, because it was the only thing to see through the clouds. I let them screw up the pointing, since there was nothing else to point at, and look at all the craters and things. It was a lot of fun for all of us.
* I got rejected from the school I really wanted to go to, which leaves me with the one I really didn't want to go to.
* The school I don't want to go to will pay me a lot of money to get my masters degree in a field I really don't want to continue in. I would come out of it very employable or a step forward in my education, but in the wrong direction (physics, instead of astronomy. Think about taking Electromagnetism at the grad level, or Cosmology. Which one sounds more fun? I have a very easy answer, and it's not the first one).
* My boyfriend and two of my friends would probably let me move across the country to room with them somewhere (three separate places, I'd have to choose one), wherever that ends up being, but I have no idea what job I would acquire. From the look of everyone else I know who's graduating this year, employment options are thin for new college grads.
* I'm half qualified to do a lot of things, and fully qualified to do almost nothing. It's frustrating in the extreme when I'm looking at jobs.
* My most appealing option so far is teaching high school physics or math. Catholic schools often don't require teaching certification, and I found a few counties who are willing to hire you if you agree to obtain your degree while you work there, which is an easy promise for me to make.
* I could move back home, but I don't want to live at home any more, and I still don't know what job I'd get. On the other hand, my parents would not make me pay for rent or food, so if I do end up unemployed for a while, I wouldn't die. But they wouldn't tolerate me not at least trying really hard to find a job.
* My current physics teacher is a senile idiot who shouldn't be teaching anymore at his age, and it sounds harsh and ageist, I know, but it's the truth. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Today he gave us a lecture (taken word for word from the book) on material that was on the exam we just took. It's a bit late to try teaching it, don't you think? I for one would have appreciated the information more sometime last week.
* I watched Angel for the first time in a long time last night. Dead End. "I got these evil hand issues." I forgot how much I loved Lindsay, and his gorgeous voice. I used to have the song he sings in that episode downloaded, and now I need to find it again.
* ( I really liked Kings last week. )
* I have less than two weeks to figure out what I'm doing for the forseeable future.
* Whatever move I make, I'll either be transferring after I get my masters, or reapplying to grad school next year, after re-taking the physics GRE, which I bombed. That, or looking for astronomy programs that don't require the GRE, of which I think there are at least a few. I'll be down the hundreds of dollars I spent applying this time around, but what do you do?
* C'est la vie (I have two entirely different songs on my computer with that name. Interesting).
