Do it, do it! I took a Zumba class a while back at the rec center near me and it was SO FUN. Even if it is just you and old ladies, just enjoy the music. You'll get into it and won't even notice who else is there.

OMG.

Uuuuugh. My crazy dog is sitting smushed under my bed and won't come out, not even for treats. I seriously think she's half-cat sometimes.

Hooray! Go you! I agree, it's incredibly hard to do all this as a non-trad. I'm so glad to hear success stories from people who have done it though. Gives me hope :-)

Thanks! I've been putting it off and doubting myself for so long I'm still amazed I got through it!

Thank you!

Thanks! :-)

Ugh, it is SUCH a relief. I hope yours went well - are you in med school now?

Thank you and good luck with your grad school apps! :-)

Phew. What a day. I took the MCAT this morning. I am SO GLAD I got that over with. Right as I walked out of the test center, my friend texted me and said he knew I did great and that he was proud of me! That made me feel so great. I just love him to bits.

This makes me angry and I don't even have Verizon anymore. I went no-contract last year and I'll never go back. No matter how much my low-end Android annoys me sometimes.

You know, I used to be perpetually nice (like, to the point that I was a doormat), and still am non-confrontational like that to a great extent, but as I've gotten older I'm finding it's a lot easier to set me off and make me go apeshit. Maybe from spending most of my life holding it in and being too nice?

Okay, that's possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen. Benaddicts unite!

Oh God, that smirk. I die. #cumberbitch

I read that too after a break-up and leaving grad school...I didn't find it helpful either. You're definitely not alone with the burnout thing...I still have no idea what to do with my life. It's tough to find the motivation to make any kind of decision, and I feel like my latest go-back-to-school/change-my-career…

God damnit. I'm 3/4 of a bottle of wine in, enjoying my time alone, and then my mother walks in. GO AWAY. I am 30 years old for f's sake, I can drink as much as I damn well please.

So I made this casserole-ish thing for dinner with just egg noodles, cream of chicken soup, olive oil, and breadcrumbs. And it was deeeelish. That, lots of wine, and Netflix are making me (almost) forget the no-good, very bad, terrible couple of days I've had.

OMG bunnehs. I miss my sweet little Coco.

Ha! That analogy made me stop crying for a minute and laugh, so thanks for that. This month cannot be over quickly enough.

Y'all, if something doesn't start going my way I am going to LOSE MY SHIT. I keep getting piled on with more and more work, I'm taking a HUGE exam in a week that I do not in any way, shape or form feel prepared for (despite studying for it months and not being able to find the motivation ANYWHERE for last-minute…
