to-do

[sigerson]

emails to write:
one to old friend, attempting to summarize last ten years
one to complete an interview for a grad school thesis project
one to dad, someday, bringing up a sore point so it doesn't become a permanent source of irritation
two to friends inviting them to various things

rooms to clean:
my study
our bedroom
the bathroom
the stairs

things to make:
dinner
quilt
plans

dreams to dream:
porch swing and tea
pilot at the podium
knee deep in the lake
great tree in the field

thoughts to think:
family and connection
purpose and intent
absolute and relative morality (or mortality)


conclusion reached:
like Schroedinger's cat, simultaneously alive and dead until the box is opened and the wave collapsed, I exist simultaneously ecstatic and despondent, carefree and weighted with plans, until Tuesday when the admissions office can be called.

mojo and love to you all; sweet dreams.

absolute and relative morality (or mortality)
I like the idea of relative mortality....
Wish I could be there on Tuesday.

A remarkably succinct and deep post. :)

Hopefully entertaining your little sib and enjoying her company will help keep you occupied until Tuesday.

mmm, hang in there, sweetie, and either way, just remember that an admission committee's answer has nothing to do with who you are as a person. Just remember my experiences with schools and fellowships and hopefully you can take comfort in the crapshoot that is, occasionally, graduate school.

I don't know if you meant this as a poem, but it's a great one.
:)
good luck.
