Plus, I sort of lost track. I will say that today I hardly thought about smoking and the one time I did it was because I noticed I wasn't thinking about smoking. I'm almost 30 days totally smoke free now. I feel better mentally and haven't coughed at all.
I had a couple of bad days last week. I heard through the sixth floor rumor mill that I spoke too long at the GTA interview with one of the candidates for the creative writing director. I don't care though. 1) I do think I understand what our program needs, since I have been at WSU since the beginning of time and have watch it go downhill and 2) I'm the president of EGSA. I just thought it was funny that I had to hear about it from Albert and not from my fellow classmates. We have two more candidates coming to visit and I am excited to see what they have to offer before I put in any real word of recommendation for any of them. I would like to see our program become a great one instead of the so-so one it is now.
I've had a pretty nice weekend, which was needed after all the stress with Patrick and school. Friday I went to a party at Joe and Casey's. I drank a whole bottle of wine and laughed a lot. Last night I had my annual Chinese New Year's party. The crowd was small but all my close friends came and it was nice to see some of them after not having time to really catch up. It was over by a decent time and I was happy to be in bed by 2:30. Today, I went ran some errands and did the laundry. I have done a little submitting and made a nice dinner for Sid and I.
I am looking forward to the rest of my week to go by fast. I have quite a few things to take care of before I leave in
4 days....
