Whoosh!!!

That's how this week went by. Wow so much has happened. Where to start.

First, I've seen to have stumbled to across a possible to answer to my PhD prayers. I meet Peter Jaegar in the flesh this week (he's much more normal than Jeff Hilson, thank god) because he was teaching our poetry class this week on conceptual poetics and that was interesting. But anyway, while talking to him, he told me about the Sacred Heart Scholarship which apparently gives one full ride arts international student a free pass to attend school year, determined on academic merit and financial need. I'm not sure that I qualify as far as academia is concerned, but the financial part? Absolutely. 100,000 is quite a large sum to come up on my own. If I did get it, I'd only have to ask for 30,000 for 3 years as opposed to 100,000 which would be great. So that's part one, I'll have to get on that in late April.

Secondly, I finally finished my MA thesis proposal for my full length script, "Skin Deep." Yay. Hopefully I'll be able to do everything I said I would satisfactorily because I don't want to end up in another Leone-esque situation. I mean technically, I don't give a damn so long as everything is passed and I get through with my degree. But it would be nice. It'd be funny to me if I ended up with a higher score in screenwriting than fiction. But then again, my story matter this time around is drastically different than what it was for Leone. So we'll see.

Thirdly, I decided to be proactive and decided to apply for the MIUSA job that I saw in my email at the end of last month. It's for the position of NCDE of project manager, and this job has some huge implications. If I do get it, it would be my first major job outside of internships would be great. The first step in a long line of them, I suppose. But there's some major things alongside of that. I mean, at this point, I guess it's not that big a deal. First off, I'd have to leave my dream of this PhD (and possibly Peter which he's very obsessed with) which would mean I'd have to just stop this whole education thing and focus on a career, which would be fine I guess, but dammit I was looking forward to the name Dr. D'Arcee Charington. That doesn't mean that it's over of course, but it's a thought. I'd also have to move to Oregon in order to do that job, which would be fine I suppose, it'd just be different. Another new city, another life, another adventure. On the upside, Christina, Alison and Haben are all there and Zana wouldn't be too far away either, so that'd definitely help. I'd be back in the States and doing something that I'd really enjoy which is awesome. I shall be anxiously awaiting that email for an interview.

Fourth, George decided to make another non-appearance Monday night and at this point, I'm totally over it. If he hasn't gotten the point that I'm upset with him, than he's just stupid. It's one thing to blow me off the first time, but it's quite another when you KNOW what you did wrong the last time and then to do it again?! Unfathomable. So yeah I guess I won't be knowing carnal bliss with that man. He can kiss my ass for all I care. That so pisses me off. And while I'm at it, I might as well throw in Stefan to the mix, as he too decided not to make an appearance this week, and then was apologizing to try and cover it up. Might I also add, he messaged me today telling me he was around and was trying to make it sound like my fault because I didn't answer his message. A: I was sleep B: We didn't set it up. It's completely different if you decide to drop in on someone unannounced, because you take the risk of them not being around. It's not that I don't think about what these guys do when they ask to see someone, but if you're going to ask to do something make a damned EFFORT!!! I hate that I waste time and then there's nothing to show for it. It makes you feel so stupid. But you know what? that's perfectly alright because why I was fuming at Stefan the next point showed up...

And last, but definitely not least and arguably the best in the list is Peter Lemanski. He hit me up on GayRomeo randomly while I was just checking messages and we started talking. I like him. A lot, I might've as well go and say it. He's 23, and into dance and techno, many of my sexual likes, and video games. Yay!! It's like the perfect package rolled into one. Do I care that he's Polish? Absolutely not. Only two things keep this from being the best thing in the universe. A: His work schedule is terrible, as he only gets days off in between, which is really odd. But it's okay. He was telling me that he has the week of my birthday off which is FABULOUS, because he said he'd spend it with me (which makes me feel like Sean Harry now with his Italian lover) that would be the best present in the world...outside of the Sex and the City boxset and Final Fantasy XIII...lol. And B: He seems to be drastically concerned with me leaving in the future, which I suppose is a very real concern but I mean I'm at the moment thinking that can I just live in the moment???? Please???? I don't want him to blow my super high, because it feels great and I absolutely, absolutely cannot can NOT wait till Tuesday.
