From now on, I&#8217;ll be leaving work in the evening and it will still be light out. Actually, you don&#8217;t have to love DST, because I lost an hour of study time this weekend and getting up at 7am now feels like getting up at 6. <\/p>\n<p>Ugh.<\/p>\n<p>I might hate getting up in the morning, but I <i>am<\/i> looking forward to long evenings of sunlight. I&#8217;m especially looking forward for winter to be over so that we can have long evenings of sitting outside. <\/p>\n<p>What I&#8217;m not exactly sure about is where we&#8217;ll be sitting outside. Our lease is up at the end of May, but we can&#8217;t start looking for a new place yet because a) we have no idea if I&#8217;ll be in school or not and b) there are very few apartments out there right now with a June 1st start date. <\/p>\n<p>Who knew that I am the type of person who freaks out about not having a set place to live? I suppose that one could deduce that, by being the type of person who freaks out at the drop of a hat, I could easily freak out about our living situation. Still, I thought that I wouldn&#8217;t care so much about this. Last time around, Kristian was the one pushing for us to find a place and find it <i>now<\/i>. This time, we&#8217;re both looking at Craig&#8217;s List and wistfully telling each other, &#8220;this one looks nice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I suppose that a lot of my angst is tied up in finding out about grad school. Everything for next year is so up in the air. Will I be in school? Will I still be working full-time? Will I be in the same job? (note to Jeff: of course I will :p) Where will we be living? Will we be able to buy a house? These are the questions that would keep me up at night if I wasn&#8217;t so exhausted. Say what you will about sleep deprivation, it helps me to conk out quite nicely when I finally have time to go to bed.<\/p>\n<p><a href = \"http:\/\/www.starfabu.bravejournal.com\/\">Mary<\/a> had some excellent advice about taking things as they come and remembering that this isn&#8217;t the only chance that I&#8217;ll have to go back to school. She&#8217;s completely correct (as always). I just want to <i>know<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t imagine what will happen if I get wait-listed. My head might explode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You gotta love Daylight Savings Time.
