Fear-mongering.

My boss, the one I won't have for much longer, showed me his new bumper sticker yesterday. It reads:

"Give al-Qaeda a chance - Vote Obama 2008. "

Sigh.

So does she stab him if he leaves the toilet seat up?

Lordy.

In Like Flynt.

Kids, I'm going back to school this fall! Although one professor described the program as "hell," I am giddy with excitement! He also emailed me the syllabus for his class. We shall now refer to him as "Professor Shock and Awe." I shall not be daunted! To quote Meg Ryan in "French Kiss,"
"I will triumph!!!"

On another note, did you WATCH LOST TONIGHT? WHAT???? Move the island? WHAT???? I love this show so much!

Megan's Super Tuesday

I found out at 8:45 am today that I have a grad school interview at 1 pm... today. Holy crap! Apparently the professor had been emailing me at my UNCC address (even though I gave him my other email...) that I have been locked out of for some time now and it's in STONE today at 1pm. So now I'm frantically rehearsing my responses for the questions (I hope) I'll be asked. If they pull any surprises on me... well let's just hope it's one of those days where I'm quick on my feet.

Apparently I am meeting with four different professors, one-on-one. I like one-on-one... it helps quell my fear of a "panel interview." That idea just makes me nauseous. Plus, one of the professors I had for Senior Seminar and the other is one doing body image research. I met her a couple of months back and she's really cool. So hopefully I'll knock those other two off their feet and soon I'll be posting about my admittance letter! I'm going to try to limit my caffeine (which should be easy as I haven't had any yet today) between now and then so I don't get that "she must be on speed" demeanor that I sometimes get when put on the spot. Wish me luck.

In other news, GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!!!!!
