Woah, Ick

Last night I was all poised to write a blog about how great my day had been despite a little setback... I received the answer on the only last graduate school. It was a no go (they had over 10,000 applicants!), so for now, even though I'm wait-listed at two spots, I'm going to say that I won't be going to school next year. I am, however, filling out my application for Boston University so something could pan out after all. I still can't count on it though because I'll bet the 7000 applicants to a Yale graduate program that didn't get accepted are doing the same thing.

So despite the setback, I was ready to write about my lovely day when I became severely ill. I vomited 3 times violently. I had some drinks, but not many because I knew I'd eventually have to drive back to the hostel. I drank3 at one place between 4 and 7 (happy hour was just starting so I'm sure about the time). I had 2 at the other between 7 and 9:30.

Now those of you who know me know that less than 1 drink an hour should be just fine... I very often go out for drinks with friends and though I consume way less than I used to, I'm not one to vomit after that number of drinks. Besides, when I have vomited from alcohol, it's always been the next day... not that very same night starting about an hour later. Thus, I must conclude that I either ate something bad, or the anxiety of not getting into school just got to me. Regardless of what caused it, I was SICK with a smashing headache on top of the stomach thing. So, I couldn't blog... I actually have to leave soon for wherever it is that I'm going so I can't even do it now.

Quick run down and I'll fill in the details later... went to an art museum (have some photos to share), went to a cute area called dinkytown, bought a vintage dress that's pretty cool, went to a bar and had a lovely talk with the bartender as I wrote postcards, went to another bar and had another lovely talk with the bartender who recommended places to go in New Orleans and around town here. So, good day overall until the sicky thing.

Better get going for now. I'll write more later. Cheers.
