Had a great cappuccino and muffin with Sam for breakfast. I shouldn't be posting, but I had a burst of happiness and energy this morning after g-chatting with Vncnt for a few minutes. Just the idea of biking home with him at the end of the day makes me bubbly.
For those who have not heard, our Little Vinny is now an official Rhodes scholar. It's been a long process and the guy totally deserves it. I'm really happy for him, and proud too. I'm especially happy that I was "with him" (via gchat) while he was waiting for the call. He called me first (!), but I missed it by a few minutes. I love that he's (one of) my best friend(s). I used to think he resisted this idea of 'friends' and 'groups' because I thought he thought that they waste time and energy or something. But the truth is, 'friends' and 'groups of friends' are the best. They're comforting (see The Birds of a Feather post).
Obviously, I'm a little bit conflicted about his departure next october, but I feel way more zen that I would have a few weeks ago. For some reason, I feel really sad that he won't be here, but I trust that we'll be alright. I think I might skip the option of going to Cuba (which I don't think I'll get anymore -- thanks to my lazyness in filling out some form) and save up to go to England.
This sort of throws my post-grad plans in a loop too... Maybe I'll seriously consider East Anglia (which is in England)... although, the way things are going, Mcgill still seems like the likeliest option.
En tout cas, I'm writing an essay about The Royal Tenenbaums which I am super pumped about. It makes me feel very cool.. which is weird but fun too.

He's headed for the presidency! Or a jaded life of an intellectual.
Whichever eats away at his soul first.
Sorry, very bitter. Job recruiter just told me they were no longer hiring; company in tight squeeze; the economy sucks.
