- This is the understatement of the week. Last year during an eight-week period
- starting sometime in October and ending about two weeks before Christmas,
- EVERYONE wanted to go out with me (well, okay, actually a fairly small
- subset of everyone- felt like everyone, though) right while I was trying
- to figure out whether or not to go to graduate school, and I nearly
- experienced a total breakdown. It's nice to be popular, but there's such
- a thing as an embarassment of riches. (If I spelled that wrong, no flames
- please- there's no dictionary handy).
-
- Of course, such situations never last. Sniffle. Sob.
