It's pretty much resolved now that Rowan isn't coming back. I know I'm going to have a huge crying jag over this; I just don't know when.
As for my first week of graduate school, well, to be honest everything I've got to do seems a bit overwhelming. I just keep telling myself that, now more than ever, school is a job for me, so I've got to get this stuff done. Maybe I'll have to cut down on my DDR or something like that, but I have to get this degree; that'll be my real ticket out of here and into a meaningful life.
Yesterday was the first time since 2002.11.07 that I attended a Spectrum meeting while not being the one in charge. The new President and Vice President are going to do a great job with the group, I'm sure of that, but redefining my own role in the organization is proving difficult. It used to be that as President of the group, everyone had to interact with me in some form or another, so socializing wasn't a problem; now that I'm off on the sidelines, I'm going to have to make the move in terms of talking with people and stuff, and that's something I've always been horrible at.
