The Hills Of San Francisco

In case you do not know, it is really hill-y here. It's been great for getting me into shape, would be dangerous in an ice storm, and seems to be the direction my life has turned (that being both downhill and uphill, at the same time).

Today I received word on the grant. I did not get it. I'm let down, but looking at some of the winners I can see why I didn't win

(note: some...NOT all).

I guess the security in paying back my grad school loans and getting my foot in the door is going to have to wait.

The uphill portion of my week includes a drink with one of my best college friends tonight. Her timing couldn't be better

(mid-break-up(?) and the night of some bad news).

I wish I was in a better mood, so I could show her a good time. All I really feel like doing is curling up in a ball to sleep the week away...
