Bad News

Posted by Soledad at 3/21/2008 02:40:00 PM

So I have some bad news about Grad School. I have been waitlisted for program X. A friend heard back positively from School Y and I have not. AND on the forums people were accepted to grad school Z and I have heard nothing. So it looks like I suck and I am not going to get to go to grad school next year. I am very sad. Trying to make back up plans, but mostly crying. Also I am on the island so Greg's family is around. I had this really crappy experience at the local greasy spoon this AM. I ordered an egg white veggie omelet and got my omelet and there was CHEESE in it. Now I HATE melted cheese, like BIG TIME and HELLO it was a veggie omelet WTF is with the cheese. No one said there was cheese and the menu did not indicate that.
So I said "OMG there is cheese in this omelet" and this is what happened next. Greg's Dad: "well yeah"
Me: "it is a VEGGIE omelet"
Greg's Step Mom: You just forgot to tell her not to put cheese in it
Me: Who puts cheese in a veggie egg white omelet?
Greg's SM: we can take care of it..
Me: no no it is ok I was just surprised
Greg's SM: No, we will get another one. I will eat yours
Me: NO, SERIOUSLY it is ok
Greg's little Brother: Soledad you brought this on yourself.
Greg's Dad: Calls the waitress over, orders me a new omelet.
Waitress: What can I do for you?
Restaurant owner comes over (she is friend of family's): Hey [Greg's dad] what fuss are you causing
Greg's SM: Tells her what happened
Me: HUMILIATED look down at my plate, trying NOT TO CRY
Greg's SM: Give me your OMELET and get that pouty look off your face.
Me: SOMEHOW managed not to cry and after a reasonable break went to the bathroom to do so (BRIEFLY) Then I tried to bake a cake later and it was lopsided and took a long time to cook and Greg's parents were all over what I was doing wrong. And then I tried to ice it.....FUCK! Seriously, the last couple of days have SUCKED ass.

    sole, I have been thinking about you. Is there still a chance at all with school Z? Can/would you reapply for the following year, or would that just not be worth it at all?

    I understand 100% about the omlet situation. Things like that happen just about every time I sit down to eat with my fiance's family. It makes me want to crawl under the table and die.

    so many hugs for you right now.

    sole, I am so sorry about the bad news and the bad day. I am keeping my fingers crossed for school Z.

    I think you're an amazing woman, I really really do.

    oh oh oh oh oh sole, sweet and kickass sole, I'm so sorry. the omelet situation sounds horrible, and I get like that too when I just want to burst out in tears and nobody seems to understand and it's so awfully hard.

    and then, grad school, well, fuck, sole, they don't know what they're missing, seriously.

    I believe in you.

    love,
    lulu
