Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

I was conservative and didn't buy this yesterday, prior to starting His Majesty's Dragon.    They sold out at my local B&N!   So mad at self. 

I may blow through the first two books, read Uprooted, and Binti: Home, and then continue with this series.    That being said, I have all the other books - except League of Dragons which I ordered in hardcover.  

And on a happier, but unrelated, note: 

I'm too freaked out to get real tattoos: I know I may regret them later.   I know loads of people don't, but I tend to make impulsive decisions.   Even with this, I sometimes like Autobots, sometimes Decepticons, and I might not want to stick with one insignia.   I do, however, love showing my fandom.   So, yes, I buy lots of temporary tattoos - and use them.   

Sighs.   I need to finish the essay, which will keep me distracted while I wait for book three in the Temeraire series.   I also am obsessing over the fact that the third recommendation has been sent, but not acknowledged yet, and the fact that my mom is convinced I'll get in.   How much more disappointed will she be if I don't then?   (She won't, really.   She's said time and time again that I'll just try again and she's fine with that.)

Blargh.  I was okay the past couple days and now the anxiety is creeping back in.   So, to finish the essay and make sure the resume is up to snuff, and then I'll call tomorrow and make sure Simmons has everything (the third recommendation, the GRE scores, and the transcripts.)   If they have, I'll upload the two documents - essay and resume - and then apply.   

I'm just like blech right now.   And yes, the whole school thing is gonna be on my mind until I know if I got in or not...  I'd expect that to be a recurring theme even if it's not there all the time.   Sorry for going over this again and again, but it's weighing heavy on my mind right now.
