the blind man who thinks he sees

Soda tears up the carpet. I don't know what to do. Alex says to de-paw her. Is school the most important thing? I hope I never own anything that I can't let get ruined. Worst assignment ever: compare your family to a popular American TV series family (in french). Why not to popular characters from porns? Or something equally menial. I'm pissed. So I'm comparing my family to the Simpsons. hmmmm. I got into Indiana University with this fellowship. I get to go and visit, too. Notre Dame was beautiful. It had snowed before I got there. And my roomate was the coolest ever. But they are only taking like 3-4 of us, out of the 10. So, hopes are down. I'll hear soon. It is all so arbitrary, it seems. It is a bit disturbing to me that I am letting something so arbitrary decide where I will spend the next 7 years, and probably everything after that too. And comforting, in a way. I'm going to take 2 classes next quarter instead of 4 and read literature. Liz, I read some Vonnegut. It is refreshing, to say the least. Did you ever read Bulgakov, Master and Margarita? It is the best. Please read it, if you haven't.

I don't know when I will be able to come down. There are a couple possibilities. March 10th and 11th. Or March 24th through 26th. Anyway, I don't know. I miss you guys. I am like a prune. A sad prune.
