I’ve been away from the computer for awhile, and thus away from you guys for awhile. My excuses aren’t good, I’m not doing anything great or exciting. I almost got caught up on Criminal Minds. The new seasons are meh. It’s true, they don’t write shows like they used to. Or maybe the show lacks a certain Matthew Grey Gubler and it really did tank when he left. It also did better when it was episodic.
Okay, sidebar into narrative commentary; when you make a show like that the formula really matters a lot. Criminal Minds was about unsubs who were twisted minds and diving into those twisted minds over the course of maybe three episodes at most. Doing it over the course of a whole season, or two, or THREE, is stretching it way too far. The new seasons are also too dark, and I don’t mean thematically, I mean color palette wise, they don’t look good. The cast is thin, I mean there aren’t enough people to stay invested.
Which is why I switched back to watching Ghost Whisperer, just for a cast that is easier to stay invested in and is better shot, at least in the early seasons. That’s where I’ve been stuck binge watching for the past week at least. I didn’t realize I preferred a supernatural storyline to a grounded science based (okay, Criminal Minds bends the science sometimes), but I needed a break.
Anyway, that’s been my escapism, since my dog died and while I tried to work on myself.
The news though is not what I expected, because I expected to get into the grad program and I didn’t, I’m on the waitlist. Instead I have been given the opportunity to apply for a new grad program that they haven’t had at this university before, this time for a Masters in Clinical Psychology. Which means I have to rewrite my statement of purpose.
The reason I haven’t done that is that I had to do my taxes which I just did today. I have a little over a week to finish doing that, writing that statement of purpose, and then sometime after April 27th I’ll hear back about that. Which means if I get in and have to do a move it’ll all have to happen exceedingly quickly.
To sum it up; I don’t know where my life is going right now. I’m not suicidal, as my therapist asks every time I visit, the meds are working if that is the cause I’m not sure if it’s the meds working or if it’s that I’m doing what I’m supposed to every day.
