Back from a trip to Budapest/Vienna with David and it was honestly an experience I would rather not ever have in my life again. From the start, it was a mess. David didn't renew his passport and he was unable to fly, but I didn't want to waste money so there I was, having him try to convince me to go on a road-trip. I had spent money on this trip and I was going to go because his passport was not my fault anyway.

When I came back, I found out that my parents offered to pay for his flight ticket over because they didn't want me to be alone in Europe. I honestly would have preferred to be alone. I was not expecting how infuriating he would be to travel with-- the plans that he made often required more things that he was able to do, and he didn't screenshot or get anything properly in order to go to places. He kept forgetting things and I had to continuously take over for him. Mother told me to treat him like a child, but I had never signed up to go on a trip with a child-- I was expecting an almost thirty-year-old to have more shit together.

For the first two/three days, I was on my own, but I did enjoy it quiet a bit. I was able to go to the cat cafes in Budapest and Vienna. I made a few (?) friends, but after David arrived, I just steadily grew angrier and more upset.

If he hadn't come, I would've tried to go to Berlin from Vienna, instead of back to Budapest. I expected to enjoy Vienna more than Budapest, but I'm wondering if I like smaller places when I travel because I am able to recognize things.

Aside from that disastrous vacation I took (and that I hadn't really even wanted to go on in the first place, but wanted David to enjoy some time off), I am technically done with graduate school and will have a Master's Degree in Social and Cultural Analysis. Just... what am I going to do with that?

I'm thinking that perhaps I can be an intern for the United Nations, but I really hope to get a good deal with teaching abroad in Korea and use that time for a bit. I want to travel, want to relax, want to hang out with Yuna. I'm actually not looking that forward to spending much time with the others because I've just been growing steadily more annoyed with them as well.

I got into the bullet journal phase, and bought a lot of pens, stickers, notebooks, and random stationary that I think are pretty. I want to use them at last, and also start writing again. I wrote a few poems in my Nuuna notebook, but I still think I'm much stronger at fiction than poetry. I want to get my life in order a little.

I'm going to be leaving the dental assistant job, which means no source of actual income. I'm slightly freaking out over the future as always, and have been thinking of going to law school, or applying somewhere for a PhD.

The NYU graduate program did not require me to take the GREs, or anything really to go to grad school. I'm going to have to see if I can head into programs that don't require any of those post-undergraduate testing things. I did 23 questions of a part of a practice LSAT and I got 4 wrong. That's... not really good news. It's mostly just logic puzzles. I don't really understand what's going on, ha. I'm going to look through some economics stuff and get a better grasp (maybe?) on actual stuff that I'm going to need to figure out.

I found the three/four folders of college acceptances I received: BU, Bryn Mawr, NYU, and Macaulay Honors. I don't think I'll ever stop being bitter over Johns Hopkins.
