WYFP - The Agony of Defeat

Do you remember the opening images of the Wide World of Sports in the 1970s?  When that poor bastard comes down that hill and just biffs it completely as the voiceover intones “the agony of defeat.”  That’s  me on the academic slopes right now.

The agony of defeat

Obviously I heard back about my application, and it wasn’t good.  So now I have to decide what I am going to do with myself for the rest of the year until I can apply again in the winter.  I was supposed to meet with the lab professor on Friday to go over what I did wrong, but I begged off due to auto troubles — I was just too fucking embarrassed to show my face in the group.  

I am slowly trying to regroup, and decide what I’m going to do, I need some kind of income coming in, but my SSDI limits what I can do before I make too  much for my insurance, which is a hybrid of Medicare and Medicaid.

I branched out into online dating recently and that’s been interesting, I’m pretty sure that the first match was a catfishing attempt, which is uncool.  I’m not going to correspond further with them at this point. So it’s just not been my week it seems.

So what’s up in your world?
