I tried to catch up with my friends on Twitter today. All I have to say is:

If the internet is like a library with all the books strewn about, then Twitter is like doing whip-its with all your friends at once… in a giant blender set to “Purée”. Ouchy.

I may be going as a participant instead of instructor this time.

A friend asked “Howareya?” My response:

Grad school (Samuel Merritt OT Master’s program) application was crazy.

3 classes:
* Stats is harder than I remember
* My Abnormal Psych Professor has some weird issue with me
* Interpersonal Communications is actually kinda fun

volunteering at Occupational Therapy clinic in Sausalito… the ferry ride is great, the profession is very interesting and worthwhile

Had trouble with Unemployment AGAIN… they faulted me for trying to save them money so I had to see a judge… the judge said, “WTF is EDD trying to do here? You’re good.”

Girlfriend situation is going very well.

Now…
gotta study for the GRE for my next grad school application (San Jose State OT Master’s program). San Jose State costs $20k, Samuel Merritt costs $80k. San Jose is my first choice school ;-)

I wrote about Boomerang for Gmail in May. This tool continues to rock and be useful every single day. Gmail introduced a new Compose screen and I panicked, worrying this Gmail add-on would be left in the dust. But read from their post…

As soon as we saw the announcement, our engineers strapped on their capes, grabbed their wizard hats, and set to work. Less than 48 hours after the Gmail team announced the new experience, the new Compose view and Boomerang were working together in harmony.

Get Boomerang for Gmail here.  (that is a referral link, if you use it, we both get some tiny free prizes like  these.

With huge help from Megan, and her great friend Rachel, I submitted my application to the Samuel Merritt University Master of Occupational Therapy Program tonight!
