9: Electricity
Yesterday, the power went out for 4 hours and then some more.
Scrolling: ...
I didn't know what to do. I couldn't access the internet because the cable modem needs electricity to work. I could've used my cellphone to check my mail but since I am not eagerly awaiting any admission decisions, I didn't. I couldn't watch tv. I could've cooked using a flashlight but it would've been a hassle.
So I just slouched on my couch. I started thinking. I tried to dig up memories from my youth. I was trying to come up with an answer to the UCLA question: "Please provide us with a summary of your personal and family background. Include information about your parents and siblings, where you grew up, and perhaps a highlight or special memory from your youth. (Limit to two pages, double spaced)".
Whenever I try to fool myself into thinking that lying down on the couch and trying to think of answers is a highly constructive utilization of my time, sleep shows up and brings me back to reality.
I slept for 3.5 hours. I was interrupted by numerous phone calls, but everytime I hung up and tried to think about UCLA's question, sleep popped up. When I finally defeated sleep, sat up, grabbed my laptop and typed the lone idea that I dreamed of while sleeping, the electricity came back.
Now I had to do all the stuff I had postponed due to lack of electricity. So I threw my laptop away and turned on the TV. Nothing. My cable box probably blew up when the electricity decided to take a walk. Hmmm. I freak out when things stop working. Tried to catch the waves using the TV's built in antenna. Nothing. Then I bypassed the cable box and stuck the cable directly into the TV. Got it! But I couldn't use the interactive TV guide. So I started from Channel 1. Finally converged upon something interesting to watch. Pop. Zhuck. Crackle. The electricity went out again.
I didn't try and fool myself anymore. Flopped into bed. Fell half asleep. The electricity came back. Fell fully asleep.
Woke up. There was ice outside.
I am stinkingly dependent on electricity for some reason. In 2006, I will try and live without electricity for a week.

This corroborates my long-held belief that the Amish would make great b-school applicants. Have a heart, you're not alone.
I remember the days of writing essays by hand. I actually have much better brainstorming sessions on paper. Must be all that computer radiation killing my brain cells slowly...
I suck at prioratizing, actually. I am also pretty clueless as to what I should be doing right now. The CBS website has this hidden section you get to see once you are in and it has a To-Do section. So far the only hting on my list is to pay the $5K.
And yes...I will totally miss my mom and all the free lunches :(
