last night's email

1) i did okay on the GRE. not as well as i'd hoped but my score is competitive, about the same score most applicants will have. but i wanted it to be Better, much Better. stupid standardized stupid tests.

2) patrick is not dead. he called today to tell me that he was calling me from a mountain he'd hiked to and he wished he'd brought a beer. he told me about how after his yom kippur service thursday, they talked about how when you set out to fix or help someone, you're assuming they are broken.
you consider yourself a failure if you don't accomplish your specific goal. if you set out to serve, you assume you're serving a whole person who doesn't need to be fixed, just needs service, attention, love. thus the service itself is its own reward.
he's a pretty neat kid.

3) after i wrote you email, i fell asleep with the tv on and woke up almost every hour until the alarm went off due to either a nightmare or a panic that i'd overslept.

4) i'm going to see built to spill tonight!
