For anyone who's interested, all the anonymous comments have been answered in the previous entry.

Don't have anything else to add. Had work. Work sucked. Had dentist appointment. Self-explanatory. Thought about my life sucking a lot. Hasn't changed. Want to eat, can't, tongue and one half of mouth are numb.

Going to go attempt to email old profs to ask for recommendations. Yeeeeach, don't want to, but really really have to. Wish me luck. I'm going to need it. *dives in*

I always hate when you come back from the dentist with your mouth all numb and yet you're really freaking hungry.

FYI on letters of recommendation: if you have a professor who really likes you and your work, and you can a.) see yourself asking for another letter of recommendation down the line for something else, b.) this professor is very distinguished and senior (by that, I mean on the other side of 75 or 80), or c.) both a & b, you may want to ask if you can arrange for a permanent LoR to be put on file. This can save them the problem of writing multiple LoR and save you the problem of asking for one.

You should know that under conditions of adequate intoxication, I will spill most secrets, so no need for an anonymous posting. Although certain secrets are unextractable, even if you locked me in a room with vodka, Ms. Paquin, and a tub of jello.....

Don't worry, they love doing it. Really. I know that doesn't take away from the nervousness of asking - I just had to ask two profs for references, and I could only give them two days notice. Talk about ultimatums! So just think, nothing that you could do could be any worse than that (well, unless of course you're going to add that you really would appreciate it by tomorrow... ;-)).

*sends sympathetic not-able-to-eat vibes* *pets* Hate that feeling. Don't bite your tongue (which I manage to do even when not under the influence of mouth-numbing anaesthetics o_O).
