5 Days Later...

Here's the long and short of the last five days.

1. My degree audit has all of its many flaws settled out and fixed. As far as I know, I'm graduating in the spring.

2. I am not going overseas anymore. Having come to the stark and sad realization that I couldn't afford to go that far away, I had to tone my 'running away from home' plan down a little.

So, as of right now, I'm considering these five places for my Master's:
University of Washington-Seattle
University of Denver
University of Hawaii-Manoa
University of British Columbia (Vancouver)
Dalhousie University (Halifax, Nova Scotia)

Denver's really my first choice at the moment, but the deadline for that one is December 1st, while the others are either February or April. Probably Vancouver next. Then Seattle. Then Hawaii. Then Dalhousie.

I'm typing up a chart to compare them all because I can't make up my stupid mind. Again.

It appears that A) I want to go west, mostly B) I like being on the coast C) I'm getting away as far as my limited monetary funds will let me go.

So, I'm still going to be on this continent, but I'm going to be somewhere at the other end of it, unless I go to Halifax (technically I'm the middle but Halifax seems closer)

With my brilliant powers of calculation (cue snorting) Denver is closest, followed by Halifax, Seattle, Vancouver, and then Hawaii, which is almost as far away as I was the last time but just in the other direction.

So. New flight path, so to speak. Bit more domestic, but unlike certain two-hearted aliens I know, I can live with domestic as long as they don't overcharge me on my luggage.

On other fronts, I have not seen Heroes yet because I was busy on Monday night and I've been fairly busy since then, too. I'm planning on watching it after this stupid math class gets out.

You don't need to hear again how I detest math. It's old news. If my hatred of the stuff could grow anymore, it would. He's going on about barbers, alopecia, languages and violets. I never thought I'd hear those four things in the same sentence.

Freedom is mine. I must go. Heroes review later tonight!

Ta,
Bec


SPOILER LINE


Angela is nastier than we thought.
There are synthetic heroes. Angela and the Company futzed around with genetics and made Nathan and Tracey what they are now. God wasn't in the details, it appears, and Nate's faith thing is out the window forever...

In other news, Nate slept with Tracey, so now he's slept with two out of three sisters. Only Barbara left to sleep with now.


Linderman doesn't exist.
Matt's dad is making him be there. Turns out Linderman is dead after all. Surprise, surprise...


Daddy Petrelli is still kicking.
Arthur Petrelli was supposed to have died in one of the very first episodes of Heroes, but it appears that he didn't and he's still around and doing stuff. Like controlling Matt's dad and giving him orders. The guy's got some sort of ability; we don't know what it is. Matt's dad has the ability to read thoughts, so I have no idea.


Hiro stabs Ando.
This was completely unexpected. It looks like Ando is dead after Hiro was handed a sword and told to kill him. With barely any hesitation, he did. Ando couldn't defend himself or even fight back. This seems unusually cruel.
I suspect Hiro and Ando had a plan and that Ando isn't actually dead. Hiro wouldn't have been capable of this otherwise (he gave in way too easily and stabbed too quick for this to be anything but deception).


Mo wraps Maya in his loving webs.
Maya discovered that Mohinder has taken the next-door neighbor and stuck him to the wall with a bunch of webs, for whatever reason.
So, next thing you know, Mo's got Maya in the same position. Wrapped up and stuck to the wall.
Nathan's going to go and see him now, so this is going to get interesting...

Knox has Adam in the back of a truck.
Daphne doesn't really know who she's working for but she's going after Matt now. Hiro's in with the Daphne club.
Ando looks dead.
Mohinder's in a state of perpetual change.
Maya's stuck to a wall.
Pete's in a coma.
Sylar's running around with Bennet again.
Matt's still in Africa.
Angela's having dreams about her supposedly dead husband killing both Nate and Pete and also getting Tracey.
Claire is really hating Mr. Bennet right now after he basically forced this guy who could make black holes to kill Sylar, but he couldn't do it and sucked himself away instead.
