Got up today, ate lunch (leftovers), lazed with the cats. Got coffee and went to see The King's Speech with a friend, then went to Shahenshah for Indian food. My friend ordered an appetizer that consisted of feta cheese and kalamata olives. He was thinking that it would be a few pieces of cheese and some olives, but it was a whole bowl of cheese. Like, a cereal bowl filled with feta, with about 15 olives on the top, and a pita to eat them with. It was beautiful and sad. I picked out a couple of the olives while my friend tried to convince me that the cheese doesn't count as dairy, since it's made from goat's milk.
For dinner I ordered dal makhni--lentils sauteed with onion, garlic, tomatoes and ginger. We didn't order naan, which is my favorite part of Shahenshah. My friend already had the bread with the cheese bowl, and I didn't want to be tempted to eat the buttery naan, so we skipped it. I have lots of leftover lentils and rice for lunch tomorrow!
Came home and filled out my application for grad school; also ordered my Bachelor's and Master's transcripts to be sent to the admissions department, and contacted my references to let them know that they're going to get recommendation forms. I started to book a time to take the GRE, but at the last second I remembered that I should find out when I'm going to go audition first. I wouldn't want to have to pay the $50 rescheduling fee for the test, if it turns out that February 7th is the only day that I can make the trip to VA for the audition. I paid $5 for one of my transcripts! Maybe it's not the $55 application fee or the $160 GRE fee, but the money leak has started, and I can't go back. It's all happening this time around.
