My fiance and I went to one of his best friend's 4th of July party.
We actually met on the internet on the 4th of July and therefore call it our Anniversary.
This was the worst anniversary ever.
On top of starting the day off with female problems, *ahem*, and practically starving before we got to his party - I was abandoned while at the party and ended up talking for hours with 2 people I just met that day.
One of his good for nothing friends that is a girl, the female half of the couple getting married in the same year we are, told me that they want to go to Notre Dame for graduate school. She talks about getting into graduate school as though it's nothing special.
I feel like all the prep work I'm doing for trying to get in is for nothing if that couple decides very suddenly to go to graduate school, applies and gets in.
The male half of that couple is also studying mathematics and although he does have a particular apptitude for it, supposedly his grades don't reflect that.
Mine aren't perfect either, but I've been working hard at doing research in math and into the programs I'm interested in.
I'm just frusterated overall.
I feel like I'm losing my fiance to his friends, to Magic: The Gathering and to everything else.
I'm even losing myself nowadays.
What to do.

V., don't despair if they get in. Despair if they finish. graduate schools in science regularly graduate only 20 - 25% of their enrolees. They take a lot of people just to fill entry-level TA positions, then wash them out.
Keep up your hard work, though. Profs looks at things like grades and GRE scores when considering you as an advisee. If you want to join a good group and work for a good prof, you need the credentials.
The male part of that group is in mathematics, like myself, but doesn't care about grades.
The female half of that group is pursuing a double major in Art and International Business.
I really don't think she knows exactly what she wants or what she's getting into if she goes to graduate school.
I wouldn't care so much about this if it wasn't for other seemingly odd and misplaced comments she's made that make me jump on edge and are making me not like her anymore.
More will be posted soon.

Ah, I forgot to mention in the post that we got a flat tire that evening also. That ate up the last 20 or so minutes before midnight passed.
Happy f**king anniversary to us.
