I'm not dead, nor is this blog. (of course I am not sure if anyone will be reading it anymore.) This spring quarter was horrible! I had 10 essays for each final and midterm. I was given a week and a half to write all ten. It was brutal. I had around 200 pages to read a week as well. And that was just one of the two classes! I have never been so tired in my life. But it was truly amazing. Each time I was faced with a challenge, the strenght to get through it was somehow there.

But it all has paid off. A week ago I was accepted to the teaching program at Western Washington Universtiy. I was the first choice out of 80 applicants to be admitted the cohort of 24 students. When the dean called I worked really hard on gving her coherent adult responses, but as soon as she hung up I danced and jumped and screamed all over the park where I was playing with my nieces and nephews.

This week at some point I should be getting a new nephew, although I still hold a small bit of hope that someone somewhere was wrong and he will be a girl. sigh.

I plan to have Katie and her family here for the next week. I'm so excited about the idea of them possibly moving here.

Oh and I kinda sorta slightly kinda started dating someone. EEP!
