a little crazy. a lot wonderful.

I'm trying to squeeze in as much playtime and relaxation as I can before school starts. I know I'll be working my toochus off come the end of June. In addition to playing a lot of ultimate, hanging with all my pals, and a little bit of traveling, I also am almost certainly moving. I'll be sad to lose the LandPeople as my neighbors, landlords, and surrogate parents. But I am thrilled that the Beau and I have decided to take the leap to co-habitation. We are excitedly apartment hunting and looked at a few great ones today.
Yes yes yes I know this seems very fast and thank you for all of your concerns. We've had long discussions about it and have arrived at this with our eyes wide open. Sometimes you just know something is right and true regardless of what the calendar says.

Stepping out of the Waiting Room...

...and into the classroom!!!!!!

Most of you have gotten the news already, and I apologize for not writing this post sooner. One month after getting stuck on the wait-list, Admissions came to their senses and called me up. The conversation went something like this:

"Hello this is the Office of Admissions, is this Stephanie?"
It's nothing, I'm just getting accepted to the nursing portion alone... "Yes, that's me."
"I see you have been placed on the alternate status for the nursing/miwifery program here."
Oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God... "That's right."
"Well it looks like a spot has opened up and we'd like to offer you admission to the program. Are you interested?"
"Yes, I am definitely interested," as calmly as I can while I jump up and down trying not to whoop with joy.
"
Great, we'll send you an enrollment packet tomorrow with further instructions. Congratulations!"
"Thank you." Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With a racing heart, I then called my mom, my dad, my grandparents, my sister... and when I couldn't speak any more, I sent a text message to everyone else.
My Beau took me for celebratory cheeseburgers (score!) which were extra delicious with a side of sweet victory.

In other news, I've had a mini identity shift: I am now a mac. Look what cool things I can do with my mac!
