I am ridiculously giddy right now. I just spoke with the University of Minnesota admissions department to check on the status of my application with them. I have been on a waiting list for their Spring semester for a couple months now and learned this morning that I have been lifted from the wait list and am an official Gopher! It's a bit surreal to be sure, but I couldn't be more excited. I know I've mentioned this before but if someone would be willing to pay me to go to school, I would become a 'professional student' in a heartbeat! I used to volunteer to write papers for friends (free of charge) after I graduated college. I only had a few takers, but I loved it. I missed school so much once I graduated, but couldn't afford to continue on with a graduate program. In hindsight, I suppose that was for a good reason...perhaps I DID know then what I know now...that my chosen field of study at the time was not really where I wanted to be in the long haul. Funny that I didn't figure it out at the time, loved writing papers and editing things for friends...and here I am, well over 10 years later, going for a 2nd undergrad in Journalism. Tickle me pink!

Congratulations! Can I take you out for a celebratory drink in February? :)
Well, since we'll have lots to celebrate, including the END of your pregnancy (not to mention your newborn son)...I think I'll have to take you up on that!
