Back 2 Skewl!

LOL! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy!!!! I got into grad school. I'm so excited to be beginning a new chapter in my life with an expanded vision. I'm looking forward to flexibility, academic stimulation, new friends, fun field assignments. Papers out the wazoo! It's all good. It's all God. I feel like after two really difficult years, the Lord is finally giving me permission to breathe again--to shine like I know I can. Now I have a lot to put into perspective. My life is going to be completely different. I am ready though. I'm curious. I'm mature this time around. I'll be able to get a lot more out of school. Maybe I'll even get my PhD one day. Baby steps, right? I'm stunned. I'm speechless. I still haven't processed everything fully. I feel like a great guy has just asked me to marry him. I promise to make the best of whatever comes. I am so proud and so grateful. I thank God for noticing me, for giving me what I need in my life---an outlet to do something just for me. A space to learn and inquire and grow--the way I want to. This has been missing in my life ever since I came to New York. I'm on my way to becoming more whole, but on the way there, I thank God for answering my prayers.
