55 days . . . .until I'm out of here! yay!
                      I will be free of single-sex education for the first time in 8 years! woot
                      I can actually have the time to pleasure read again! 
                      I can go home and cuddle with zorro
                      I leave my lovely smithies 
                    (I'm trying not to dwell on that part cause I know I will dash across the country to see my favorites . . .maybe I'll bring back more   
                     kittens!)

A little under 3 months until I go to the UK!

Senioritus is driving me crazy, but oh well.

I'm 99.9% sure I will be at the University of Durham next year. I'm very excited about it! I got in everywhere, but Oxford. Skarda made me feel like a failure yesterday for not getting into Oxford, but I'm not going to let her get me down. I'm happy. It's a great school. Durham looks like a mix between Edinburgh and Oxford. And Bill Bryson, the comic travel writer is Chancellor.

My college at Durham, St. Chad's has this hilarious day called St. Chad's day (how original): "St Chad's Day begins before sunrise with a noisy wake-up call, designed not just to wake up students, but neighbours as well. A pre-breakfast Pimm's Reception leads on to college invasions and then to a green breakfast. Students wear green clothes and body paint to their lectures and seminars, gathering at noon for a run around Palace Green, accompanied by the college's goat. The day ends with a Feast or a dance." (wikipedia)

I'm really excited about the Oxford program this summer. My boss has been wonderful. She left a box of cookies and chocolate on my desk with a card saying how proud of me she is for getting into grad school. :-) 
It's nice to know that nearly everyone is supportive.
