getting there.....

[mae22]

Wow.. ok so I know it's been a while but I've been really busy and stressed. I've been back and forth literally on almost a daily basis about whether or not I would be able to attend grad school this Fall. While staying had it's perks, I have trouble sitting around waiting for things to happen. After I had decided to stay I got a big list of people who needed roommates and I found several possibilities. If all goes well I will be moving up to Chesapeake, VA in about 2 weeks to share an apartment with some nice Regent student that I've never met. But it's going to be great. I'm really excited about it and really excited that it will work out. I know there are some friends and definitely parents who aren't too crazy about me moving 10 hours away, but the school is phenomenal and the whole thing, while a little scary, feels like the right thing. I'm excited about being in the school of government and preparing for that life-changing job... so everyone keep me in their prayers as I venture out to the less friendly, more northern area and pursue my dreams....

By the way.. I'm thinking about not eating sweets for a while due to the wretched event of receiving a filling today at the dentist. I really hate dental work and I think that I could seriously cut back on the amount of sugar I put on my teeth ( not that I'm a pig now...) if I could decrease the chance of more fillings.

Oh yeah.. and don't take east TN for granted. It really is a great place and a good place to live.
