I apparently forgot to give Mother Nature my forwarding address. Those nasty storms in Central Florida early Friday morning? Right where I used to be.

*sporfle* Well, with the way she seems to not like me, I'm not tellin' her. ;)

We're good. Didn't even lose power. The Mallory Hills Country Club is in rough shape, though.

Thanks for asking, though. I momentarily had forgotten that you moved, and when we turned the news on I went to grab my phone and call to make sure YOU were ok.

What? It was early! I'm barely cogent early in the morning.

I'm rather glad I was far away as well (and that I didn't get hauled into the newsroom at 3:30 in the morning like some of the staffers did!).

Yay for jobs and money! Good luck with upcoming classes and I hope that all of yours in Florida are okay.

so when will you know about school?

I heard back from one already -- I'm invited to interview on March 1. Approximately 50 prospective students have been chosen to interview for 30 open slots (which isn't a bad ratio...). I think I should hear from the other one fairly soon as well.
