Ecstatic

I cannot stop squealing. I finally stopped scrolling down my phone book calling every person I know. I was just accepted to a graduate program here in Austin. It is an unbelievable relief! 

The application called for a personal essay that was the hardest thing I have ever written. The entire time I was writing it, I was doubting myself and the progress I have made as an individual. The other applications were easy. But this essay that was such a large piece of me made me very nervous. It was putting myself out there for rejection in a very big way. 

All is well with the world now. My coffee tables are done, the rose bushes are trimmed, and I am off to talk J into taking me out for lunch to celebrate before we start painting!
