I am delighted to announce that I have been accepted into the Museum Education Program at George Washington University!!!!!!! I am so excited about this opportunity. AND I get to move to Washington DC!!!!
I LOVE Washington DC and the mere thought that I get to spend the next fourteen months there makes me smile and jump around.
Of course I have a lot to do...but it will be worth it.
Ah...
My life is about to get crazy, but in a good way. I am looking forward to everything that I am going to experience. Learning new things, being in a new city, experiencing different cultures and people...It is going to be a blast!

If Patience is a Virtue...
Have you ever noticed there are different kinds of waiting? There is the kind that you experience around the holidays, the blissful excitement and sheer anticipation of an upcoming event.
There is the kind known as "senioritis", which generally occurs during the last year or two of education. You are just ready to be done and the thought of being forced to plod around the school for one more day makes you want to scream and cry. But you endure it and when you graduate, it is all worth it.
There is the kind that you experience while at work...constantly glancing at the clock, convinced that it is moving slower than it really is. When it's finally time to go home, you feel like dancing down the stairs, into the parking lot and zooming out so fast it leaves tire marks.
And then there is the kind of waiting when you are standing at a crossroads. Which is where I am. I am still waiting to hear back from my grad school...the waiting is KILLING me. Everyday, I eagerly log onto the website, certain that today I will get an answer...to no avail...
It is a very exclusive program (only 18-25 participants) and hundreds apply...but I just want to know. For better or for worst...I just want to know what I am going to do this summer...with my life...with the future.
Waiting stinks.
That is my personal and slightly professional opinion.
So I wait.

When In Rome...
So as you can tell, I've been extremely diligent in blogging these past few months.
Yeah...right.
So let's do a brief rundown...shall we?
2014 began...and now its February. I swear, time speeds up when you're older. I am positive that the whole "24 hours in a day" thing is a complete lie. Rather, I've come up with the theory that small gnomes, that live in the closets of houses, come out after we go to sleep and move the clocks ahead.
You may be wondering how the whole sun-rising/sun-setting works into this theory...and my response is I don't know...but I am 99.9% sure that the sun is in on it.
But aside from my completely logical theories, life continues on. I continue to work as an SPED aide, and only my dignity and respect for privacy prevent me from writing about the crazy things that happen...you'll just have to wait for my autobiography to be released. Let's just say, that the kids are good, and parents are...special.
I have been working a second job at night at the local recreational center, cleaning locker rooms. Yes, I am putting my bachelor's degree to good use. I have also, tragically, become use to getting about an average of 5 1/2 hours of sleep a night...I feel like the walking dead...or a raccoon. I am so used to it that the dark circles under my eyes no longer cause me concern. I dream of the day when I can get SEVEN hours of sleep...I nearly weep at the mere thought. No wait, that was just me yawning...again.
I am patiently waiting for the school year to end so that I can strike out and do something else. I feel that it is time for a change...which is why I am
APPLYING TO GRAD SCHOOL!!!!!!
I am finishing my application for grad school and hopefully will know at the end of the month what I will be doing this summer. So, that is my quick update...I shall try to be more diligent in "blogging"...which is really a weird term when you think about it.
