Decisions have been made! :) Which is very exciting. ha. I really should post more often, but.... here we are.
We'll start with Scott's news. He interviewed and got accepted to all four schools he applied to: Baltimore, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and here at the U. Which is pretty exciting in and of itself. All of them are good schools. Baltimore is actually #8 in the nation, so that pretty exciting. (Can you tell I'm a proud wife? ha. ) As we considered each program, and what it would be like to live in each place, we were 90% sure we were headed to Baltimore. I was getting a job lined up, we were looking at housing, and everything. But, things changed, and we decided staying here is what we should do. :) So, Scott has declined Baltimore, Pitt, and Buffalo, and has accepted his seat here at the U. So, bonus, we won't have to spend lots and lots of money moving across the country! haha. And we really are VERY happy and excited about staying here and starting this whole new chapter of our lives.
And my news... :) One huge plus about staying here is that I have decided to stop working full-time this next year and finish school. I have been working full time and schooling part time, since I have quite a good job, but its time to drop it and finish. And I'm very excited about it! As much as I love my job, its not what I want to do for the rest of my life. ha. So, I have about 59 or so credits left, but they are all major classes since I've finished all of my Gen Eds. So, they will all be interesting and exciting. I will finish my degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences, which is the degree you usually get to go into Communication Disorders graduate program.
Even though we will be staying here, we will probably be looking to change apartments. We'll stay near the University, but want to move into a 2 bedroom. Having a room we could stick a desk and stuff in would sure be useful, as it would actually mean we had a study space. ha. Also, just the extra room would be nice. We are currently looking into the Medical Towers, since it would be suuuppper convenient for Scott to be right across the street from all his classes and the lab that he works in. And it would be closer to my classes, too!
In other news... I have become something of a running junkie. ha. I actually haven't been able to run for the last 3 weeks (apparently I'm supposed to rest my leg if I injure it.. pshaa.. :p), but I'm starting up again next week. I have recently made it my long-term goal to run a Marathon next year. It just one of those things I want to do. I just need to conquer it, you know?.... ha. Maybe not. One of my brothers tells me that I need to see a psychologist. haha. But I really do love it. And its just nice to feel healthy and active all the time, you know? Who would have guessed that I would have ever liked running... not me. But its just a little more convenient that swimming. :)
I think that's pretty much the extent of the new development in our lives... We are pretty excited about it all. Starting Pharmacy School, actually getting to finish school, switching apartments. Exciting stuff. I'd say that I'll write again soon to keep you posted, but we all know that's not going to happen. So I'll probably write again in a few months.
p.s.... isn't this spring weather super fantastic? I think so. :)
p.s.s. sorry for the lack of pictures. I'd post some nice recent pictures of us, but we suck at remembering to take pictures... ever. ha. someday I'll post a something new and exciting.
