..........
it's official!
I will be headed to Atlanta to study sea slugs at Georgia Tech for my PhD starting in August!
WOOOOOOO!!!!
If you're in the Philly area, I'd love to hang out before May 30 (since I'll be at camp this summer).
Regardless of where you are, you should come visit me in Atlanta (just take a really long layover because we all know that you've got a good chance of flying through there no matter where you go in this country) - once I get there of course.
It still seems unreal - I ACTUALLY get to do this! I'm ACTUALLY going to grad school! I'm ACTUALLY going to study my slugs! Wild!
I'm very excited to see all my friends in GA though, and settle down, and make some new friends, be in a new church, and live in a new place where I can live for more than 6 months. Oh, and go square dancing again. And regain my drawl. And wear Phillies, Eagles, and Flyers jerseys with the added bonus of being "that irritating Philly fan" in a mildly antagonistic city. Oh, and I'm glad I'm not moving to Dallas.
I'm excited to see what God's got for these next 5-6 years in Atlanta.

future stuff
Summer plans:
SIT leader at Spruce Lake Wilderness Camp (where I counseled for 3 summers).
Grad school:
Turned down by: William & Mary, Univ. of Calif. Davis
Likely to be turned down by: UNC-Wilmington and Univ. New Hampshire
Waiting to hear from: Georgia Tech & Univ. of Georgia
In a horrid mental/emotional/spiritual mess over:
guidance, life direction, and goals/identity at cross-purposes to where my life is currently headed (which may be nowhere if grad school doesn't work out). feeling like Jonah because I either don't hear or don't listen to directions and/or God keeps changing his mind. And fish guts smell bad. hating that i have to be "strong" and "functional" and "composed" in interactions with, well, everyone, due to societal compulsion to have a facade of wholeness and contentedness no matter what's going on.
