"SO SO GRATEFUL"

You know that moment where you look back on a tough section of your life and you think "that wasn't so bad"? Obviously the whole recommenders have bailed thing thwt just happened isnt the worst thing to have to me but now that it is over with I couldn't be more grateful. I honestly haven't had this good of a day in a while and it is all because Dr. Sullivan, Dr. Licht, and my lab supervisor have all come through with letters of recommendation for me. The amount of times I used the words 'grateful' and 'thank you' today in my various emails just baffles me. I do however mean each and every one. I could not be more grateful to these three individuals and I don't think I will ever be able to express it in the right way.

Today also saw me decide to keep my spring admission plan. If I was able to get all of this done in a week so I am going to interpret this as a sign that I am meant to attend a graduate program in spring. Now to just prepare my bank account and my self for another culture shock. 

Happy Working Song

I underestimated the difficulty level of making so many bows in one night. It just couldn't be done without help. My friend Brandi dropped by today and we crafted for four hours to finish all of the bows. Four hours. Eighty something bows. My shoulders and hands haven't hurt this bad since I decided to take twin littles and make all of their presents in two days. 

Having Brandi here made the project much more entertaining and the workload was a lot smaller rather than having one person making so many bows. She also volunteered to help me clean my kitchen which is why she is an angel. She shouldn't have needed to help clean my kitchen but let's just say it looks as though there are only two people who were going to clean it anyways.  Yea. That could be a bad assumption. Who knows but its just the feeling I get. Anyway, we cleaned the kitchen after we got back form the grocery store and then we crafted bows and jammed out bad (read really awesome ) 90's music. I think that was a pretty great way to spend my Saturday if I do say so myself.
