somebody pinch me.

I keep having to replay the phone call in my mind so I don't think I imagined everything. That's my biggest fear right now. Having gone and thanked everyone who helped me and supported me throughout the application process and then having to say, "oops! I was wrong. They called me to reject me." But no one calls an applicant to say you've been rejected? I mean, if all professional schools did that they would have to make a ton of phone calls. Okay, I'm not crazy. I was accepted. Life is good.

on a side note, tonight i'm going to attempt to make a pumpkin cheesecake from scratch and double chocolate mint cookies. Now, the problem is I don't have a roasting pan to do the water bath and chocolate cookies are extremely delicate because you don't want to overbake them. wish me luck!

Good-bye Wisconsin, Hello Illinois!

I'm so happy right now that someone has to pinch me. I'm still in shock. I can't believe I got in. I can't believe that all the freak-outs, studying, volunteering, and work has paid off. I'm not a failure. I'm not a total screw-up. I'm going to BE something now. Craziness. Most importantly though...

I'm going to be back in CHICAGO!!

I can't wait to get to hang out more with my favorite person and be around when he starts school, maybe gets another sibling and learns to go to the bathroom himself! So exciting.

This is the best birthday gift EVER. There are just so many people to thank and one very special person. I hope she knows how grateful I am....

blog later...after the celebration.
me.
