wowee

Friday afternoon after walking home and listening to the birds chirp, I opened my mailbox to find absolutely nothing.

I walk up the stairs and hang my head in shame as there was no letter from U of M.

I check my gmail and fell of my chair crying...because i was accepted!

I am going to be in Ann Arbor from June 2009 to June 2010 obtaining a masters in education and getting my teaching certification in elementary language arts and fine arts.

I couldn't be happier and honestly barely thought i had an iota of making it in to the elitist big ten "University of Michigan"

Its boosted my confidence immensely and I cannot wait to begin. I've been looking for places to live all weekend.

Now i can throw away all my stupid back up plans and go for what i really wanted.

In other news...

Going to FL again in a week-- Mike is coming so it will be fun and tolerable.

Had a really good weekend filled with weird movies like one hour photo, earth vs the flying sauces which quickly turned into Contact and then Kinsey. We stay up farr too late.

Went out both Fri and Sat night, and both times was bought celebratory drinks, I never payed a dime this weekend for anything alcohol-related.

Things are coming together...and it feels so so good. I'm glad I made the right choice coming back here. I will miss my apartment though.

Randomly below I am going to post my recipe for tortellini soup...the way i like to make it.

Vegetable or Chicken broth (in my case i use veg, mike is a vegetarian)
salt/pepper to taste
garlic to taste
red pepper fakes, just a couple shakes
2 chopped tomatoes
chopped up spinach
tortellinis

when you boil the tortellini's add the tomatoes and spinach about 3 minutes before the pasta is done

and thats it! and its amazing

my mom used to make it when i was a kid and i always loved it
especially when I'm feeling sick (which i am)

Mike is currently in his studio making a really neat photo piece. He learned how to crochet for it and I can't wait to see it.
