Back in CO, still alive. More good news - The New School

After a week of fun in Portland, one night in Seattle visiting friends, and a lot of delicious food and beer, I flew back to Colorado today. Ben and I had a good time, he was successful in passing his tests for the Portland PD and I was able to visit Seattle for the first time. It was rainy and overcast in Seattle and most of the time in Portland but it was still a great trip. I need to spend the next few days recovering/hitting the gym and getting reading and work done for school. St. Patrick's Day is on a few days, hoping I will survive.

I was surprised and excited today to receive another graduate school acceptance letter. I was accepted into the Masters of Arts Program at The New School in NYC to study International Affairs. It seems like a really interesting place to study and a great program. The possibility of going there is very exciting. I'm still waiting to hear back from NYU and Hanna is still waiting to hear back from NYU and Columbia, before we make our decisions.
