Sup amigos?

On Today's Menu: i'm such a slacker.


I haven't blogged since August 10th?!?! Wow...how lazy am I??? What a display of irresponsibility and complete negligence to you, my faithful reader. Thanks for sticking around. I'm fairly certain that if the situation was reversed, I would have abandoned this project many moons ago.


So what's new? As of right now, everything is poking along just as close to normal as can be here in the Bluegrass. I have gotten back into the swing of things at work, I have resumed my obsessive compulsions to watch any and all things tennis, I just started reading another amazing book by one of my favorite authors, and I am continuing my research of various masters programs, schools, etc. So you can probably see by now why I haven't blogged in a while...not much to report on.


However! (yay for However!) Recent events have changed that! While I was in Spain this summer I learned of an American university (based in Saint Louis, Missouri) that has a second campus in Madrid and they happen to offer the degree I'm looking for (that being Spanish Language and Culture). How crazy is that? They take sixty students per year and the entire program is taught at the campus in Spain. Who knew? Anyway, I submitted an application...last week I received a letter of confirmation of my acceptance into the program beginning in the January term...WILD. It's really exciting, no? But it's also a little nerve racking...I mean, now I have a thousand things to think about: tuition? student visa? scholarship?...a tad overwhelming.


Anyway...I think I'm going to make a go of it...one step at a time. So stay tuned. There's more to come!
