hannah

She left exactly a week ago for Chicago. And while I will miss our close proximity and the ease it provided, I could not be happier for her. I can no longer understand how a person would not want their friends to scatter to the far corners of the world and be where they want to be.

She will call Chicago home, and I will call on her for stories, new knowledge, and a welcoming couch.

EAW

I had practically forgotten I applied. There has been no nail-biting expense for me. It was the first time - a practice round of sorts. I wasn't going to make it, but no big deal....

Then I received an email at 9:42 p.m. that I keep rereading.

I am worried I have misread. No, it clearly says I have been accepted. I hit the facebook status, followed by twitter.

Maybe I spoke too soon though. What if it is a mistake... an error? I check the Web site. My account is prepared for as if for a recently accepted member...

How did this happen?

I went out on a sailboat for the first time in my life last night. This summer also marks my first official camping trip. Combining the two some day might just complete my life.
