you don't know a thing about me! i wish i could be a pirate..instead i have to settle for super hero.

so today was not my best day ever.

when i got to school, i stopped in and my principal was kind enough to let me know that i did not make it into the masters program i was hoping to get into. i am thankful that she was very up front with me. now i can move on and make plans for the next three years that will not include said program. i am not real keen on going into 'any ol' masters program.' i still think this is one of the top programs available in our area, even if they weren't astute enough to recognize that i would have been a solid candidate, and whatever they perceived as lacking, i would easily be able to overcome and conquer!

so, that said, it was a rough morning. i definitely had tears this morning, in part because i really wanted to do this thing, and in part because it hurt-- i don't deal with rejection well. i think i went through the phases of grief today...apart from denial. then i got a little angry, and the song playing in my head was : you don't know a THING about me... and by the end of the day i was into a different mindset-forget about it, i'm going to wicked on friday, and i don't have time for this, so...

defying gravity...

so anyhoo...i will be working summer school, and preparing for next year. i will probably spend more time up in missouri this year than last year. regardless, whatever the next phase is, i'm going at it 110%!! i'm fired up-i just need something more to be fired up about..i finished grading my end of year DRA, and when i left school, i wanted to just drive and play pink's SO WHAT! that's kinda' how i feel right now.

chaco said he wanted me to become a pirate.

i think he just likes to say aaarrggh!

anyhoo, i am slightly sad to say i will not be joining pirate school, i just don't think it would a wise investment.

ok, life. bring it on!
