I'm Going to College! (again)

So I opened up my email yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to see that I received a message from the University of Georgia's school of social work. They wrote me saying that I was officially accepted to their PhD program to start in August of '09.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I just need to figure out what I'm doing until then...

The Past Month or So...

So I've been doing a lot of traveling since I moved away from Texas. I definitely have the time to do it so I figure, why not? I also got paid two different times from the state of Texas well after I quit my job so I had some money. One paycheck was for my final travel reimbursement and the other was for all the overtime I worked (for some reason they make you accumulate it and only pay you when you either quit or reach 250+ hours). Here is a quick synopsis of my travels:

I spent Halloween up in Tallahassee with my boys...we dressed up two different nights (it's my favorite holiday). I then went up to Athens, GA to see Gabe and Shirin plus one. After that it was a quick night at Mamaw's and then right back to Tallahassee for another party (I can't stay away from that place). The week after that I rested in Lakeland with Mom and Dad and even got to see my nephew (Cruz) play some college b-ball. When I recuperated I flew out to Texas to see some friends I forgot to say goodbye too and then kept flying until I reached San Francisco where my childhood friend Doug lives and goes to school. I had a good time in Cali and then it was time to fly back to Florida and rest some more at my parent's house. Then it was back, once again, to Tallahassee where someone was having a birthday party (i HAD to go). I only stayed a couple days because it was then time for Thanksgiving and I wanted to show up to Uncle Sam's a little early to hang out with everyone there. After all my family showed up and we did the usual marathon session of games and food I went back to Lakeland and eventually made my way to Orlando. In O-town I hung out with Pogo where we went out to some bars and even met up with some old friends we met on a cruise we took last Spring Break (yeah, I still go on Spring Break).

...and that pretty much brings you up to speed. Pictures will follow as soon as I'm done with my travels.
