Last Installment of the Trip

Here are my London Photos. I love this one below because it has all the coolest elements ... the old steeple, the facade with columns being preserved, the red crane, the classic monument with man on his trusty stead - and of course the apple ipod/itunes graphic advertisement. Juxtaposition of old and new at its finest. Take a look at my other photos of London by clicking the picture.

Paris Pictures

Finally I have my Paris photos arranged in order ... so even if you already looked at them, check them out now that they are in order and I made little notes on lots of them. Enjoy!

My Final Announcement ... Well Until I Actually Decide

Last, but not least, I received an email yesterday from the program director at Boston University. And I am in there too! I feel very blessed to have such great options.

You see, when I applied for my undergrad ... my acceptance rate was not so great. I was blessed to be accepted by a great university but it was - honestly - heaven sent. I received numerous rejection letters. That is why I am so ecstatic about these applications. I know that through hard work, persistence, finding my interests, embracing my own learning styles and with the grace from above I have been given these options to pursue a Master's Degree.

I am so blessed. I needed this validation of myself right now ... I know it sounds ridiculous but its true. And I know that my heavenly father knows me that well and hears my prayers. I needed to be accepted ... I need to move on and move forward and progress. This is the only way I know how to do that right now.

So ... decisions are to be made. Oregon, Maryland, Boston. To be continued ....

Roman Holiday

Check out the first batch of my photos from Rome ... I am working backwards I guess (since we went London, Paris, Rome) but that's just the way it happened.

The Universe Speaks To Me ... But How Does It Know Me So Well?

I am sick ... but I can't sleep and that is the worst thing ever. So I fired up my mac to get some research going to help me figure out where I should go to school and this was on my google home page ... yes I have my daily horoscope on my google page. I know, I know - lame. But I am always amazed how right on it is. I am a capricorn through and through and sometimes its scary.

Anyway - here it is. The universe must know that I have a big decision ahead of me and this was its advice:

You can increase your efficiency today by analyzing all the details before jumping into a new situation. Even if everything looks very inviting, just remind yourself that you aren't in a hurry. Take your time and gather more data. Once you have enough information to see the big picture from a practical point of view, trust your judgment and make a decision.

technical difficulties

i am trying to download my 351 pictures of London, Paris, and Rome onto Flickr and i am having a few issues ... but i promise to work on it tomorrow while i am puttering around my house being sick.

must. sleep. now.

i have another announcement

So the mail carrier brought me a gift today ... and interestingly it came in a small envelope which usually is a sign of rejection and denial. But not so ... the University of Maryland, College Park wants me to enroll in their Historic Preservation Program!

That's right folks - I am 2 for 3 thus far! So .... um .... how do I decide??? So many things going through my head!

I am sick right now and my mom says not to make any decisions while I am feeling ill. So I gotta do some more research and start praying for some guidance.
