I went on a little road trip early this week with a girlfriend and had a great time! I finally ate at benihana! It was pretty neat! I had lunch with a friend A good time was had by all!

On my drive home I think that I saw more moose than I have in a long time! Probably about 8 in a 50 mile stretch- and those are just the ones that I saw! It was a dark night, no streetlights, I guess I would equate it to driving down the road and having large horses grazing on the sides of the road free to roam wherever they want, including into traffic. When the snow starts to get deep they sometimes come down and use the roads to travel.

When I finally got home, I checked on my grants and I got them all! Even two that I didnt know I applied for. Its more than enough to pay for school and books. I have some questions about what it all means, but I guess that its pretty good news.

I say "I guess" because emotionally, I feel very strange about it all. I should be stoked, but I havent quite gotten there yet. Maybe its the possibility of severing the ties that I still have to the "old life". One of the grants is for students with "exceptional financial need" I saw that and burst into tears. Who saw that coming?!

I know that this is the chance that I have been waiting for, and all I have to do is take it. And Im sure that Ill get over being labelled as having "exceptional financial need"! This is it guys, I have some pretty heavy duty decisions to make in the next little while.
