CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations- that is all I needed to hear from Mary as I walked into the gym. She held out her hand and said "Congratulations Ali." The final decisions were made today. I will be getting the letter in 2 weeks. What on earth am I talking about? I got into the SLC fiction Grad program! I'm going back to school and I'm getting my masters degree. This is what I've wanted. This is what I've needed, and hot damn, I'm going to get it for FREE. And because I'm already taking a class right now, I'm going to go into the program with 5 credits.

So, I'll go to my job tomorrow with a brighter outlook because there are things in the distance- aspirations that are tangible. I'm not just hoping, I'm back in school.
