Good News!!

Hello Everyone!! It's been far too long since the last post, but I thought I'd take this opportunity to share some exciting news.

About two weeks ago I was sleeping in my bed, trying to catch up on some zzzs before working a second shift. Sarah was already up and ready to head to class. Being the beautiful woman she is, she pecked my cheek with a soft kiss and wished me a good day. Hovering in the realm of slumber, I mumbled back my own interpretation of the same sentiment. Then, she left. What seemed like hours later, probably because I was intoxicated with sleep, I heard the rush of stomped feet come rushing up the stairs. It had been only a couple minutes. Still well in sleep mode, I couldn't understand what was happening, but when I heard the door to our apartment abruptly open, I assumed there was a shooting in the streets of Providence, or worse, and Sarah was coming into safety. Then, what sounded like an echo being voiced through a steel drum rushed to my ears.

"Rob! Rob! Your letter from BC is here!" i could hear Sarah say.

She was sitting on my side of the bed. I sat up, with eyes glazed over like a donut, and reached for whatever she was giving me. It was indeed an envelope from Boston College and in it was a letter informing me of my acceptance into the Graduate School of Social Work's Master in Social Work Program for the fall of 2010!!!

WOOO HOOO!!!!!!!! I DID IT!!!!!!!!

So, I hoisted myself out from the depths of sleep, still believing this was a dream, ate a delicious breakfast without taking my eyes off the letter. I would later get a phone call from Sarah informing me of a letter from Rhode Island College in our mailbox, but she didn't have time to retrieve it for me. And so, I would come to find out that I was accepted into two graduate programs for the fall of 2010! I can barely describe here on this blog how excited I am to be going back to school, continuing my education, and furthering my goals and dreams. Much more will come as to what my plans will be. For now, I am so excited to let you all know that I've been accepted into two graduate programs.

Peace.
