Part of the problem with having a wildly successful blog (*snort*) is that I can’t write about certain things. Obviously not because I am embarrassed to tell the internet about my shower routine or pretend pets, but because people at work read this. And I am trying not to let it inhibit me too much, but at the same time – a little fear of telling the public what a nutcase I am is probably healthy for my career.
So, I won’t tell you about how on a Friday after a long week where I was just feeling kind of “out of it” and cranky for no real reason, that I came into work pretty late. I shouldn’t have been late, and have been pretty good about coming in on-time (read: much earlier) in the past few weeks, but it was Friday, gloomy, I had no meetings and I just wasn’t that worried. So, I won’t tell you that after I got to my desk 40 minutes late that I saw I had an IM from the CEO, twenty minutes earlier, asking if I was in the office. Or that he wanted to go to lunch with me today and I looked down and I was wearing my awesome “Day of the Dead” skull shoes. Very professional. Because, if that had happened to me, it would be just my luck. But I wouldn’t tell you guys all that.
Here’s what I will tell you. I was on my way home after what ended up being a pretty productive day (even though I was hungry, because despite being bought lunch – I didn’t eat much because I was busy yapping) and Frank called to tell me that there was a letter in the mail for me – from grad school! He confirmed it was a thin letter, so I asked him to just open it and read it – because at least this way I will know if I needed to buy ice cream on the way home (believe me, this makes sense to me.)
He opened it. Grad school was pleased to accept my application! I am in. This was very exciting! I was of course, hoping to get in, but was aware that it was a possibility I wouldn’t be accepted. But I am! Eventually, at some point, somehow, I will get my MS in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. I have to figure out how I am going to pay for it, what my schedule will look like and all those other fun details later, but for now – I am just going to be happy that the chapter of my life where I worry about having to eventually re-take the GRE, and if I should go to grad school -is over. Now I can start being anxious and nervous over something real instead of something theoretical. This, in my world, is considered an improvement.

Nice post. Congrats on getting into grad school. I completely relate to your post, and buying ice cream on the way home makes perfect sense to me.
Congratulations on both your wildly popular blog and getting into grad school! And yes, the ice cream thing makes total sense.
Hi-Five!!!!! That’s fantastic!
Sidenote: The skull shoes; the same ones that I love from Target?
At the risk of sounding too snotty – how many skull shoes do you think I own?
I’d just like to say, again, congratulations!
I can’t wait to hear all about the grad school plans! =D
Congratulations! Now comes the really fun part, going back to school. Good luck!
Congrats!
Congrats on grad school! Best of luck to you.
