Yesterday was a happy anniversary for Kindel and I! Raquetball, salad and rice, cribbage, who could ask for anything more? It was great.
As of this morning, I have 4/5 PhD applications complete. Princeton, Stanford, Rutgers, and Johns Hopkins applications are all in the hands of their respective admissions departments. My application to Notre Dame is taking a little longer, but will be finished soon. I'll be informed of my acceptance status any time between early February and early April. At that time I'll have to decide if I want to be a Tiger, Cardinal, Scarlet Knight, Blue Jay, or Fighting Irish.
If I had to choose off of the mascots, which could be final decision factor, I'd have to go with Princeton. Who wouldn't want to be a growling/purring tiger??? Chalk it up the testosterone, if you like. The pictures tell the whole story:
Bronze statue of the mascot outside Princeton's Nassau Hall. Festive, eh?
Even if the football team sucks, who wouldn't be amused by this mascot for an hour or two?
Grrrrrrrrrr.

With all the controversy around the Chief Illiniwek (our mascot), I wonder if anyone gets offended by the Fighting Irish.
Isn't "anniversary" supposed to signify time in years since it has the "anni/o" prefix (e.g., annual)? Nonetheless, congratulations.
And be consciencious - don't kill anybody with your cooking.
Congrats on your anniversary! :) Kindel's hair looked beautiful Friday night. And, ....the anti-chief people are against all dehumanizing, racial stereotypes. The Irish are/were colonial subjects of the British Empire as well as the Native Americans-.

Cara Burnidge is applying to Notre Dame too :)
Not that it's a big deal, but some grammatical things that I just had to mention:
"happy anniversary for Kindel and ME" (indirect object: for Kindel, for me)
"SHE and I will hang around" (subject, nominative case-- not "her" and I)
This degree in Humanities has to be practical in some way! :) very best,

Hey there! I haven't talked to you in ages! I'm so glad things are going well, and Kindel sounds great! :-)
I had a question actually...what was that church we went to a few times, that sang just psalms? I was telling my fiance about it today and we wanted to visit there, but I couldn't remember where it was! I thought you'd know! :-) If you could, email me at idyllwild1984 @ juno.com.
Hope the rest of your week is great!
Because of the CO snowstorm, I stayed in CA a few extra days. Thankfully, we're making the most of it. Today we will be driving into Yosemite Nat. Park, if Lake Tahoe wasn't enuf!
