McNair and UTA

I am getting worse at updating.  I got a letter in the mail today about the McNair program at UNL.  I didn't get in.  I'm kind of glad, kind of don't care.  I prayed about it before submitting my application and I almost didn't even turn it in because I thought the program just wasn't right for me.  So, God has other plans for me, and so do I.  Let's hope they're the same ones!  haha.  So far I think they are.  I'm kind of excited to get the rejection letter because with rejection comes a free summer to travel abroad!  Or work in a derm. office, or work at CCH again!  Anyway, I feel lame because now when someone asks me about it I'll have to tell them that McNair didn't want me :(  Oh well, I still know that I was completely over qualified for the program and I will have other plans.
UTA:  Well...  It's not that bad.  Communication is terrible and I can't figure out how to get a student ID so I can work out at their fitness center, but whatever.  My Spanish professor is nice, oh and the class is completely easy.  Lots of work, but easy.  I'm supposed to be taking the equivalent of SPAN 304 (advanced Spanish grammar) at UNL however UTA uses the book for the equivalent of SPAN 204 (intermediate Spanish grammar and writing) so I'm essentially re-taking a class I've already taken but getting higher credit for it.  Not sure how I feel about that because it makes me nervous to return to the more difficult SPAN program at UNL :/  Plus if I'm paying $952 for this class I should be getting the class I want!
Does all my school talk bore you?
Well I don't have any exciting life updates...  Kyle and I had our three year anniversary last Friday (June 4) and we celebrated it at Traildust in Arlington.  Live music and dancing and lots of steak!  Kyle bought me a strapless sundress (complete wtih matching jewelry) as a gift so I wore it that night.  I love that he took the time to go shop for an entire outfit for me (he hates shopping) and I love that he was able to pick me out something completely my style and perfect (in the correct size compliments of Sarah.  As soon as I get used to using my new camera software on my computer I'll post pictures, but don't hold your breath...
Amanda moved into  her apartment!  Well, actually Nate moved in and she's helping him while slowly moving stuff of her own in.  Nate did an AMAZING job on making her dressers (for those of you who don't know he's excellent with a hammer and nails and hand crafted two dressers for their new place!).  Oh and I got new wedding shoes!  I'm returning the old ones I bought because I originally wanted the ones I just bought but didn't want to spend $70 for them (make sense?).  I found them at Marshall's for $40.  Alright, the end.  Back to work.
