This morning I officially contacted Creighton University and told them I won't be coming to Omaha next year. That means it's the University of Colorado for me. I'm excited and nervous, and can't wait to come home. It's a great school and I think I'll be really happy there.
I had planned to make a final decision sooner, but there has been a little issue with my in-state classification for tuition purposes. May 15th is the deadline where students can only hold one acceptance, and I couldn't wait any longer. I still have no answer from CU, but I am relatively confident that I will be classified as in-state. Even if I am not, I have a strong case for appeal. I pay my taxes in Colorado, I'm registered to vote there, my driver's license is from Colorado and I've only been gone about 7 months.
The next couple of weeks will be really busy. I am heading up a quit-smoking event on the 31st. I will be out of town the weekend before, so I will have to get a lot done before I leave. Sharon, Talia, Christina and some other friends are headed to the Adirondacks for Memorial Day weekend. It should be a lot of fun. We will be hiking, cooking out, and just enjoying the outdoors. I had my first orienteering training on Saturday, and I will try to practice some of my new skills.
I'm enjoying the weather out here this month. There has been a lot of rain, which is sorely needed, broken up by lovely, warm weather. Today could go either way.
Not much news here. Love to everyone!
Lynne
