Good news, good news!!

So far so good. I haven't received any rejections from any schools at this point. I did receive word from Georgetown the day after my last post, but it said I was on their "preferred waitlist". I'm not exactly sure what this means, but I think it's better than being deferred. We'll see what happens with them.

On the same day, I received my acceptance package from George Washington University. That was really exciting. When I first started looking at which schools I should apply to, I told my Wife that I thought I would probably be at GW when everything was said and done. I would definately be happy there. The school is located right in the middle of everything in D.C. and from everything I've read and heard, it's a great school. So, as it stands right now, that's where I'll be going. There are still quite a few schools that I haven't heard back from in my "target" range, but I don't think any of them would beat out this one. Of course, if I get some good news from NYU, Columbia or GULC, than I will be attending one of them. Maybe we'll know more next week.

Beauty at the beach

The wedding was gorgeous and turned out better than we imaginined, especially on such short notice after Hurricane Wilma. The bride was beautiful, the party was wild and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely (Click on the title above to view some of the pictures). However, we're now back from the beach and real life has started again. I had my first day at my old job last night which went alright... just a bit of a refresher/retraining course for the first week or two since there have been a few changes to protocol and a few new tests added to the lab.

I did receive a second admission to American University Washington College of Law in Washington, D.C. while we were away so that was an added bonus. My father received it the day before Christmas I guess... At the moment, I would attend American over San Diego because of the opportunities available in D.C. that aren't in San Diego, but I'm really hoping to hear good things from a number of other schools by the end of this month or at the very latest, the end of February. I was kind of expecting something from Georgetown today in the mail (I went "Decision" on their online status checker sometime last week), but of course the mailman hasn't arrived yet and I have to go to work.

There are quite a few other things I should mention but I'm short on time so they'll have to wait until next time. If I do get that letter today or tomorrow, next time will be very soon. I'll let you all know...
