Definitely Worth It



After two days of classes and working on campus, I just have this to say: This is so completely worth it. Words just can't express how grateful and appreciative and delighted I am. Thank you, everyone who has encouraged this venture, from way back when I started working on my Master's, up through yesterday. I am glad I took this leap of faith, glad I kept working on making this happen all these years. Glad you pushed me and believed in me, when I needed it.

I have four classes, tons of reading, a research project lined up for this semester--with a goal of having an article accepted for publication by the end of the semester, projects, papers... Did I mention I have an amazing office? I'll send pictures when I get it set up.

I have so much work to do, it is hard work, and I am having a delightful time doing it. So I'm going to go. I'll leave you with pictures from yesterday, of the animals, before I went to school.
