grad school

BIG NEWS. i am moving to dallas, was accepted to the UTD audiology program and will start on august 27th. i was on the waitlist for months and told that a spot probably wouldn't open up, however a student had to withdraw unexpectedly and opened up a spot for me. will be returning to austin on july 25th and will have three weeks to move to dallas. kind of nice that it all happened so quickly as it gives me less time to over-think going back to school. it is a very good program, rated third in the country. i hope to find a reasonable house in east dallas/lakewood area and seeing as DFW is a large airport hub i am expecting everyone to come visit.

west coast road trip

at the end of may i was lucky enough to go on an epic road trip with jenny bergen. she was testing cellphone network coverage for pc magazine and she let me tag along! her work paid for the car, gas, lodging, and a food stipend for the drive from LA to seattle. i had a great time! saw a lot of friends along the way, and stayed on in seattle to visit clint and shannon. was even able to pop down to portland for a few days to stay with mali and dave. there are some random pictures on my flickr account, waiting to get a lot more from jenny. i didn't have a camera so had to rely on her digital camera for most of the pictures.

after heading back to coloardo from washington i did some dog sitting for cameron and gwynne while they went on their honeymoon. charlotte is the best day! she was so well behaved and was great company. really interested in getting a dog now. check my flickr for pictures of her. i really enjoyed having an extended amount of time in denver, usually only get up to town for a night or two. spent a lot of time reading and catching up with friends.
