So, y'all have been so supportive of my decision to start grad school this fall, I thought I should let you know... I am officially a member of The University of St. Thomas' Master of Arts in Leadership in Student Affairs program!

I went to see Les Mis tonight with some friends at a dinner theatre and just got home to my acceptance package! I am so excited! This is even more motivation to pump up PC so I can get an assistantship and just do grad school, an assistantship and PC! I want to quit my job by Christmas!

Plus, I have been without health insurance since December and by going to grad school full time, I qualify for the university's insurance program! wahoo! I can be sick now!

I just wanted to share my excitement with all of you and thank you for the encouragement!
 
That is soooooo wonderful for you! ConGRADschoolations!!!
 
That is awsome Allison!!! I have two years left before I get my undergrad!!!! ConGRADS!!!

So I just shared my plan to quit my day job in the next few weeks to focus on grad school and PC with my entire upline and a few other consultants who I have been close with... between y'all and them if I don't have a full August schedule to hit the ground running with I am going to be hounded until I do! This weekend = phone time! tomorrow night's show = bookings galore!

As I have been in a hell-ish week (sick, lost my voice, etc), I am catching up on my contacts this weekend... however after a really good cluster meeting last night where we had a guest speaker who talked about making contacts, I have been better about asking friends who I have not previously asked for various reasons. Today I asked a friend who I have worked with for over a year, who just got married last year. She is thinking about it. She would love the free stuff, as they just bought a place, but wants to check with her and her DH's fam to get an idea if people would come. I am going to book at least 5 August shows by Sunday night, even if it kills me (1 down, 4 to go!). With this new motivation, I am even thinking about offering all my hosts in August a special thank you for getting my new plan on track! I think it may be a free show Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake month for me :) (can we say cookware?!?!)

Are you not allowed to wear logo wear to work?

I work at a college where our students have a dress code they have to follow, including no logo wear of any kind. Since they have to follow it, we, as employees, have to follow it as well. Which means I will be taking my new sparkly shirt with me to change into after work...
