Butterfly in the sky

Well after lots of studying for the hellish GMATs and lots of applications, I ended up getting into two SUNY Albany grad programs: the MBA program and the Masters of Science in Information Studies. I choose Information Studies and plan take courses to become a school media specialist (librarian). I blame all that working with kids I did, my parents for making me read so much, and obviously Reading Rainbow with some Wishbone thrown in.



I am really excited to go back to school full-time and start a new chapter (books!) of my life.

In other unemployment news, I am still unemployed. This left me free to go visit the fam in GR on easter. The 11 hour drive was pretty good. There was no traffic at any of the borders (never happens) and a book on tape made the time fly. The visit was really nice, I got to see lots of family and many friends. I think Bailey misses me already.

Brian and I have been going to a rescue mission to serve dinner about once a week. They really needed us yesterday when we showed up. It's always nice to feel needed there and we have become friendly with a lot of the staff. One of the guys was working on a word puzzle. He walked up to me to ask a question, "You should know this, is the term administration?"
I ask in what context, he can't seem to be able figure out how to answer me. I tell him administration is a word and it can be correct. We go round and round. He asks Brian, he asks other people, everyone is confused. He comes back to me, "This administration term is for a 20 day cycle. Maybe a 14-20 day cycle".
Ohhhh now I get what he doesn't want to ask, "Do you mean the female cycle?" I ask him.
"Yeah, yeah that cycle!"
"That is called MENstruation not administration."


And for good measure Wishbone as Mr. Darcy:
