I know, I know, I haven't been around in awhile.  I was thinking about you guys last night and thought I should pop in.  Not sure what brought it to mind...

Anyway, lots of life changes this past year, but the dust is finally settling.  It'll be kick back up in a few months, but that'll be my own doing, so it's fine.

How has everyone been?

Mary!!! <Lady Catherine>WHERE have you BEEEEEN?</Lady Catherine>

Nice to see you! Hope all is well.

Lol!  Still in Happy Valley, for a little while longer anyway.

I've been sorting out my life.  Who knew it would be this complicated?  And why is there no instruction booklet? 

Things are very well actually.  I just had to do some rearranging in life, but it's all good now.  :)

Glad to hear it. :)

Welcome back Mary.  It's good to see you.

Thanks, Julie!  Good to see you, too.

Yeah, I broke up with my boyfriend of almost 8 years, quit my job, didn't have one for awhile, and moved around a couple of times between friends' apartments until I could get one (because in a student town, leases don't start until August). 

Now I'm happily single, work for a nice little company, have an apartment, and will be starting grad school in the fall.  It took me about a year, but I've finally got things figured out (for awhile anyway...). 

So Mags, I'm finally leaving good ol' Happy Valley and Penn State this fall.  I guess 8 years here is enough, though.  Time to move on.  :)

So where are you going to grad school and what will you be studying? If those are not too personal questions. ;)

I'm going to Dublin City University in Dublin, Ireland.  I'll be getting an MBS in Marketing.  I'm pretty excited.

A treat to see you Mary, Good luck in Dublin.  ;)

I just finished putting in my fifth grad school application. Fingers crossed.

My grad school app as surprisingly easy and it's the program that I wanted, so I was pleasantly surprised.  I was going to apply to some other schools, but the apps for those closed after I had to tell DCU whether or not I was coming.  So, it's DCU for me.  I checked out the campus in January - nice little setup.  I'm excited.  I want it to be summer already so I can move over there already!

WOW! How very cool! Not so hard giving up Happy Valley for that, I dare say!

Yeah, I think I'll survive.  :)  I wanted a big change.  I think this is a fairly big change. 

I just found out that my school has an American football team.  I might have to go to a game, just so I can compare to Penn State football.  Should be pretty funny!  :)
