Exciting news!
Mood:  celebratory
Topic: School
Earlier in the week, I received a letter:

"Dear Lauren: Congratulations on your academic achievement! Because you have distinguished yourself through your academic performance at Anne Arundel Community College, you are eligible for membership in the Omicron Theta Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, the International Scholastic Honorary Society for two-year institutions of higher educations. Membership in Phi Theta Kappa is a distinct honor, representing scholastic achievement and commitment to the ideas of leadership, service, and fellowship."

Induction ceremony is in May. I'm very happy - just wish that my dad could be there... he'd be so proud of me.

In other news, Brian got an interview with ExpressJet! They're the regional carrier for Continental... his interview is on 3/9, so keep your fingers crossed. If he gets hired, he'll probably start training (in Houston) 2-3 weeks after that, which will last approximately 2 months..... so that means he'll probably miss my birthday and induction ceremony (and his birthday too!). Their bases are in Cleveland, Houston and Newark. We'll just have to celebrate those things on different days, I imagine... we'll see how things are looking with his training and whatnot. It's something that I'm going to have to start getting used to... the rest of my life will probably be like that! He's worth it, though. :)

Anyway, I have many blogs that I need to copy and paste this to........ I've been awful about staying in touch with everyone lately, including my family and friends (well, I guess that really WOULD be everyone!). I haven't been online much in the last few weeks, so I haven't had a chance to respond to everyone's posts and emails, but I will soon hopefully. And once Brian is gone, you know that I'll be looking for things to do! Either that or I'll use my spare time to do things that I really should be doing like..........I don't know..... studying?!?!

Love you all!
