Not just good news....GREAT NEWS!!!

Just got my results in for my comprehensive exam...(drumroll please)....I passed!!!! Which means, officially, that I now have a full-fledged Masters degree!!! All that's left is the graduation ceremony on June 3rd, but otherwise...I...AM...DONE:>) :>) :>) I felt as if I was floating on air last night when I came home from babysitting and saw the letter waiting for me!
So, I know that's not SUPER exciting for everyone else, but after 2 1/2 years of studying, working up to 4 jobs just to pay tuition and living expenses, and a lot of worrying about if I was even going to make it out....it is over. This is one of the best feelings ever! I am going to invite everyone and their dog to my graduation....So, if you're reading this, you're invited! Unfortunately, my family won't be there so I'm hoping I can extend the invitation to those whom I've adopted as my 'Swiss family':>)

Well, I just wanted to share my news! If you're reading this in the morning, it's probably too much for your brain to see so many exclamation marks, happy faces and words all in caps....but I just had to shout this one out!!!!Now, I just need to find one of those pesky job things...that might prove to be more difficult than the last 2 1/2 years!Til next time, my friends:>)

It's time to experiment....I noticed that some of my friends use this site called photobucket.com to upload video clips and pictures so that they easily insert them into their blog. Sooooo....I'm posting my first ever video! And if that works, then there will be more to come:>)

I chose a video I had taken on Christmas, of my niece, Lucy, with her new toy...a baby surfboard. Isn't she adorable?!

Let me know if you have problems seeing or watching it!
