I'm Back!

I feel like I've been gone from everyone and everything these past couple months. I'm sorry and I miss being in contact with people and not just books and words. With the start of school and then my decision to go back to school next year to pursue a Ph.D. life seemed to get out of hand. I'm happy to say that I'm back now!

Since I've been working a lot and I'm shifting back into Spanish I will not be writing for WritersNewsWeekly every week anymore. I do plan on updating my blog weekly because I will miss writing my column. I love hearing back from you and I can't tell you how many times I've thought about Lynne's comment contemplating which book she would want to memorize. I had never considered that question before and have loved to let it swirl about my mind. No answer yet.

While I anticipate being better able to write in a few days time in for now I at least have to say "hurray" that the GRE is over! First, yes, I lament that the mathematician in me ran away sometime over the past few years. I tried so hard to find her but she would not come back to me, even for one last rendezvous. I used to be somewhat good at math but as I studied over the past month I kept remembering that Barbie doll from when I was growing up that said, "Math is hard!" I wanted to prove Barbie wrong on that one but my inner mathematician never resurfaced. Without her I am now average or worse. Such is life. The verbal girl did come back full on however and I was thrilled to find myself in the ninety-eighth percentile. Yay!

I happily recovered from the test by spending three days with my whole family in a cottage in Carmel. With an injured wrist from volleyball I didn't prove to be much fun to play Frisbee with but the long walks were fabulous. I know I've said it before but I could seriously walk forever...especially in Carmel.
