Highlites of the week:
-- having out 5-person tent laden with sleeping bags caught up by a gale-force wind and blow across the campsite hitting a tree.
-- reciting The Raven while the wind and rain pillaged our tent.
-- reading Slaughter-House Five, The Road, and Richard II
-- enjoying the quiet of mountains
Grad school update:
I've now gotten acceptance/assistantship letters from OU and OSU. I have gotten rejection letters from FSU and UTenn. Purdue and Mizzou are left.
Mom's Chemo Update:
She has had chemo for the past couple weeks and is still doing fine. Apparently it can take a little while for the drugs to have their debilitating side effects. She hasn't lost her hair yet and is in good spirits.

Yay for hiking. And reality.
Hehe, and flying tents. It's a good thing there was a tree to catch it. When we (Jo's family) camp on a windy gravel bar or sandbar, there wouldn't be anything to stop the tent from traveling cross country or going in the river. We load the corners with rocks.
Ooh, "The Raven" on a stormy night sounds excellent.
And congrats on the grad schools. :)
Ditto to all Joanna said; and excellent reading material for a trip. Richard II is one of my favs.
ahHA! *points an exaggerated finger of accusation in your general direction* I should have known, Nathaniel Shank....you WOULD be Beowulf, wouldn't you?!
...yeah this is Anna (Stilwell) btw and no, I do not know why I am purusing around people's blogs at some unholy hour of the night either. My only explaination is that it's the weekend and I don't have to get up early tomorrow/today.
