Top 5 reasons this past week has been awesome :)

5) I got the most amazingly comfortable shoes in the world. I hate wearing shoes. So this is a big deal. haha. These are so comfy that I would almost rather wear them than be barefoot.

4) When I bought them on Zappos... They upgraded my order to free overnight shipping.  This made me very happy... so I wrote back saying 'thanks this made my day'.  I guess sometimes saying thanks can be beneficial... because they responded by giving me a Zappos vip account and I now get free overnight shipping forever.  Score.

3) Hit the 'less than 30 days till I go to europe again' mark. It has been over a year.  It is time to go back.  I desperately need a vacation and nothing makes me happier than traveling.  It looks like I'm going to be able to meet up with some old friends there too. The thought of being in these places in less than a month is making the slow time at work less terrible.  It's great to have plans finalized.  Feels much more real. :)

2) I had a lot of fun crashing a party with this handsome guy...

1) Oh yeah... Guess drinking all those red bull energy drinks I mentioned last November paid off because I am officially accepted into Oxford for my masters!   I got hopeful news a little bit prior but nothing official.  So seeing an official letter was pretty great.. I don't know if I will be going for sure yet.  I still am waiting to hear back on some American schools.. But I'm really thrilled they think I could make it in the academic big leagues. :)
