The following is a representation of yesterday afternoon as I recall it...
Approx. 4:45pm " ": Hi Alan, we spoke a few hours ago, but its my pleasure to let you know we have a spot for you at UGA. Congratulations!
Approx. 5:15pm " ": The reality sets in, and I can hold it together enough to start calling family and friends to tell them the good news.
Approx. 10:15pm " ": I arrive in Athens.
Approx. 8:10am on 8/15: Orientation check-in. Yep, I wasn't dreaming.
Soooo, I will probably be going on a 3 year hiatus in lieu of my sudden change in circumstances. Simply put, I couldn't be happier. I have absolute confidence that it was solely the grace of God that brought me where I am today - I have been confused, and at times, frustrated, but I am completely humbled by the grace and faithfulness of my Lord and Savior.
Maybe I'll check in after I finish mid-terms in December...
Somehow in this vast internet I found your blog...actually I just saw the link on your facebook profile. And thought I'd say hi and that I'm really excited for you. So there you go. Congrats!
