I did it! I have worked hard and long and stressed out to the point of exhaustion, but I scored excellently on the GRE today! I couldn't have done it without a LOT of help, so here's the official list of acknowledgements!

Thank you to my folks who provided me with the excellent education that got me started where I am and for being so supportive. Thank you to my awesome Dude of Dudeness because you and I goof around all the time but you're there for me when I really need it. Thank you to Maddie and Chelsey cuz you guys keep me sane (not) by exercising my creative side with storytelling and doodles. And thank you to Grandma and Grandpa who have always encouraged me in every way to pursue my education. A big thanks to all of the above for your prayers, your support, your comfort and for having faith in me when I didn't. I love you all so much and I owe you guys big time! Stay tuned for more good news, I hope!!! Okay, I'll stop being mushy now.
