Like a Disney Princess! My dreams are coming true! (I didn't have a princess crown, so I had to use the next best thing.)
I am so happy and so excited! A week ago I mentioned I had an interview I was excited about, but I didn't want to say more because I didn't want to jinx it. Well, yesterday I found out I got the Fellowship!!!!
I can hardly believe it. I nearly started crying. It's only a 10 week summer Fellowship, but it's with my dream-job organization, so I pretty much consider it my dream job. A fellowship with Creative Commons. A Google Policy Fellowship with Creative Commons. Wow.
Mommy and Daddy are happy, probably mostly because I'll be getting paid (it's a stipend) for working for the first time in 6 years. And they're happy because I'm happy. I think Mr. Trizzle is as excited as I am. He gets it. He knows how awesome this is; how important Google and CC are in this field (the field I'm trying to make "my" field), and how much this is exactly where I want to be. It couldn't get more perfect. Yet, somehow, I think it'll still only go up from here.
On another happy side note: my presentation went well today and the class and professor liked my report. In fact some of the students complained about my being in the group to go first because I set the bar too high. And here I thought I was just having fun with my homework ;) If anyone wants to see the whole report, let me know and I'll email it to you. It's quite humorous, I think.
[...ok, now I have to go do my 24-hr take home final...]

A pirate hat is as good as a crown? (I guess you have a better tiara, then munchkinhead ;) ). I think that dress fits you better know than it did when it was first made! Congratulations again!
Why not? What's Munchkinhead's tiara like? And I think you're right about the dress - except now I have nowhere to wear it.
congrats big! i am very excited for you!!! :-D i know what it's like to get the fellowship (internship in my case) that you really want!
HOORAY!!!!
Munchkinhead doesn't have a tiara (much to her chagrine) - but she does have a pirate captain's hat! So if you're pirate hat is the next best thing to a crown - then I guess her pirate's captain hat is the next best thing to a tiara?!?!
Could you wear the dress to the barrister's ball - or isn't it the right style?
Ummm... not really barrister's style. Why don't you get munchkinhead a tiara for easter?
Wow! Congrats!
(and welcome back to CA) ;)
