Life is unexpectedly stressful down here on the river. Luckily, there seems to be a break in the storm clouds that have descended over my life these past two weeks or so.

So...what's new: My King's application is completely in. I should have a decision within 6-8 weeks. Also, I am now the new President of Phi Alpha Theta, the National History Honor Society, St. Mary's Chapter. I plan to use my new power to establish a dictatorial regime. Just kidding. (Or am I?) I was also accepted to Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Leadership Honor Society. I will be rocking some serious bling (in terms of cords) at graduation.
