Last month, I finished my applications to 7 grad school programs in environmental policy/public policy/economics with a focus on environmental issues. Kinda broad, kinda not. Anyhow I was expecting to hear decisions in March, but this morning, as I was hemming and hawing and maximizing my downtime between masters swim practice and my long run, omg, I got an email! From the University of Colorado at Boulder! Saying I was accepted to their M.A. in Public Policy program and would I like to come visit at the end of February! (yes!)
So that was exciting. Maybe I’ll start hearing from my other programs soon. And after falling in love with Hawaii all over again, I’m toying with the idea of applying here. The application isn’t due until March 1! But is there such a thing as too many good options? Probably.

In sort of similar-ish news, let’s all welcome Kelly to the ranks of “oh my god, what was I thinking, am I seriously standing on a start line next to Mirinda Carfrae”. Congrats on the pro license, Kelly!

Last night, I drove The Car to the airport to ship my brother off to Park City for skiing, Sundance, and his 30th birthday. Then I drove it home. I was pretty nervous, on the freeway, at night, in the rain, with my brother’s precious baby, which the last time I drove a car was when I accidentally borrowed it over a month ago. But all was fine, especially after I did a 7-point turn in order to park.
I miss Than already! This stay in Hawaii has been the longest stretch of time I have spent with my Little Brother since we were in high school, which was the first time since we were babies that we realized that we each thought the other was cool. This was also around the time when I totally saved his a$$ when my mom thought she smelled pot and I, clueless, was like “Ma! It’s my tea! God.” without realizing that I totally saved his a$$.
Anyway here’s a little summary of my LB in the years when we have liked each other (hence skipping toddlerhood through teenage years). I’m in all but 2 photos so the gallery is totally not boring.
