Invited!
One of my absolute favorite Professors at BYU sent me the following email yesterday:
Absolutely YES I want to go!!! A friend of mine went a few years ago and she said it was beyond amazing.
Well, I saw a few problems with it:
1. I'm married and don't want to be without Derek all summer.
2. Tuition is about $3500 for the summer term (YEOUCH!)
3. I'm married.
Sadly, I sent an apologetic email back to Dr. Kerry, but he fired back almost immediately saying that married students have worked it out! So, Derek and I started talking about it yesterday and I started to fill out the application last night.
Do I want to go? YES!
Do I hope I get in? YES!
Does Derek want me to get it? YES!
Will we actually be able to do it? -------------??
So...here's hoping. I'm going to talk to Dr. Kerry after class today, or sometime this week, and get his input on what he thinks will work. I hope it works out....what an adventure for us!
In other news...it's supposed to Snow Saturday. :D
Dear Jennifer,
forgive me if I wrote you about this already, but I wanted to invite students who had the highest grades in History 202 to consider applying to this programme for Summer 2010:
If you are interested, I am available to answer your questions and help you to apply.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Kerry

Happy Guy Fawkes Day!
I realize that some of you who read this blog have absolutely no idea who Guy Fawkes is. Allow me to shed some light on this subject:
Guy Fawkes (the word "guy", meaning "man" or "person", is derived from his name) belonged to a group of Roman Catholics from England who planned the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Their aim was to displace Protestant rule by blowing up the Houses of Parliament while King James I and the entire Protestant, and some Catholic, aristocracy and nobility were inside.
Guy Fawkes (the word "guy", meaning "man" or "person", is derived from his name) belonged to a group of Roman Catholics from England who planned the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Their aim was to displace Protestant rule by blowing up the Houses of Parliament while King James I and the entire Protestant, and some Catholic, aristocracy and nobility were inside. The Gunpowder Plot was initially led by someone else, but Fawkes was the guy (haha) in char
ge of the execution of the plot. He was arrested, however, a few hours before the explosion was to be set off. Apparently, Scotland Yard was notified by an anonymous letter.
Now, on 5 November in the UK, there is Guy Fawkes Night, aka bonfire night. In commemoration of this magnificent plot, the people burn an effigy of Fawkes and the celebration is often accompanied by fireworks. OOo!! AAAaah!
So, Happy Guy Fawkes Day.
