I'm meeting up with a professor from SLU tomorrow for them to evaluate my resume and determine whether or not if I could get into any PhD programs next year...
(yes, SLU. The same university that canceled their program and threw my academic future in limbo. fun stuff.)
Only maddie has to come with me. Making this meeting only ten times more nerve-racking.
Hopefully...
1. the professor likes babies
2. Being a mother somehow makes me a more attractive candidate.
3. maddie sleeps like an angel the entire time.
of course, now that I'm saying this, none of it will come true. I can see it now... I will get horribly lost in traffic, I'll struggle finding a parking spot in downtown saint louis, it will be 110 degrees (again), making maddie miserable and angry. I'll stumble into the meeting late with sweat stains everywhere, Maddie will scream so loud that I won't be able to hear anything that the professor has to tell me (even though the only thing the professor will have to say is "amber, you're pathetic and no university will ever accept you and your nasty baby!") and then after leaving the meeting, I'll come back to the car to realize that I've parked in the wrong parking spot and my car was towed away.
Obviously it's time to stop thinking about this and go to bed.

Oh my goodness... You and your darling daughter are both adorable - and it's going to go great. They are lucky, that you're willing to give them a second chance... And they should feel honored to have you as one of their students :) **fingers crossed** for you! Love you much!
ReplyDeletelol! I am seriously cracking up. You are so funny! You will do great, and Maddie is too stinkin' cute for anyone to call her "nasty". Good luck!
