It’s official.  I (Cyndi) am going back to MIT.   The Systems Design and Management program office called yesterday to say I’ve been accepted.  And I have to be on campus January 5.  So now I have to channel all my excitement into a whole bunch of  preparation in a short time.   I can’t give too many details yet.  At least I have friends in Massachusetts who will let me stay with them until I figure some things out.  (Thanks, guys!)

The plan is to attend full time for 13 months and complete a masters degree.  Eddie and the kids stay here in Michigan, and Eddie gets a lot of practice at juggling.  Give him a lot of credit, and pray for him.  I hope that the economy and the job market improve in that time.  At least then I’ll be job searching with a second MIT degree (MIT squared!) and assistance from their career office.

They say that learning at MIT is like drinking from a fire hose.  Good thing I’m thirsty.
