Because my life isn't crazy enough, I have decided to apply to Harvard. Just for a summer program. The odds are against me but I'm going to give it a whirl anyhow. Prepare to celebrate with me or console me. We'll all know in April.

Alisa. 36. New Hampshire. Married for two years to this wonderful, funny, smart guy. Previously married. Went through in-vitro fertilization to have my four and a half year old magical son Keegan. Stepmother to the charming Isabelle (5). Just had our first child together, a boy, Harper(born June 10). Policy Wonk and dreaded bureaucrat. Lover of fine cuisine, honeybees, truly romantic moments and the underdog.

Oh. My. Gosh. WOW! You know, I would truly expect nothing less from you than surprising us with a post saying that you are applying to Harvard. Only you, my dear, only you-- and its fantastic. Unbelievable! CROSSING MY FINGERS.
Aim high! I like that. Best of luck (and mad skillz, of course) to you!
You'll have to work on calling it HAH-Vahd, though.
Good luck! I KNOW you'll make it!
I have no doubts you'll make it! How exciting!
OH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEEGAN!
That sounds great! What kind of program? I'll go ahead and wish you good luck, but with your ability and qualifications, I don't know that you need it. One of the students that I worked with at University of Chicago is there in the joint graduate program with Sociology and Education. (I think that's right.) You'll have to look her up!
