Today was a pretty good day :)

So first off, thank you to anyone and everyone that has donated to Dasan's "get to DC" fund! He has almost $500 of the $3000 that he needs! For just 2 days, that's amazing... but we need to register as soon as possible so that space doesn't run out. So if you can, visit his facebook page and donate! And tell all your friends ;)

In other news... I had a phone interview today with the very lovely lady in HR at the Lawrence Berkeley Lab. I was so nervous it's kind of ridiculous. Keep your fingers crossed though! I'm waiting to hear back to see if they will be calling me in for an interview with the department heads. I SO want this.

Also this morning Dasan was Thomas Jefferson in some kind of interactive history lesson/play at his school. It was LONG, but totally adorable. Though I must say I'm more than a little irritated that it was all about the original 13 colonies and there was nothing more than a collective "oh bummer" about both slavery and the genocide of Native Americans. I'm going to send that program a little something something because they literally just said "oh bummer" about it. Not cool.

Ok... back to work. I've got stuff to read and finals to study for. Oh, and a paper to write. Ugh.

I'm telling all my bloggy friends about Dasan tomorrow on my blog... YAY! We wanna take that $500 to $1000 by the end of the week!

Congrats again on your first interview today. THAT was definitely not a bummer *smile* I know they will call back, they have to call back, they'd be crazy not to call back.

Thank you! This whole week has been so fun and crazy and good and stressful all at once!

I have my fingers crossed that the tides are changing, hopefully soon we will surf out of this village in style ;)

good luck and congratulations on both the interview and dasan's nomination.

if i had a green card or a job yet i'd definitely donate, but we'll see what this summer brings.

We have to register soon, J. But you can help by posting a link to his page on your blog... telling your friends to do the same, and just crossing your fingers for us!

I'm thinking only good thoughts for your immigration process too, I know it must be a total pain. If you kids ever come out to the Bay Area in CA you better let me know <3
