OFFICIAL

The name change was approved.  Now I just have to transfer the new name to all the old accounts, documents, schools, etc.
And with the new law in effect when I go to the DMV to change my name I can also change my gender marker to M!

Yippee

So MUCH has happened!

I really should post more often as a lot of really awesome things have been happening recently and I have done a very poor job at relaying/chronically any of it.  So here goes, as quickly as I can possibly update (as I have to get ready for work in about 15 minutes)
1.  I was officially accepted to grad school at Radford University to work towards a Masters in Social Work on 5/16 (at least, that is when I found out!)
2.  I finally had the stones in my right kidney blown to bits, also on 5/16!
3.  I think I have full coverage for my tuition and fees for the year, sadly it is through student loans, but I'm hoping that I can work on that as I don't want to be paying back loans for 20 years after retirement.
4.  I will likely have an internship in Floyd for the first two semesters.  Sadly, this may require wearing a suit and tie every day.  So I found two suits at Goodwill for $7 each!
5.  I OFFICIALLY filed for my name change to Aaron Christopher two days ago.  The woman at the clerk's office was less than cordial about accepting my paperwork.  Hopefully the judge will be more open-minded, but we shall see.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I think that is the majority of the big things.  I'll write more about all of it later as it is time to start thinking about food, hopping in the shower, taking Taffy out, etc!
