Today my roommate and I went to the Festival of Colors at the Hare Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork. It was so much fun! Talk about crowded....there had to be at least 6ooo-7000 people there....probably more. Everyone was thowing colored/fragranced flour stuff all over the place. What a unique experience. I hear the colors they use to celebrate the Festival in India are not washable! Yikes! The Festival of Colors celebrates the beginning of spring. I think everyone in Utah is past ready for it to be fully spring here. I know I am!
So I think I have made my decision on which school to attend for my Ph.D program. Come January, I should be living in Bloomington, Indiana, attending Indiana University. My program is Leisure Studies, with an emphasis in Therapeutic Recreation and Families. I'm so excited!!! And relieved, too. Sometime in early February I was accepted to Clemson University in South Carolina. They have a great program too, and they made me a really nice offer. But I've been holding out for IU. I must say that this was probably one of the hardest decisions I've had to make. Since I was accepted at BYU for my masters I have pretty much had my eye on IU. Most of my professors went there for their Ph.D's as well...and they all totally rock!!! But when I visited Clemson last October, I really liked it. So I was torn for a bit. But IU won out. They are pretty much the top university in the Leisure studies field, producing some of the most groundbreaking research. I'm so lucky to be able to go there. And Bloomington is a cute town. Now I just have to figure out what a Hoosier is.....
More pics of the Festival can be found on my google album page. Check them out!!
