Here is the reply I posted:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"tr_bq\"\u003E\nI'm currently at Hackbright, which is 10 weeks plus whatever help you need to finish your app project. Christian is a really great teacher (and very funny and witty), and David does a great job at doing the networking each of us needs. The program is tough, but the pair programming really motivates and the small class size makes us feel like family. I've talked to the previous students, and though ten weeks of learning seems unlikely to get anyone anywhere, their lives have totally changed for the better. Most are now working at successful companies as developers and product managers. Christian makes sure to tell us about coding interviews and attitudes and which companies and job might be best according to each of our preferences. Yesterday, we looked at another language (we've been working intensely with Python), and I was surprised to find that I understood it easily because of my new understanding of Python, HTML, and Rails--it's all coming together because of what we've learned in only two weeks. There is so much more to learn, but I feel encouraged because I've seen that it's possible. I can't speak for the other programs, but Hackbright is awesome and successful in moving me in a new direction.\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\nJust yesterday, I was thinking how lucky I am to have gotten into the program, and then to have them allow me to defer since my feet were broken. I respect the other women so much and have been impressed with every one I have worked with so far (only six more to go). It is great to make jokes or just talk about things that I never was really able to connect with a lot of people about before. (Does that sentence make any sense?) We are stressed. I'm out of energy every day around between 2 and 3 PM. But somehow we're all surviving and we're all learning--and that's exactly what we want and need, so it's great.

I was quite ungrateful; what a horrible thing to be on the day before America celebrates Thanksgiving.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nMy money has not run out. I guess there are a several things that have me scared. First of all, simply living without any steady money coming in is scary. Then, getting to the conference in Istanbul is important for my academic career, but it's not going to be cheap. Additionally, applying to get a PhD is not cheap and may not pay off. Because of visa stuff, I have to move somewhere next year, which is going to be extremely hard if I don't find an apartment that is already furnished (which is highly unlikely), and the places I'm looking at are much more expensive than Leipzig--at least quadruple as much for rent. However, these things don't give me reason to be ungrateful or to start begging when I'm so blessed.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nMy life is actually quite comfortable when I think about it--I live in an apartment that has everything I need, including bookshelves, couch, desk, armoir, mirror, washing machine, dishes, utensils, internet that works sometimes, etc. I can't imagine where I would be at financially if I had had to purchase all of those things (or similar items) last year. What a blessing it is to be able to live here and experience so much! Leipzig is not expensive, even travel is amazingly cheap (for Salt Lakers, think of getting a ride to Pocatello for five bucks). Additionally, I'm not starving and I haven't gotten sick of the basics yet. I'm medically insured. My health is usually pretty good. I have many supportive friends here. Opportunities to earn a little bit of money show up here and there--on Monday, I'm even going to start selling plasma twice a week.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nMore importantly, my family is well and I have the gospel.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nFaith + tithing + thriftiness + gratitude will do the trick.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSo, to apologize for my ingratitude and to distract you from it, here are two pictures to show 1. how I've become the layering queen to stay warm in the cold (in the first picture, I have on the following: wool socks, normal socks, thermal pants, jeans, fleece pants, undershirt, shirt, dress thingy, zippy jacket, a heavy sweater, coat, scarf, fleece gloves--the second picture acts as contrast) and 2. my cute little bandage from my appointment at the plasma place. Instead of first taking blood from my finger, they took it from my earlobe, which I think is brilliant--it doesn't hurt as much (then or later), and my fingers are always cold and thus hard to get blood out of. The lady there told me to eat heftily and to drink \"up to here,\" signaling the neck, before coming to my appointments.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_YeBbEPb5EuY\/SS69BS8TgVI\/AAAAAAAAI9s\/-P39473FM4M\/s1600-h\/P1010797.JPG\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_YeBbEPb5EuY\/SS69BS8TgVI\/AAAAAAAAI9s\/-P39473FM4M\/s200\/P1010797.JPG\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273360043659723090\" style=\"cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 200px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 117px;\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_YeBbEPb5EuY\/SS69BlrjT_I\/AAAAAAAAI90\/ac-npr8KGwo\/s1600-h\/P1010802.JPG\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_YeBbEPb5EuY\/SS69BlrjT_I\/AAAAAAAAI90\/ac-npr8KGwo\/s200\/P1010802.JPG\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273360048689729522\" style=\"cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 200px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 86px;\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nAlso, here's a nice Thanksgiving clip from Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman (oh how I used to love that show, and as an American Studies student, it could totally be some good material) wherein Johnny Cash sings.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cobject height=\"344\" width=\"425\"\u003E\u003Cparam name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/pA7ujUJCIdE\u0026amp;hl=en\u0026amp;fs=1\"\u003E\u003Cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\u003E\u003Cparam name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"\u003E\u003Cembed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/pA7ujUJCIdE\u0026amp;hl=en\u0026amp;fs=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"\u003E\u003C\/embed\u003E\u003C\/object\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nHappy Thanksgiving!"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/michelleglauser.blogspot.com\/feeds\/8596669241913976040\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/michelleglauser.blogspot.com\/2008\/11\/belated-gratitude.html#comment-form","title":"2 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/31849511\/posts\/default\/8596669241913976040"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/31849511\/posts\/default\/8596669241913976040"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/michelleglauser.blogspot.com\/2008\/11\/belated-gratitude.html","title":"Belated Gratitude"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Michelle Glauser"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/01646213573761736892"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_YeBbEPb5EuY\/SS69BS8TgVI\/AAAAAAAAI9s\/-P39473FM4M\/s72-c\/P1010797.JPG","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"2"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31849511.post-3157545340042987643"},"published":{"$t":"2008-08-08T22:40:00.003-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2014-02-25T09:01:44.429-08:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"my life"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"opportunities"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"photos"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Olympics, aspeers, Today"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.boston.com\/bigpicture\/2008\/08\/2008_olympics_opening_ceremony.html\"\u003EThis site\u003C\/a\u003E has really cool Beijing Olympics Opening pictures.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAlso, \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/aspeers.com\/2009\"\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E's the new call for papers\/creative work for aspeers for 2009.
