I Got In!!!

Yes, I was accepted to graduate school!!! I was a little scared at first because two weeks ago another student in my program said she was accepted provisionally with a 3.7!!! I was like what?! And she applied for summer, not fall, so I wasn't sure when I would receive my letter, and I was definitely scared to find out what it would say. After a relaxing four days in Williamsburg with my bf and in-laws :) I came back to find an envelope from Moseley House, which only meant it was my letter. I could not open it up in the elevator, just in case it was some bad news, I did not want to have a breakdown in public. So...I played it safe and went in my room, closed the door, and opened it. :) I looked at it and read it twice before I comprehended...I saw that I was accepted, but I was looking for something that said provisional. No, not at all, just admitted! I called my bf and actually started crying when I told him. I just could not believe it. I've put in so much work, and have had so many headaches and tears just dealing with life and trying to manage school and taking care of myself...and now it was paying off. I am on my way to receive my M.T. and I can't believe it.

I just think back and say I was just a freshman...what are you saying? I just can't believe it! I can....because I worked hard for it and believe that I am ever so deserving of it but I'm still like omgoodness because school is SO important to me and I put in 100% to everything I do....school....my relationship....my friendships....the few in my family that love me and support me. It just feels good and I think I can brag about it and not feel bad. Not at all. So, this summer I just have to finish up my two undergrad courses and graduate school in Fall '08!!!! Yesterday I completed my last final for the semester and was in the education computer lab and saw these grad students with this HUGE binder filled with all of these different activities and plans that they had to make .... one for math and one for science ... and I realized that's me next semester. I was like....ummm....so that's gonna be my reality. LOL...it sucked and made me smile at the same time because I'm just gonna take it like I've taken this past year. I will struggle, have headaches, miss out on a little fun now and again, but in the end it will be worth it and I can't believe that in December '09 I will be 23 years old with a M.T. That's crazy!!! :)
