Accepted!

Hey, this is really exciting! I got accepted to an English Master’s program yesterday!!

Not sure if you remember, but a while back I wrote a post about how frustrated I was with myself for neglecting to double-check the application deadline for this particular school, and found myself scrambling to get it in on time. Well, I managed to get all parts of the application submitted and apparently the admissions council looks favorably upon my application. I am accepted!

I have a few weeks to make a decision, and in that time I will wait to hear back from a couple other schools I applied to. As I was chatting with Jill on the phone today she asked, “Don’t you feel so relieved?” And I replied that, Yes, I feel monumentally relieved. For the past few weeks I have been in a little bit of a funk, a stupor, perhaps, and I haven’t been quite sure what it was all about. Immediately after I opened my packet and soaked in those amazing words of acceptance I realized exactly what it was that had been bothering me. So much has been up in the air the last few weeks: I didn’t have a job to help me start earning money and keep me busy (now I do, today was my first day!) and I had absolutely no clue about where I would end up at school. Now, while I haven’t made an final decisions, at least I know there is somewhere I can go. I have more of an idea about my future than I did last week, and that is a tremendous relief.
