thank you
March 20, 2008
I have felt so blessed these two days. I’m really grateful for everything that’s happened. Sure, I think this good streak has ended already, but I’m still grateful. The biggest thing? I got into Syracuse University! It’s so wonderful to finally be accepted (it’s my first acceptance letter!) and feel wanted somewhere, and know that I am amazing and I have enough potential to matriculate at this great school. I’ve heard that Syracuse is a party school, but I don’t care, it has an amazing communications college that I’m going to apply to again if I decide to go. Plus, Syracuse’s colors are navy and orange. ORANGE, you guys. The orange was definitely a reason why I applied–I even told my interviewer, haha. Oh bless her, I thought she would say that I’m not fit for Syracuse–I guess I was wrong!
My nukes and are driving up to Toronto for the weekend and might stop by at Syracuse. I’m looking forward to walking across the quads of my maybe-university. Aghhhhhhhh I’m just so happy about all this! Initially, when I got the two emails yesterday, I was skeptical because I didn’t receive an official “Your Admissions Decision” email like Kitty did, but I called up today and Julie (coincidentally, she was the one who interviewed me) said that most likely I’ve been admitted but my emails were messed up. So yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! College really is in my future!
I’d been feeling down about college because people were getting acceptance letters left, right, and center and I had nothing. My cousin’s decided on a college for a while now (Posse Scholarship) so it’s depressing to know nothing while she’s been all set to go since December. But now I’m happy to be accepted somewhere–I can breathe more easily. I still have to work hard, though. I have this fear that I’ll be accepted but suddenly rejected if I don’t keep my grades up.
…Which should start with sleeping earlier and getting to first period on time. I have O’Shea again, so hopefully he’ll remember how badly late I was and maybe be a little lenient. Or not. We get report cards on Wednesday (!) so we’ll see.
