• This week has been CRAZY.

  This week started off crappily. I was stressing and sad because everyone else found out about college before me.

  I was actually even in the process of writing a rant blog here about it….This was on Tuesday,mind you. I’ve been crazy and haven’t posted it yet.

  But that blog is what possessed me to check my application status at my top choice. You see, I wrote on their Facebook wall on Monday asking when my application would be complete and an admissions guy COMMENTED ON my post saying I’d hear back “sometime in the near future”. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to indulge in my daily usually more than once obsessive check to see my application status….

  So I log onto my account and instead of just seeing “Check Application Status” I see “Student Services”, “Financial Aid”, and “Admissions”…..I figure it’s a good sign, so I click to check my application status.

  Instead of saying that my application status was “Incomplete items outstanding” or “Complete ready for review” it said “Decision made” and then right below it said “Decision: Institutional Acceptance”.

  I don’t think I’ve ever screamed or cried so much in one moment. That was out of happiness and relief and everything, of course !

  And I don’t think that my week has ever improved so significantly in such a small amount of time.

  I’m just in total shock. I’m happy, but it’s crazy. I didn’t think I would get in….well I thought I had a good chance but you never know how things are sometimes. Even thought I got my physical letter yesterday…I still can’t believe it. I think it’ll only be real to me when I step foot on the campus as a student and move in.

  I’ve waited my whole life for this, and now it’s here.

  Thank God.

  I don’t think I’ve ever had this much school pride for a school I’ve gone to before .
