So my life's stress as of late has consisted of what my future holds for me. It was totally up in the air, based solely upon the decision of a few faculty at Pepperdine University. I thought I had a good shot of getting in, but I felt like I needed a backup plan. But nothing came to me! I couldn't think of anything else I wanted to do besides go to Pepperdine University for Marriage and Family Therapy. I suppose I could keep working at AtWork!. Afterall, how many businesses have an exclamation point in their name? It's gotta be special. That didn't sound very intruiging to me though, since my job satisfaction seems to be going downhill daily. I could move to California anyway, and get a social work job there. I'm not entirely sure how I would live though, since my job equivalent there pays less, and the cost of living is more. I'm not totally sure how they justify that one. The equivalent of my treatment home job paid the same ($10.00 an hour) which would be IMPOSSIBLE to live off of in LA because it was nearly impossible in SLC. No options, you see? And all I could do was sit around and wait for my acceptence or rejection letter. Two weeks ago today they told me they would let me know in 3-4 weeks. I've been counting down the weeks, and today I thought to myself "ok, only 1 or 2 more weeks. I can get through this without going gray." Turns out I didn't need to stress any longer. When I got home, perched nicely on the scantron box in the middle of the entry way was a large packet addressed to me from Pepperdine. I thought it could be a good sign. How much paper could they use up telling me they don't want me? But I was still nervous...I opened the packet and the first thing I saw was something about financial aid, so I thought "Dang it, they need to stop tricking me like this!!" also also a few profanities about how I already filled out my FAFSA, so stop bugging me. But then I saw the letter. They are excited to let me know I have been accepted to the Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy for spring semester 20081 (typo I'm guessing...or I have a LONG time to wait). YYYAAAAAAYYY!!!! I am seriously in shock that I'm going to graduate school!! All of my dreams are coming true!! Strange how my dreams revolve around going to school and not having a boyfriend or getting married like most girls....oh well. Why does that matter as long as I'm doing what I love? Now the trick is coming up with $50,000 for tuition....and then living expenses. Crap, I'm gonna be in debt forever! Oh well, at least I'll be happy. Post a comment in response: |
