(no subject)
My last term at Furman is oficially underway. I am being a huge slacker and only taking one class plus internship. I don't even have my textbook yet...oops....
I have been rejected from UT and Winthrop grad schools for school psychology. Winthrop was a slap in the face because I had tremendous confidence that I would get in. UT I was pretty sure I would not get in so that wasn't a huge let down. The last 2 are Tufts and GA State. I would go to either one. GA State is my top because of the amazing research program I want to be doing with the chimp house. Tufts would be awesome because I could totally start my life again in a completely new but kickass city (listen to the song Boston by Augustana).
I was pretty depressed and scared about the future for a while. Especially since I am 2 for 2 on rejections. However, I am pretty excited now. I am kinda thrilled at the idea of having an entire world in front of me and all the options out there if I don't get into grad school. Who knows....Peace Corps, Au Pair in another country, or just getting some sort of superficial job in a big city and living with friends. The possibilities are endless and I may no longer have to go to school for a year!
I went on a cruise over spring break which was exactly what I needed to jump start my way back into this last term. I found out I have some amazing friends that truly care about me, boosted my confidence a bit, and realy felt like I had a place to come home to after break. I hadn't felt that all year. I love the many groups of people I have been hanging out with and getting to know more lately. I love it how I always have someone who I can just pick up the phone and call to come do crazy stuff with me, have a meal, or just go for a walk. I have rediscovered a part of myself that I had lost for a while and it feels great. Nothing is going to make this last term suck as badly as the other 2 terms did.
My high school ex boyfriend also reestablished contact the other day because he was at Furman doing some stuff for the school he teaches at. It was really good to catch up on life and kinda get that friendship back. We have both grown a lot over the past 3 years and its good to know I have someone else I can hang out with when I go home. I'm just enjoying people and life in general.
Hopefully this entry did not curse my upward streak. I truly feel like things are finally starting to go up for me. I credit it to my new outlook on life and the amazing friends who have supported me for the past few weeks and shown me how to love myself again. (As cheesy as that sounds)
