The unplanned plan
So I found the letter from Delaware State on my brother's bed while being a good sister and giving him his laundry. I don't really know why it was there, probably from grabbing his mail along with mine. Anyway, I saw two envelopes and one was particularly hefty. Didn't take much to realize that perhaps I got in? Opened it up and, yes, I did get in. I don't know why I'm not more excited, as I should be really. i guess it's because I got rejected from the two school here and, being that it's June, I was certain that I wasn't going to get in at this point. Quite the optimist, I know. I showed my mother today, since I was gone for Friday and Saturday and her reaction was exactly what I expected. She doesn't want me to go away, I should stay at a school here, I need to go for a second BA/BS in something health science related. I knew she wouldn't have been...pleased but her reaction still disappointed me. Hell, even if we all scrapped our money together & I still couldn't go, I would like to think they would be proud enough that I applied and got in. Maybe I'm asking for too much. This isn't to say I'm not looking into other financial options but I don't know how well that will pan out since this is kind of on short notice.
This past week has been a turnaround week though, and not just because of that letter. I guess I finally pulled myself out of my rut and that was just a nice topping off. Also, my friend broke up with her boyfriend so I've been trying to be the good friend and be there as much as possible before she goes back home to Barbados for the remainder of the summer. I'm trying to get her preoccupied but these things usually sucks. Goodness knows she's been there when I've been on the ups and downs of things myself. In the meantime, there shall be hanging out at Union Square, shopping at Victoria's Secret for the semi-annual sale, and (hopefully) the beach on Thursday. I'm all for being a beach bum this summer so the more I can work on my tan the better. Contrary to popular belief, my people can get quite pale too. =P
