Dr. Nikolai
I'm in.
This afternoon, while teaching my kiddos how to add three digits vertically, I received an email from Indiana University informing me that I had been accepted to their Language Education program for Fall 2007.
All those hours spent on applications, collecting recommendation forms and writing essays... I didn't think I would actually be admitted to a program. And if I was, I would be admitted with conditions. Rather, I find myself admitted to my first choice school without question. I have an advisor and have been requested to kindly let them know when I'm arriving on campus.
I spent approximately thirteen minutes and forty-three seconds in a state of euphoria until I realized that I would need to begin making decisions: to stay and teach, to go and learn or to defer and do a combination of both.
The anxiety has set in as I wrestle with what I ultimately want for my life and what is comfortable.
