Disappointment Cakes? Relief Pie.
So, CSU Long Beach gave me a wait list, which isn't bad considering they have one of the 4 or 5 Human Factors program in California. That's fine, they can kick rocks. Between Harvard and USC I had a big decision. Having gone to both meet & greets, I have made the decision of where to go to school. The only people who know where I'm going is my fiance, my parents, and Liz: I have chosen the program at USC.
However, if Harvard offers me enough money to make it worth my while, I will go to Harvard. The odds of getting that kind of money are little. I'd essentially need to be given enough money to go to grad school again after Harvard.
I was ready to make disappointment cakes. I thought my dad was going to be heart broken and my mom utterly disappointed when I told them I didn;t want to go to Harvard. They were not. Actually, given all the scenarios I thought out and everything I took in to consideration (including Harvard's seemingly apparent segregation of ethnic minorities and Caucasians during orientation), my parents seemed almost relieved with my decision; which I could only assume is because a decision was made instead of the 2 weeks of limbo I've been in. This week I should receive Harvard's award letter, and I have till the first to let USC know if I'm going there.
I have already started scoping apartments. I'm so ready to move to DTLA!
