The insanity of the last few weeks is almost impossible to convey, and while I would prefer to tell everyone such momentous news in a more personal way, this is much easier.
First I thought I was moving to Colorado with my parents. I would have lost/transferred jobs.
A few days after that I was accepted to the Urban Planning dept at the U of A for Grad school. So I effectively lost a place to live, but get to keep my job part-time.
Three days ago I moved into my own apartment. In less than a week, I start classes. In a little more than that, my parents leave the state and my sister goes to Flagstaff for her Junior year of college.
I have a sunburn from spending most of Monday walking back and forth across campus trying to get my residency, financial aid, and schedule sorted out. At times like these, a plunging neckline is not your friend.
Since I left school in December, I've been seriously afraid that I would not accomplish much in my life...I did not expect to be accepted at Grad school. I kept wondering what the hell had happened to me between high school and college graduation. To be honest, I had lost the faith in a lot more ways than I care to admit.
To all of those who kept the faith for me, you have my eternal love and gratitude.
