So I got an e-mail from SVA today.
They're scheduling admissions interviews.
I have a phone interview scheduled for next Tuesday morning.
HFS, you guys. HFS. I cannot contain my excitement right now. This kind of comes close:
And I mean...like...I know it's just an interview and not an acceptance letter. Like, I know this. But STILL! It's amazing! It's great! It's fucking sweet! I just hope I don't screw it up. And like...last night I had one more loan go into deferment. The only one I haven't heard about yet is the B On Time loan (it's seriously written like that; the THECB is weird that way, I guess, or they want to be "hip"), but right now I really feel like I can finally start saving money for my future. I'm willing to make the sacrifices I need to make if it means getting where I want to be.
This couldn't have come at a better time. Yesterday morning I was starting to feel mentally overwhelmed about my financial situation... I think I'm gonna call my aunt. She's been through the grad/medical school grind before. She knows where I want to go and that I'm very serious about what I want to do. And I'm sure she'll be really happy to hear about this update, too, so that's even more reason to call her!
ETA: Told my mom about the upcoming interview, and she seemed...less enthused? I mean, I know I'm easily excited and I'm sure she's still thinking about financial woes (and lately she's been having elbow pain from an irritated nerve), but it was just kind of like... I dunno. It felt kinda lukewarm. :\ Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
