I'm not even in grad school yet and it's already threatening to kill me.
So I got the official letter from New School today. Yay! Whee! I was such a good girl, friendykins. I picked up the envelope before I went to the coffee shop where my women studies class meets. I was so good, I didn't open it up while I was walking, for fear of the wind carrying away some important bit of paper.
The bad news is...
1) They only gave me $4,500. Now, I'm not totally freaking out because this is just the department. Financial aide hasn't received my FASFA yet. Hopefully they will see how broke both me and my parents are and be all awwww isn't she cute? She's broke and from Appalachia and maybe doesn't even have shoes! Let's give her money!
2) They want me to commit by March 16th. That's NEXT WEEK. I'm flipping my shit. Most of the other programs don't send out their letters until well after this date. I totally went nuts tonight and emailed them all about it. Hopefully they'll get back to me ASAP. If I don't hear back by mid afternoon tomorrow, I'm phoning my top three, other than New School of course (Univ. of NC at Wilmington and Hollins Univ.)
I'M GOING BATTY.
