Well, my 2nd seat deposit has been mailed into George Washington.  It hurts a little to know we'll be losing $1000 when/if Mason admits me, but I've come to terms with it.  I've also come to terms with the uncertainty.  Whatever is supposed to happen, will happen.  I'm moving forward with everything I need to get down to go to GW, and will continue ( Read more... )

 still don't know for sure about Mason, and I probably won't before GW's final deposit is due (in 2 days-eep!), but I sent Dean Price another e-mail today, and actually asked her for some guidelines on when I could expect an answer (with some excellent wording help from the lovely Adelle

So the reason I haven't been updating is that I'm trying to stay more positive about things, and not always have really downer entries.  But I've been not so happy recently, and didn't really feel like baring my depressed soul for all the world to see.  So this one is going to be half not happy, half...well, looking ahead to the future-I'm not sure ( Read more... )

I am so sick and tired of not knowing for sure where I'm going to law school.  At this point, I basically don't care what actually happens.  I want to get into Mason, but if that's not going to happen, I want to know now.  I'm super stressed, super tired, and I'm sick of it.  I'm also annoyed that I'm not really losing any weight right now-just ( Read more... )

Last night we had an Albion alumni event to celebrate President Mitchell's retirement.  And so we were chatting, as he does, and he was asking about what we were doing, and I of course mentioned law school, and then mentioned the whole waiting on George Mason to accept me off the waiting list.  Immediately, he says, "E-mail me the Dean's contact ( Read more... )

Today I ran farther than I ever have before-14 miles!!!  Granted, I still have a ways to go before 26.2, but I'm more than halfway there.  I feel as if this has totally vindicated everyone (especially my parents) who were...I guess distressed is the best word...about my tackling the entire marathon instead of the half.  The funny thing is that I ( Read more... )

This had BETTER be my last sick for a LONG TIME.  I went into the dentist today for a number of things: to get my chipped tooth repaired (I chipped it when I fainted after having a mole removed-this is relevant), and to get fillings for a couple of cavities-my first ever-boo.  So I'm nervous about the Novacain, or whatever they use to numb ( Read more... )

So Ben's literally halfway around the world right now, and even though we've been apart before (obviously), I'm having a really hard time with this.  For one thing, he's halfway around the world, not 4 1/2 hours away like he was when we were in college.  For another, while we've been e-mailing, we won't be able to talk at all until he gets home, ( Read more... )

I keep trying to stay positive, but I'm finding it very difficult these days.  I don't do this waiting game very well.  Even though I know that I can still potentially get into Mason, it's very difficult to start thinking about my Plan B without knowing for sure that that's what I'll ultimately end up doing.  It makes things very messy.  I do, ( Read more... )

I found out last night I was waitlisted at George Mason.
