Steps Back and Forward
The day before Thanksgiving I had to take a step back in my plans. That was the day I received my letter stating that I was not accepted to American University for January 2011. While I knew that my odds were 50/50 at the best, it was still a big disappointment for me, since I’ve been itching for a general change in my life for several months now. I’ll admit that I cried a few times after I got the news. The short, cold, dark days of winter make me a bit more susceptible to my more negative emotions. It’s been about four weeks since I got that news now. I’ve been figuring out what I want to do.
Decisions
Well, I’ve thought things over and have decided to go after Spring 2011 admission at a few more schools. I can apply to a total of 4 more schools in the Spring semester in addition to American University – NYU, Rutgers U., Seton Hall, and City College of NY. The rest of them will remain on my Fall 2011 target list.
