Sigh....

Good news and bad news.

Bad news first, because it's what has been weighing on my mind since this morning. People who interviewed around the time I did have gotten acceptances. I haven't. I mean...I'm not sure what I was thinking, how I could have possibly thought that I would get accepted outright. I haven't heard from GW yet, but I'm pretty sure that that means I've been waitlisted, and my heart is broken. In the past, the trend was an e-mail and then a packet in the mail for accepted students. Waitlisted students didn't hear anything until they got that letter in the mail.

So many people were rooting for me, and I appreciate it so much, but at the same time it makes it hurt more that this didn't pan out. This waitlisting means that so much in my life can't happen. So much hinged on this letter. And this is best possible scenario! I could possibly be rejected.

My heart is seriously broken. This hurts so much more than last year.

On the other hand, I have another interview at Temple. It's at the end of the month, and on top of the stress of being waitlisted at this school, I have to worry about this interview. I'm trying to be positive, but some days, it just doesn't pay to get up.
