I got all excited this morning when the mail came, because there was a HUGE envelope from NC State. (Those of you who've talked to me recently know how fervently I've been waiting to hear something from State about graduate school.) So my heart rate went up and I thought that this could really be the moment I've waited over a month for. But sadly, it was a University Housing packet for my roommate Kristy, who just got accepted into the Veterinary School program over there. I was very very sad to see it was addressed to her, it really put a damper on my day's mood. And it wasn't like she needed that information anyway, she's living in a townhouse off campus in Raleigh! Boo on her for getting me all worked up over nothing.

I really hope I don't have to wait too much longer for news from State. I don't know how much waiting and stress I can take. Grad school is the one thing I'm waiting on so I can figure out how my life will play out for the next year, and quite possibly the year after that, too. If indeed they take two months before they'll get back to you about grad school, then my two months are almost up (I applied the first of March). Although they did tell me when I called last week that they currently had my application in hand and were reviewing it "as we speak." I hope the Curriculum & Instruction office assistant wasn't snowing me...
