I received my acceptance letter...

I received my official acceptance letter in the mail yesterday. I need to send an email to the admissions liaison to clarify the requirements. The letter stated that I will have to receive a 3.25 on three courses at the end of my first semester. But, I will only be going part-time and taking two courses. Hmmm…

I think I received good news today...

Today an email popped up from the Office of Financial Aid telling me to check my award amount. I checked and it was a nice lil' peace of change waiting for me that I could use for the summer session...umm but I still haven't heard back from the admission's department. I also haven't gotten my GRE official test scores back, so that could be the hold up. I checked the GRE website to see if there was some way for me to see the scores online, but nope...no online score posting. However they had the nerve to have a "score by phone" option for $12. Umm, yeah...I can wait. According to the website I should receive my scores in 10-15 days via mail from New Jersey. Today is day 11. At any rate, that got my hopes up a little bit today.

I should clarify...

I should clarify that I am not yet a grad student. I fully intended to go to law school this fall, but it didn’t seem realistic in terms of me relocating, finding a job in a new city, finding a place to get a haircut, etc. So, I got a job here in Tallahassee that wanted a long-term commitment (a Godsend considering the job market), and since I don’t like sitting idle when I’m not working (and happen to have a lot of free time since I’m single, with no kids or pets), I decided to pursue a Master’s degree while here in the city.

The art of communication has long interested me and was briefly my major in undergrad before I changed it to English. I also happen to be a bit of a procrastinator; therefore I ended up fulfilling the oral requirement to graduate in my last semester. The communication course rekindled my love of communication and suggested another way I could indulge myself in words and language. I applied two weeks ago to the College of Communication and am waiting to hear back from the admissions committee.

I must say that if I get in it will be nothing short of the hand of God that I will have gotten accepted. I missed the application deadline by 12 days and my GRE scores were less than desirable. I submitted my application and took the GRE less than a week later (after the nice lady helping me with the application process made it clear that I was cutting it hella close). Now, I don’t like making excuses, but I’d spent most of my time preparing for the LSAT, not the GRE. So, say what you want…but the two tests are different! Now the effed up part of this is that I went to the mail box yesterday and guess what was there waiting on me all willy nilly…a freaking GRE prep computer disc with “time sensitive” stamped on it. You damn right, it WAS time sensitive. Now what am I going to use it for? A coaster?
