::Sigh:: Didn't Get in

Well girls, I didn't make it thru the first round of applications. I was devistated to say the least! I found out at my desk and work and when I told DH over GChat he immediately called me. When I got home I had a good cry about it.

But today is a new day and already things are looking up! I've decided I'm going to apply for Grad School for Fall 2011 @ Lesley University (In Cambridge, MA) and Wheelock College (Brookline, MA). Both have fantastic programs and I'm really excited to apply.

And, a new position just opened up at my job that I'm being seriously considered for. While the place I work at now is not where I want to end up, the position in question is a lot more challenging and interesting than my current job. I've already been asked by the supervisor that is hiring that position if I am going to apply and I told him I was! So I'll probably be interviewing with him next week. If that doesn't pan out the manager in my department says I'll have a good chance in getting into a new department they are going to create in the new year.

So, after a very disappointing night last night (which was solved by baking and consuming double chocolate chip peanut butter cookies) I've feeling a lot better about the future. Huzzah!

  • I am so sorry to hear that but I am so glad to hear about your job and that you are looking on the bright side of things Big Smile I always believe that everything happens for a reason so maybe something better is coming later on up the road, and of course eating baked goods always helps make things bettter lol.
