I AM A SPARTAN!!!

i was accepted!!!, originally uploaded by smiles-of-karli.

So yesterday, Monday I was talking to my dad about how much I cannot wait to see where I am going to be accepted! Of course, you can tell from my previous post that my apps are driving me crazy, and that's normal. And so I've been wondering if all of this is for nothing:

Am I going to get accepted to any of the schools I'm applying to?!?!?!

Yes, it did seem like a risk to think that applying to MSU, Cornell, UC Davis, UC Berkeley, and UConn only and not know my safety school. Hell, I know that Cornell is the place I want to be. After seeing the campus a month ago, it's the only place on my mind. I'm in love with the environment, the program, and the teachers! It's just amazing!

And so....I continue with yesterday: I was telling my dad how I was scared that I wouldn't get accepted to any school. He isn't one to be optimistic so he didn't say anything, but I did tell him that MSU promised to have my letter of response postmarked by the 5th of November. So I went to dance class, came home and talked to my mom, played on my computer, watched tv, and then was called downstairs. What for? "You got a letter from MSU," my mom said so high pitched in excitement. I ran down the stairs even though I thought that it would only be another weird letter telling me that I should apply, when I already did. So I didn't think of anything, but as I came down the stairs my mom was saying, "it's a big envelope!!! Read the front! Read the FRONT!!!!" I ripped it out of her hands without reading it and soon came to the letter above, which states that I have been accepted.

ACCEPTED. one of the greatest words that you can ever experience, and on that day, I needed to hear it. I bounced, I hugged, I teared a bit in my excitement, and what did I want to do? Run as far away as possible and find everyone to tell and kiss someone, to give hugs and be overwhelmed with happiness. It was the craziest adrenaline rushes I have ever had, in all seriousness. I was shaking and bouncing on beds while running and screaming.

I was going somewhere. Now I don't have to worry that I won't get into college because I HAVE!

Then again, I'm still waiting for Cornell, and if I get in, hands down, I am going. No doubt about it. And if I don't, I'll cry, whine, get a bit agrivated with the world, but I'll move on and try to apply as a transfer the next year. Hey, it's not the end of the world. It would make my dreams come true, and all of my hard work pay off in one letter. One acceptance into happiness to learn something at that special place. It would mean the world to me. But if I cannot go as a freshman, then it is a battle between all schools to find out where I will be.

California? Michigan? Connecticut? Maybe New York?

Oh and I got an email from Fordham, they extended their early action deadline for me until the 8th so, HELL! I'll APPLY!!! Why not?!?!!

Wish me luck in my endeavors into adulthood of schools and the life around me! I learn so much everyday because of it!
