This Is It.

Well, I'll give you one good hint as to where I'm going for grad school.

Yep you guessed it. The University of Texas at Arlington. I'm glad the wait, the anxiety, and the stress are now over. Oh wait, if I had that much stress and anxiety just applying to grad school, how will I ever make it through?!?! I have an idea for that little problem. I got a personalize SORRY WE DON'T THINK YOU'RE GOOD ENOUGH FOR US letter from each of the additional schools I applied for. Yes, I know, even UNT gave me the boot, I was just as surprised as you are. In fact probably more. I mean come on it's my Alma Mater, HOW!? Easy, I just wasn't good enough for them this time around.

But my plan of attack for UTA and to hopefully keep the stress and anxiety to a minimum is I am framing each rejection letter I received along with my UNT BA Diploma and hanging them above my study desk. I'm not quite sure how it will deplete my stress and anxiety in fact, I'll bet it'll probably raise it more, but it's the perfect motivation tactic.

Because I was accepted to UTA under certain provisions, that's already motivation enough to get a B, but having that rejection letter from my Alma Mater in front of my face every waking moment, OH that's going to give me that extra motivational push to get that 4.0 GPA- so when I walk that stage with those pretty decorative ropes and white collar around my neck telling the world I graduated Summa Cum Laude and this time really MASTERED the art of the English Language I will give UNT, CSU and KSU a big middle finger!

No, I'm kidding, not UNT. I would never disrespect UNT. It's where I plan to go for my PhD and to teach there along side some of my former professors. Those who taught me everything I needed to learn as an undergraduate but then obviously some how the knowledge managed to slip in one ear and out the other otherwise I'd of been accepted back to UNT.

In any case, I will continue my academic studies at The University of Texas at Arlington (Where I hope to God they accept American Sign Language as a foreign language).

I begin school the end of August. I only have a few more months left to play and do everything I ever wanted to do while I didn't have to worry about making insurance payments, car payments, rent, grocery bills, future children I may or may not have, etc. I plan to take full advantage of these final months. But unfortunately, I think it's almost time I find a job that offers benefits and a little higher pay rate so I'll be able to sustain my life and school without leaving UTA with a pile of unwanted student loans to pay off.
