Why? She says that I don’t write the important stuff on my blog until about a week after it happens. Friday, Utah State emailed me and let me know that they have accepted me into their graduate program. Yeah for me! For those of you keeping track, that means two if the three schools I applied to have accepted me so far (Oklahoma State and Utah State). I’m still waiting to hear from BYU. They must be on Mormon Standard Time or something.

The scary thing is that Utah State mentioned letting them know by March 4th! That’s Tuesday! The way the email sounded was that if I know for sure then I should tell them so they can start looking at scholarships, but I need to call them and ask. It kind of freaked me out!

Now I guess I can put my house up for s ale. I was waiting until March 15th, or until I had two acceptance letters (hard to explain the logic there on a blog). However, now I have to choose where I want to go. That may sound simple, but believe you me it’s not! I’m about to pull a Rory Gilmore (I blame Catherine for that fact that I can use that line) and do a pros and cons list. What will I ever do if BYU accepts me as well! There are so many things each of the schools offer, it makes the decision really hard for me. Maybe Monday I’ll write the pros and cons list.

It’s rather exciting, or at least I’m releaved to be done. I’ve been rather worried that after telling all of my family and close friends that I am planning to go back to school, I wasn’t going to get my applications done and turned in on time. Now I have everything done, and I can actually relax. I’m still nervous and want to know immediately which schools are going to accept me, but I think I can live with that. Wish me luck!
