This is so lame I have had this blog for almost a year and have never written on it. Yikes!!! I am way behind. I don't know if anyone feels the same way but whenever I start writing in a journal or on something like this, I feel I need to catch up on things I have not written about then I get really overwhelmed and stop writing. So I am just going to start with today. A week of spring break and you would think that first grade children would be out of control, not obeying rules and so forth but today the kiddos were so mellow. They were listening, following directions, doing everything they were supposed to. It was a perfect first day back to school to kick off the last 45 days of the school year.
I am sure many of you can relate to this but Aaron and I are in the time of life where you are waiting to see how your future is going to turn out. In this particular situation, we are waiting to see if he will get into graduate school for clinical psychology. He applied to seven places and has received four rejection letters, went to two interviews in Oklahoma and Idaho and in both places he has been wait listed and we have yet to hear from UNM.
Those of you who haven’t experienced opening an acceptance/rejection letter here’s how it goes. When you get the letter you are extremely nervous to open it because you want so badly to get in. Once you open the letter the first thing you do is look for the congratulations part because you are assuming that there is no possible way you would be rejected. Then you skim the letter a little more closely and it says something like, “after much consideration we are sorry but you were not chosen.” Oh the dreadful words “sorry” then your nervous stomach that was up to your throat drops way down and you feel mad, sad, discouraged and a little depressed L Sad to say Aaron and I have experienced this feeling several times and now what’s left is just to wait to hear from UNM and to see if someone turns down the opportunity to go to Idaho or Oklahoma that would allow us the chance to go. One thing we always keep in mind is, even though we don’t know what is happening in our lives, It Will All Work Out!!!!
