Dear Applicant,
We regret to inform you...
Yeah, that's about where I stopped reading too. :)
Okay, so grad school is a no-go. AGAIN. I really think I'm just not supposed to do that program. haha. Ahem. Dang it. Just ONCE I'd like to tell BYU NO instead of the other way around. * sigh * Oh well. At least they're paying my bills, right?
But I actually feel 100% good about it. Oddly enough, right? And no, I'm not making that up. I mean...I did stare at the rejection letter for a minute thinking, "Really, BYU? REALLY?" But then I got distracted by the fantastic view of Utah Lake from my balcony and decided I didn't give a flying leap about that dumb 'ol letter, and decided to go running because the sun was shining and it was warm and beautiful outside.
So I did. Because there's a whole lot more to happiness and life than a silly rejection letter could ever ruin. Plus...that opens up a lot of other doors. It closes some for now, sure, but...I'm getting pretty good at punching rejection in the face these days.
Then I remembered this video my friend Karisa sent me the other day. Perfection. On to the next goal(s). Plus...this means no homework in my near future. (excellent idea) Aaaaand: more freedom. I don't know about you, but I feel fine about that aspect!
And that's what we get for telling the blog world my goals: haha...I get to tell you when it doesn't work as well. :)
Whatevs. At least I know I'm not alone. It's oddly comforting.

You're my hero. I hate rejection-- but a new path will open and it will be BETTER. just like you said.
I think that maybe USU would LOOOOVE for you to come and work on graduate work. Just sayin. ;)
I'm moving in with you, ok? So.. just make room in that big bed of yours and in that big closet of yours. I'm a really clean person. Just sayin :)
At this point, I think you're crazy for even wanting to go to grad school. No homework is definitely the way to go. That being said, I'm going to go back to working on my paper now...
You are so great! And I love your positive outlook on life :) You will be fine; you're a rockstar! And whatever you do, you are great at! Love you!
Lame. And annoying. And lame. Maybe the universe is just trying to tell you to free up your schedule a bit so you can hang out with me... ?
confession: i got WAITLISTED at BYU-idaho for undergrad, and ended up at USU (best decision of my life, thank you very much).
and then i got into Columbia for grad school years later and i was like "in your face, BYUi".
you just never know where life will take you. and that's exciting.
i know something good is coming your way! maybe new york is calling your name? or DC? ;)
Awww DeeAura you really are my idol! I just love you and love your positive outlook on life. And NO homework?? Ummmm yeah. You poor poor girl, I feel so bad for you now. ;) haha! Love you darling! I know something bigger and better is headed your way! :)
Geez! I go away for a week (or so), and I missed a LOT of good DeeAura stuff! I love your blog for so very many reasons!
PS My mom thinks she has a student in her class next year called DeeAura! (Not sure of the spelling, but still...you are the ONLY DeeAura I've ever even heard of!) What the what?
