Last week I got rejected by UW...today I got a rejection letter from Texas...being rejected sucks, but instead of dwelling on this I'm counting my blessings.
My life is wonderful and no letters can change that. My family is wonderful and supportive, I have a wonderful and supportive boyfriend who I love very much, I love Madison and am thoroughly enjoying the winter despite my Florida roots, I have wonderful friends all over the place who love and support me. My coworkers at Tandem are mad I didn't get in which makes me feel good.
I still have 3 more schools to hear from...I'll keep you updated.
Also...I shouldn't feel too disheartened about my rejections because these are the odds I'm up against...
at UW they had 260 applications for 30 spots.
at UT they had 254 applications for 10 spots.
The competition is stiff out there!

Nuts. I'm sorry to hear that. If it's any consolation, though, I have had nothing but rejection myself since graduating ... yet I still retain the worldview you just espoused as well, namely: all in all, my life is still pretty damn great.
As for the ice upheavals, that is crazy. The physics is perfectly understandable -- you'd just have to be crazy to walk out there (although that's probably just me and my fear of swimming in natural bodies of water speaking).
Ooh an update! No pictures, but I'll take it.
And UW was really stupid not to take you, but I might be slightly biased.
It's okay though, you can just come back to Gainesville. Right?...Right? Mark can come, too! And then I'll be able to volunteer in his classroom.
This seems like a win, win to me.
wow those are really crazy odds, holy smokes. oh well, UW still is on my bad side. even though i'm a firm believer that what's best is what will happen...so we just have to have faith that the rejection is a good thing in disguise and what you're meant to do is still on it's way to you. we shall see...til then i am mad at UW.
anyway, i'm glad to see how great an attitude you have evie! you are awesome!
