well...scratch that

I found out a few days ago that I didn't get into grad school here at ETSU like I was trying to do. I started applying in June and came across a lot of obstacles along the way. Whether it was an unsent transcript here or an un received email there, it was frustrating.
But then I got a call from my mom. And she said, There's a letter from ETSU here, can I open It?. After reviewing your application, the Graduate Committee has decided that it is best to not admit you into the PCOM program. blah blah blah limited positions available blah blah blah but not one for you man. Good Luck and Piss Off. (i want the $35 app fee back)
So no ETSU for me. But I'm not too upset. My 'plans' were to possibly go to seminary after my masters anyways, so now I can jump on the fast track to that. And after some research, it's actually cheaper than grad school would have been. Plus I can go to any one I want because they don't have in and out of state tuition. So I'm excited about that. But I didn't want to have to say goodbye to the ETSU folks that I've grown to love so soon. I was expecting to at least spend a couple of years with them. But I'm good at adapting to new places and people.

  1. Glad you're handling it well Chris. I would be incredibly frustrated as well. You'll always have your ETSU friends, too. Have you given thoughts on which seminary you want to go to?
