Barnard has officially rejected me! THANK GOD. I was waiting for that…I’m so glad because I didn’t want to be indecisive any longer. Great school, but not the school for me. However, I’m still looking at Columbia for graduate school.

On the financial aid front, it’s getting better…some family members are FINALLY offering to help me out, and I probably will have to take out another loan but that’s okay. It’s a slow process, but in truth the only place you can go is up! And that’s where I’m going! I don’t think I’ll be fully relieved until the bill is paid and my flight is booked, but other than that, I’m a LOT LESS stressed than I was last week.
