News!

IUD went in just fine. Definite pain during and a bit afterwards but here I am a week later and feeling back to normal completely. I'd say it was worth it.

But here's the real news! I got accepted into DePaul! And not only that but I received the top Dean's scholarship there for a total of $56,000, which is $14,000 per year for tuition. So, basically, that's nearly half tuition every year, leaving me with around $28,000 to come up with. But I'm confident in need-based aid to cover another part of that before loans come in.

I think Rochester has serious competition, because I'm falling in love with Chicago too. And speaking of who I signed my life away to, UofR sent out most of the early decision letters today, so I could hear by the end of the week. Well, really anywhere between 2-9 days from now. But still! Decision is coming, then financial aid notices for the whole picture.

I don't know what I'm more worried about: not being able to pay for it, the actual admission decision, or being able to pay. Crazy right? Guess I could always go to Chicago for graduate school, but it messes up future plans...who cares?!? I'm taking things one phase at a time.

Which brings me to TJ. After some fiasco while spending the holidays with him, we've decided to put a halt to the whole promise ring and definite future idea. I've never been a normal teen, and I'll never get that chance again. Maybe we're soulmates and will spend forever together and get married, but maybe we won't. Maybe we're just high school sweethearts and we haven't met "The One" yet. Or maybe we're each other's "One." I don't know. But we've talked a lot, and we have some fixing to do. Nothing's perfect. But it's falling into place.

Computer won't let me on Blogger so this is from my phone app, hence the general brevity of this post. There will be more admission updates as I hear back!
