Accepted to Grad School

Well...I finally heard back from Texas Tech concerning my graduate school application and I've been accepted!! For those of you who don't know, my program is Language Literacy Education, which basically deals with language development through literacy and reading. It was sort of a ridiculous couple of months trying to get my application reviewed before everyone took off for the holidays. Between my transcripts getting lost in the mail, one of the people writing my letter of recommendation forgetting to send it three times, and the graduate school changing their entire computer system and somehow locking my application within the depths of their old computer system for over a month, I finally got the wonderful people in my department to review my application.

It's still not for sure that I will be going this semester. Classes start on Wednesday and I have yet to register due to the holidays. But it's nice to know that I'm accepted and I can start anytime I'm ready. The whole process has been really long and strenuous for me. I thought doing the application alone might kill me. When I began filling out the application I wasn't even sure I would be ready to go come Spring (as I was still in pretty bad shape from the miscarriage) but I'm grateful that Tyler helped push me through it so that I would have the option. The holidays have been rough and I finally feel like I'm ready to take on something like this again.
