After a lot of thought...

I've decided that graduate school might not be the right decision for me after all. I have contacted my school about deferring my enrollment for a couple of years. I haven't heard back yet.

I've had a very difficult couple of weeks debating this, and it just seems like it's what God is telling me to do. After all the problems I've had finding people to write me recommendation letters, I think maybe it isn't meant to be. (As a bonus, at least now I won't have to take the GRE.)

I'm too emotionally exhausted by this process to say anything else, so forgive me for being uncharacteristically terse.

Please don't waste your time trying to talk me out of this. I couldn't possibly.

Much love and many blessings,

~A~

Ooooh - Heidi is a smart one. Because honestly? If she's not calling your shots, then I'm stunned into silence.

Now, wait a minute... this post is dated March 31st - and I was thinking this better be an April Fool's Joke...

Did you just get this one up early, or is it backdated... ?

DShan said...

bah fuck totally didn't notice it's dated march 31st. so in the event this is true, i will say that i imagine it wasn't easy to make a decision like this, but go with your gut and you'll be fine.

To Heidi Renée - You totally nailed me. :)

To D - Thanks for your support. :)

To Jenn - Not gullible enough!

To Nilsa S. - Don't worry, she was right.

To R.E.H. - I backdated it. Otherwise, the APRIL 1 date would've been staring you in the face.

Angela said...

To dkdisch - Then it all evens out. :)

To nico - It's a lot easier to fall for it when it's not the day of, as you have no reason to doubt it.
