September...

Some of you may know that I've had wonderfully theoretical plans to go to grad school in the fall once I'm back home. Some of you also may know that I had a horridly frustrating time trying to do scholarship applications, which just didn't work out at all, and then the university applications, involveing every possible difficulty with internet, printers, faxing, not knowing what to write for statements of purpose, forgeting something and needing to bus back home to get it, computer crashes, etc. Mensch was I frustrated! And because of how poorly it was going, it was mostly all stress and discouragement. But in the end the applications to McMaster and Queens both got done, and were received, leaving me relieved and ushering in the months of waiting for responses from the univeristies... waiting that lasted 3 weeks for McMaster and 5 weeks for Queens. I got into both. I almost couldn't believe that this was what I was reading on the acceptance emails. So, after so much frustration, there is finally a good outcome. :) Bwana asifiwe! And both offer a T.A. position and a bit of a scholarship! So now I get to choose where to go- Hamilton or Kingston, and I'm leaning toward Hamilton. So that is my news from this week- hopefully a little more exciting and nice than last week's entry! :) hahah... Anyways, I feel the need to repeat Bwana asifiwe, and that's about it for today.
