It took four months after the materials were submitted and six months after my audition, but I finally heard from that last Grad School, and...it was a no.

But on the other hand, the school didn't seem like the best one out there. I know better schools exist and I'm learning more advanced arias and songs now that my voice is getting bigger (like, I'm tackling Gilda and Norina's arias!) and I know the right school is out there for me. It sucks, but at least I don't have to settle. I should be sad...yet I'm not. It took so long, but I've made peace with the rejection and I feel free. I can look at better universities and more of them and learn these bigger, more complicated pieces and reapply and audition with "guns blazing!"

So yeah...I'm not as sad as I have been, and I feel like something better will pop up!

I've this bad habit of waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat with some idea about my thesis that I just have to write down right now.

Sometimes I email them to myself so I don't forget.

Then I have to decipher the utter nonsense I wrote, in the morning. Good luck, future me.

everyone around me is like “there’s no way you’re not getting into this grad school” and i’m here like “there’s no way i’m getting into this grad school”

So I got rejected from my first medical school yesterday and my dad posted that news in our family groupchat which includes cousins and distant relatives. And initially I was super embarrassed that they all found out, but I just checked the group chat and they all posted such sweet and encouraging messages and my heart is so happy

I just submitted my written qualifying exam! I just wrote 30 pages in seven-ish hours and spent the eighth hour editing and reorganizing. I think it went well (I feel much stronger in my responses to the questions I submitted, but that’s to be expected). It feels so nice to have this off of my plate. I get feedback one week from today and take the oral exam in two weeks (which is more of a defense of the written). Time to get queso and Coronas with Beth to celebrate!

Looking up grad school programs is frustrating, because they're all led by professors who you’ve either never heard of, read their work but don’t think it’s good, or read their work and it’s good, but everyone you know that’s met them says they’re really smart but a total asshole.

Regarding your grad stuff, i’d suggest you call and ask until you get an answer. Is the school outside if ND?

I applied to 5 schools in total only one of which is in ND.

Hello Beautiful People!

As many of you all know, I recently got accepted into the graduate program of my freaking dreams – a Clinical Psychology M.S. to Ph.D. program.
