When I checked my email this evening I literally jumped up and down and was speechless. I had applied to U of T's Nursing school, and while I thought I would probably get in, I was wracked by the fear of rejection. I know that U of T's program is extremely competitive, and I knew my marks weren't that great; I mean yeah, they were B+/A-, but surely there would be people with higher marks. So I applied, and waited.
And waited.
And waited.
And when I heard from York, I thought that was great too! But my heart was still set on U of T. And I thought maybe I wouldn't hear from them at all.
But wow. I got in! Granted, it is conditional acceptance; I still have to maintain a B+ average for this term, but I think it's totally doable.
Do you have any idea what this means for me? I can:
- stop paying $$$ for rent
- stop living in questionable apartments
- still see my family often
- see my local friends often-ish (this is debatable; time would have to permit. Goodness knows that didn't happen too frequently in UW...)
- Have access to cable!
- Have access to good public transportation (or at least better than Grand River transit...)
- Have lots of fridge space for my produce <3
- stop obsessing over people ruining my cleanliness
- ... and so much more!
I've seriously picked up on my mom's cleaning habits. I am always wiping counters, vacuuming the floor, and sometimes it's a little eerie how much it bothers me when people leave dishes in the sink for extended periods of time.
I'm so excited to go home this weekend; since it is a long weekend, my cousin and I are leaving Waterloo tomorrow afternoon to go to the outlet mall in Mississauga and then head home. Calvin is going to come home and bring Hobbes! :) I love that silly cat like it's my baby.
You know what else I'm excited for? getting rid of all my crappy excuses for not exercising. THe weather is getting nicer, so I'm going to cut the crap and move it! I've made a whole schedule from Friday April 2 - August 28 for training for the Underwear Affair 2010. I'm so pumped for it!

CONGRATS ON U OF T!!
if you go this means we may possibly see each other, and who knows! start a raw food movement or something crazy haha.
I commented on my post but it's not showing up :(
I just wanted to say thanks for your comment, and my next purchase is going to be the same juicer you bought. Since I'm assuming you're happy with it :)
Have a great week!
