I am a master at getting my Master's

Last week I found out I got accepted to the UB advanced graduate program. This is what I wanted all along. I wanted UB over anything. I applied to the Brockport/Naz Collaborative (aka GRC) on the off chance I couldn't get in to UB for some reason. I never really wanted to go there but for some reason I wanted a fallback.

The funny thing is when I applied for undergraduate I only applied to Brockport, no where else. I knew I could get in and that's the only place I wanted to go. And I did get accepted no problem.

I really don't know what made me so unsure of my abilities for graduate school. I really don't know why I didn't just apply to UB and be done with it.

I found out today I got accepted in to Brockport though. It's pretty cool to say two schools want me and now I get to choose the one I want.

That being said, here's the letter that I wish I could hold in my hands but can only view via a scan:


May 17th is going to be here before I know it. And the following May, 2011 may be here even faster.

I'll have my Bachelor's in Sociology and in Social Work in 91 days.

It's crazy that in just over one year I'll have completed my schooling (well to the level that I want to take it for now) and will be a real adult in the working world. No longer will I be able to claim I'm a student. I mean, I'll always be a student because we never stop learning, but that will no longer be my full time job.

I'm a big kid now!
