I am a second time applicant who has just received their first rejection letter of the 2012 application session. Plain and simple, I'm drained, irritated, and hungry. I am currently awaiting to hear from school numero dos; I'm hopeful,but I don't have my heart set on anything.
Plan B: After copious amounts of stress eating and online shopping, I have decided to jump ship from speech pathology to occupational therapy. I am enrolled in the OT prerequisites at a local university, have set up some volunteer hours with the OT at work (I work in Special Ed. classrooms), and have sent in applications for a second/higher paying job.
Self-pity gets reallllllllllllllllly boring after a while. On to the next one, on to the next one!
