The Life Of A Grad School Applicant

I had only one thought,

when I woke up today,

'Will the letter come?

and what will it say?"

As I walked to the kitchen,

I heard my roomate say,

"has any good news,

come your way?"

I answered "no",

with a heavy heart,

and got ready for another,

long day to start.

In my frist class, phonolgy,

I tried my very best,

but worrying about grad school,

just won't give my mind a rest.

After class my teacher,

who wrote me many a reference letter,

told me to just relax and belive,

that my life would get better.

Next, I went to the library,

thought I'd do some research there,

but all I really did was worry,

this waiting just isn't fair.

My worrying was interupted by,

a call from my boyfriend,

who told me what ever happend,

he'd still be there in the end.

After a while I couldn't take it,

so I won't home to run,

releasing my stress on the pavement,

was acutally kind of fun.

The moment I returned,

my parents gave me a call,

to ask if I heard good news,

as I said 'no' my hopes continued to fall.

My mom's next question was,

"Well when will you know?,"

As I said "I don't know,"

my frusteration was starting to show.

I hung up the phone,

and tried to do some homework,

it took all the energy I had just,

to read my text book.

I check my e-mail probably,

fifty times a day,

I really hate this uncertainty,

running my life this way.

A little latter at my boyfriends,

my stress level made me cry,

and I honestly cannot,

even explain why.

He made me feel a whole lot better,

and after a while,

I relaxed a litte,

and acutally had a smile.

Finally I went to bed, despert for sleep,

but worrying stood in my way,

I rested as much as I could,

before the next stressful day.

Don't worry. As far as I'm concerned, they initially offer admission to Americans, then to international students.
