Graduate School Letters

It's finally that time of year! No, it's not graduation yet, or even summer, but it is the season for graduate school decision letters! I have painfully (and patiently) waited for mid-March to come around since my graduate school decision letters have started trickling in through snail-mail. All of my graduate school applications were due between December 1 and the end of January; as you can imagine waiting 3-4 months is a long time to find out if one is accepted into a particular school! For me, I openly admit that I have A.D.D since I need to know my plans months in advance, especially for something that is so life-altering.

Just as a recap, I applied to the following schools:
  • University of Baltimore - Interactive Design and Information Architecture
  • Johns Hopkins University - Communications with a Digital Communications concentration
  • MIT - Media Lab
  • NYU - Tisch School of the Arts, Interactive Telecommunications
The first decision letter I received was from UB - I got accepted!!

Stay tuned in for future updates! Wish me luck!

Gearing Up For Graduation!

I know I have stated this many times in my previous blog posts, but I need to say it again - TIME IS FLYING BY! Not only are there only 6 school days until spring break, but seniors, such as myself, only have 38 days until we conclude our final spring semester classes and graduation occurs on Saturday, May 21!

This semester has been really fun thus far, but it proves to be a lot of work when one is gearing up for graduation and is finalizing graduate school plans. Actually, I ended up applying to 4 graduate schools and have only heard from University of Baltimore at this point. This waiting game is beginning to be a pain in the arse!

So, what activities do I have planned for the rest of the semester? A whole bunch of things! Here's a quick list to get an idea.
  • Columns newspaper distribution for April and May. The March issue will be out tomorrow!
  • Movie night this Friday evening at 9 p.m - The Blind Side with Sandra Bullock
  • Senior Seminar final project
  • Student Research Day on Friday, April 23
  • Morrissy Honors White Wine Tasting
  • Morrissy Honors Chocolate Tasting
The seniors are definitely busy girls; I am trying to fit as many activities in this semester before I graduate and continue onto graduate school.

More posts to come!
