D'oh.

It happened again. I was denied admission into grad school. I received the letter yesterday, waited for Katie to get home so I could open it and boom....history repeats itself. The letter gave the same reasons as the last on. Nothing specific to my application, just general guidelines that I suppose I'll have to follow up with to see exactly why I was denied.

I'm very surprised, considering I did much better on my GRE. My letter of intent couldn't compare to my first one, so I thought. I got an A in a graduate-level course, had good letters of recommendation, have relevant work experience and all of that. I just don't know. Either way, I'll have to find out the reasons or try something else.

Who knows. Maybe I'll be a Health Fitness Specialist and not worry about community health. My current job is going well so far. I've sought public and community health jobs so I can gain knowledge of the field, and it's one where I've wanted to pursue further academically. I could apply to different schools, I guess. I have options. I'm not going to act on them right now, though. Not until I find out why I wasn't admitted. It really does suck.

Luckily I saw Down and Above play a phenomenal, grade-A+ show at the Fine Line last night for their CD release. I listened to it once today, and it's so, so, so very good. And it'll just get better with each listen. Currently I'm listening to 'The Earth Is Not A Cold, Dead Place' from Explosions In The Sky as I type this entry. It soothes me. Perhaps I'll bike around today, as it is warmer compared to weeks, or months, past. Or just sit and play video games for a while like I've been doing recently. Or listen to various comedians that I find to be hilarious, or watch something hilarious. Or write. Dunno. Either way, I'll be OK. Just gotta accept it for now, not dwell too much, and keep going strong. I've come a long way and I don't plan to back down.
