Rejection...

[chequita guevara]

If it's your first year in school, you may be be able to get away with appling for financial aid late. I did my first year and I got full Federal and state grants. You won't get suplimentary grants, but those two should be enough to get you into a good state school, on top of any loans you will be eligible for.

Get some money together and take a year off to travel around the world!

Do it now - once you have study commitments or family its too late.

Damn, i wish! That is exactly what i would love to do... but im afraid one year off from college might turn into never going to college.
Id be sure and see you, and bum at that mansion of yours W ecould then spend our evenings arguing over Iraq.

sorry though. good luck on finding something that works

same to you

PS. please pray for me the next 2 months that I'll get in I need all the luck in the world.

Im not a praying man, but for you Pekka, anything ...Well... not anything ... but almost

i'm there..cept i'm leaving college and can't get into grad school (despite honors and high grades)..can't get any writing jobs to even LOOK at a my resume...so...i think i'll just go crawl off in a corner and cry.....

yup... this is the place to sulk... nothin like a good dark corner...

as others have said, take some time and look at things carefully. good luck in whatever you do decide on

Thank you. I shall definately think about it, adn some things are starting to look better already.

Yeah, im going to look into this immediately. Ive already started looking into some scholarship applications, they'll be some work, but its worth a shot

Thank you everyone for your ideas and support, i very much appreciate it. Ive been looking into things, and it might not be too bad after all. Some good things will definately come of this, i just do not know what exactly...
becasue of this, my feelings have turned from apprehension and anxiety (and a little bit of failure and depression), to almost of an excitement or thrill. Ill let you guys know ho0w things turn out over the months and years to come (as im quite certain i wil be a permanent fixture of OT for now on... it seems to be the only constant in my life right now )

please feel free to continue to post similar problems from the past, present, or future, or any other help one might be able to give

Thanks again

Krammerman, im sorry to hear about this whole debacle...ive gone through a little bit of the same, although all rejection was my own fault, not that of a board that reviews everything.

3 years ago after i dropped out of high school, i thought i was going to spend the rest of my life living at home and working ****ty jobs. i was depressed about that prospect and for the next year and a half about i crawled into a little hole of fulltime work and sleep after 2 semesters at community college. after working for about 6 months fulltime at round table pizza i realized that school was neccesary to success.

i went back and did alright but i was kind of pissed that i had to do so much for so little of what i wanted to do in school. I basicly was working towards and Associate of the Arts for electronic music, but only taking 6 classes relating specificly to audio production. i was demotivated by the idea that the next 2 years of my life was going to be spent living at home, working somewhat towards what i wanted.

well i quit JC and worked at UPS for about 9 months loading packages in trucks...hard honest work where i met a lot of people like me, at a crossroads in life. I basicly saw that hard work is the key to success and knowing the right people and how to work with them will help immensily. i also found out how to budget my life according to what i want.

about january i found out my dad was moving to seattle, and that i wouldnt be having a place to stay down here, so i figured hell, ill apply to the art institute (with the suggestion from my mom). i got in despite my past (although they arent really that hard to get into).

now starting july im going to a great school, living with like minded people, and getting started on my life as an adult.

so my advice is, dont let anything set you back, turn it around into something good. sometimes you wind up somewhere else and great after everything was lost.

AH, you live in a tree?!?
