Breaking News

It's unfortunate I have to deliver bad news. I received a letter last week from Concordia stating my application has been denied. Yes, I am disappointed but I have so many supportive people in my life that have only been building me up. It's nice to hear that so many people were sure I was going to get it, but I also feel like I let them down. I have had to accept their decision, but most of all I have become angry over their decision.

The four main things Concordia said in their letter was...
1. Thank you for applying
2. Your application has been denied
3. The competition was extremely high
4. Please apply again when your degree is final

What? When my degree is final? When I read that I was confused and slightly heated. For the past four years Concordia has been telling me to apply to the nursing program with or without a degree. They were encouraging me to apply to the program with my advantage of applying early. This was so I could get ahead of the game by apply before my degree in complete. Now they're telling me it's a make it or break kind of deal? I feel lied and manipulated to. It's really hard for my to praise Concordia after all I've put in here with nothing in return. They didn't have the decency to tell me I was not invited for an interview and my application was no longer being revised. I am outraged, as well as everyone else who was sure I was going to get in

With that rant, my emotions have been all over the place. Right now I have just been looking forward to graduating and receiving my degree in 3 weeks!

Thank you to everyone for all of the love and support! I know God's plan is right on course!

Sunny day on sunday

It was such a beautiful day yesterday that I couldn't resist being outside. I have been cooped up in my dorm room, constantly working on homework. I definitely needed a break, so I spend some relaxing time taking some senior pictures! My friend Kerri did me a huge favor and took some pictures for my graduation announcement. At first, I wasn't going to do the whole picture taking or grad announcements, but as graduation gets closer and closer I just couldn't help myself. I am way to excited.
