Waiting .

After receiving the first reply from a graduate school, I now have gotten in the habit of hopefully seeing something in the mail when I come home. In fact, I got so antsy that I logged back into all the websites of the places I applied again trying to find information regarding when I would hear back from them. Unfortunately some aren't until late March! Poop. I guess it was a bit of an anomaly that I heard back so early from UCLA. Needless to say, I'm excited to see the results from other schools - naturally I'd be more accepted with an "accepted" letter on the front, but still finding out is cool.

Hearing a "yes" from a school got me just as giddy as I was when I got into undergraduate! I started watching Youtube videos and taking virtual tours and just seeing what there is to see. It's neat to think that I get the opportunity to start a new life in a new part of the country and just experiencing something different. The way I see it, the better I can expose myself to more parts of the world, the better I can make a decision of where I might want to end up.

But before I get all into that, I must be patient and wait until I hear back from the other places -- and in the meantime, I can focus on job applications for the summer.

Waiters & Non-waiters .

I've talked about the topic of virginity and waiting until marriage before. In my experience it seems that while the rest of the teenage/young adult population galavants off into the sunset with their sexual exploits, I am one of the few that has chosen to wait. It's just a personal decision, and that's what I want to do with my life. While it certainly is an unpopular decision, I know a few others who share the same sentiment (or at least did at one point). Thankfully, I've been strong enough to stay true to my decision, and everyone I've dated that I have told that decision about has welcomed it despite their own beliefs. Well I happened to stumble upon this site called WaitingTillMarriage.org, and it instantly makes you realize just how many people there are that are actually waiting.
