I am trying to see things like Cyle keeps telling me I should, but my wounded pride will not let me get to that point just yet!
So here is my short but sad story.
I have walked to my mailbox everyday for the last week with a little bit of nervousness knowing I was going to hear back from the nursing school I applied to. As I walked to the mailbox this morning, in my pjs due to the last 4 night working, and started pulling the mail out. I was a little relieved to not see it...then I double checked the box. Low and behold on the bottom was a letter...not the big one that one would expect from good news. It was the small, but oh so significant, rejection letter.
Now this would be bad because really it is bad timing. I will be having a child at the same time school would be starting, but the things that have wounded my pride are:
1. I HAVE A BS (and would only need to take the nursing classes)
2. The school is a COMMUNITY COLLEGE housed in 3 small buildings. (hello, don't they realize I went to a pretty well-known university?)
So why am I not surprised?
1. my grades sucked at BYU
2. my TEAS score was not as high as I would have liked it to be
3. why should anything that would monetarily, in the long run, make things easier for my family come to pass?
So there is my self-pity and embarrassment for the day. I will be over it in a couple hours.
Question now is: Do I reapply or do I try for something different? I would really hate to have all that I have gone through in the last 2 years be for nothing...but come on! I don't know how much rejection I can take!
Okay that is all.

that stinks, so sorry to hear that after all your hard work. i say stick with it and try again. you'd be a great nurse and it's something you've really wanted to do for a long time.
and did you casually mention you are prego in there or was i reading it wrong?!? congrats if so...and details please!!
Did I know you were pregnant? I don't think I did....well, congratulations to that part of the story!! But I am so sorry to hear about nursing school...I think you shouldn't give up, especially since you've been working toward this for quite a long time. Can you retake a test or something to help out your chances when you reapply? I also hate rejection--you never get used to it even if a number of boys all dump you right in a row. Not like I would know about that or anything.... :) I'd love to know what you decide to do! And good luck!
Keep at it Jamie!! It took me a year and a half just to get into the VC program. If it's something you really want to do then I say don't give up on it. Maybe it is the best thing since there is a baby on the way!(?) How exciting!! I think all things do happen for a reason. Good luck and Congrats on the pregnancy!! :)
Just found out we are having a boy the first week of september! I am excited!
