Two days ago T and I were going to attend graduate school in Minnesota. I was going to work with the speech team as a Graduate Assistant, getting my school paid for and a stipend for living expenses. Yesterday threw me a curveball.

I received an email from the university telling me that I may not be receiving an assistantship after all. Without this assistantship, I cannot afford to go to graduate school in Minnesota. T is quite upset at the situation because it kind of puts a kink in our plans. It gets a bit more complicated.

A little while later, I received an email from a [very good] school in Ohio telling me that I am accepted to their graduate program and I have an assistantship, and a very good assistantship at that. The only problem is that it would mean spending two years in Ohio and T spending two years in Minnesota. She’s not happy about this situation. I’m feeling conflicted because I’m really excited about getting accepted to such a prestigious school, but I’m upset that our plans aren’t working out. I’m frustrated.

Thank goodness it’s Friday. I need a couple days off. Especially since Tweedle Dee is really getting on my nerves this week.
