The Unsurprising and Inevitable Conclusion

I didn't get into NBSS.

I'm both more and less upset about this than I thought I'd be.

Ah well, next year!

Now, to the job hunting!!

I'm disappointed for you. I thought they would take you. But I must admit I am happy for me that you may be here another year. :)

Well, it's a mixed bag - it means I'll either be leaving Bloomington much sooner than expected, as I start job hunting immediately and will move to a position that I find as soon as I find it - or it means that I'll be in Bloomington another year, because if I don't find a job by September 1st, I'll stay here until next summer. The reason for this is simple: I'll reapply to NBSS next spring, and if I get in then (which is much more likely, since I'll have another year of experience under my belt, and I intend to spend a fair amount of time in that year taking workshops and such to get better) then I'll be starting on September 1st of 2008, and I won't take a job where I'll be for less than a year. Makes sense. But if I get a job that starts, say, the beginning of June, I'll be gone by then.

I'm a little frightened by this. :)

Yeah, it's a lot! One day at a time and allow yourself the freak out. :)
