One More Week!

[bookaddict88]

A week from now, I will know whether or not I've been selected as a Teach for America corps member. I'm kind of freaking out...

It's weird how anxious I am about this.  It's not just that I think it would be a great program to be a part of. In fact, I'm actually a bit nervous about the program, because I'm not sure I'd be a good teacher.  Rather, I think the main reason that I really, really want to get into Teach for America is that an acceptance would mean that I would finally know what I'll be doing after I graduate.  For a long time, I've been anxious about my major, and what career I would take.  Right now, life after graduation is this big black space, that could be filled with anything. It's true that I do now have more of an idea of what I want to do, but nothing is definite.  Teach for America would give me a definite plan for the next two years, and could possibly set me on a path that I'll keep following even after my official commitment is up.  So these three weeks between my final interview and my acceptance notification are passing by SO slowly...

In other news, I'm right on track for NaRoWriMo!

I hope you get accepted! They'd be crazy not to pick you, and it would be their loss anyway.

Thanks! :D

Thanks!

I'm sure you'll get it. I've known some people to make it in that I don't understand how they did so.

I hope you're right! Other people have said the same thing, but then, I also know people who didn't make it in that I thought definitely would.

Wow, good luck with NaRoWriMo! That is dedication. haha
I'm def. hoping that we get into TFA! I keep checking the site just in case they post anything earlier than they said. Nothing yet. Ahh!

Haha, it would be dedication if I weren't already behind on my wordcount. Although I'm hoping to catch up during the weekend.

And I keep checking the site, too! I know it's pointless to check before Tuesday, and even then they don't guarantee that they'll have the results before 8pm, but I can't help doing it anyway.

Yeah! I keep telling everyone I should know by 8PM tonight. lol Watch, it will be up even later than that. The anticipation is killing me!

I don't know what I'll do if it's later than that! I'm dying of nervousness and anticipation as it is. Thankfully, I have something to go to right before I find out, which will help keep my mind off of it at least somewhat. Right now, though, it's all I can think about!
