I got in, I got in, I got in!!!!!!! I can't believe it. I had totally given up hope.
The only catch is that I'm not going to get housing. They made an extra spot for me in the Corps, but there is no more space in the volunteer house. That's a bummer, but hopefully I'll still be able to move out of parent's house. I'd looooooooove to get a studio and live by myself. I'm sick of roommates. Hopefully something will work out.
The good news is that I got my first choice for agencies to work for - I'm going to be working at the rape crisis center. I'm psyched. (To clarify: Right now I volunteer for them, but because of the Volunteer Corps, I'll be able to work for them full-time in the continuing education department.) The job doesn't start until September, but it will be for a full year. (Yay for job security!) Then hopefully I'll be off to grad school!
I keep vacillating between being excited and being totally overwhelmed and anxious.
I hope I can handle this....
