I got accepted into the program I've been trying to get into! I'M SO HAPPY. It was up in the air for so long that I started to get really stressed out about it but it worked out in the end. I'll be taking summer classes each year so I can get further ahead in the program, open up elective spaces, then get my certificate in Japanese on the side. There were so many things working against me in getting into this program, but I fought for it, and I got it. I'm damned pleased.
