I was watching a show pretty late last night, and at about 12:30 I had a feeling to check my email to see if BYU had sent me any thing, and they did. As soon as I saw the email was from them I had a sinking feeling in my gut. I followed their instructions, went to the site, logged in, and I saw the word "Denied" before anything else. It's really weird, cause I wasn't shocked at all, just hurt, upset, confused. I figured, if I work really hard, and do everything within my power, Heavenly Father will help me get into Yale, and if that doesn't work, then that means I was meant to go to BYU. The truth is, after the whole drama with ACTs and Yale, I already knew I wasn't meant to go to BYU, my instincts told me "no". But I figured I would wait and see what happened. And I was not surprised by the results.
So the plan for now? After talking to a trusted friend and sorting things out, I've decided to check out Taiwan teaching English. I know, I was just there three years ago, but I feel like I might have some unfinished business there. Plus I miss it so bad and I haven't been able to experience it as a normal human being and not a missionary.
Don't worry I have a back-up plan for Taiwan too. I'm thinking maybe Washington. I'll keep you posted.
I am really sorry to hear that you did not get accepted. I know how much effort you put into the application processes. I have to admit that I have some mixed feelings. All I want for you is to be happy, however, I am feeling a little sad thinking of you moving to Taiwan. Of course, it would be a grand, exciting, adventure and I can totally see you doing it. You will do great things wherever you go!
