So Good News

Dear Christopher,

I am writing to inform you of the status of your application...the admissions committee and faculty were favorably impressed by your application and credentials, and invite you to join our program in Psychology beginning Fall 2008. Congratulations!

So now that it's actually here, I'm feeling hesitant about it. Is this really what I want? During the waiting period, I started thinking about other options should this one not work out. I've actually got some pretty good plan Bs. Or at least one. I think mostly where my feelings of apprehension stem from is just having to go outside of my comfort zone. Staying here in California and going to Claremont was definitely in the comfort zone. Continuing work with a steady paycheck at a good company is definitely in my comfort zone. And Southern California is definitely a comfortable place to be.

This is definitely a nice pot to be planted in, but maybe it's time to see how much I can grow outside of the pot. I'm not sure yet. I'm going to sit on it for a week or so before I give my answer. At the very least it's nice to have options. I'm very grateful for that.
