So the cat has been slipping out of the bag, but I'm officially letting it out of the bag today, since I have the official letter right here on my desk and I finally know that the email I got was not a hoax and I have not been punked: I got into Waterloo Optometry!

| It's real, right?! *pinches self* Ah! okay, it is! |

| TBH, I was expecting a bigger package... where are all the guides and books? |
- As previously discussed, it is the best option for me financially.
As someone in a deep pit of student debt already, and someone whose parents have three other young'uns to support, I needed to choose a school that would fit me best, financially. Basically,I'm broke and needed to pick the cheapest option. - The trade-off? I'll be living in a relatively dull place - specifically, in comparison to Boston and Chicago. Not that this will be quite a change for me; I'm pretty used to living in the 'burbs (even London wasn't that busy of a city) so I probably won't even notice that there is no night life or special attractions around.
- Buuuuuuut, there is a Chatime in Waterloo! Which is a plus and a minus because I can feed my bubble tea cravings very well now, but my wallet will not appreciate it.
- And I'll be close to home... which is also a plus and a minus because the cost of transportation won't be too bad, but I won't get to experience truly being on my own. Then again, I could always just block my mom's phone number...
- All in all, my friend put it best, and I paraphrase here: I'm getting the same degree as I would at NECO or ICO but at a lower cost. This isn't to say that I won't be in debt after graduation - oh, I will be - but my pit won't grow too much deeper.
Above everything though - wow. I can't believe I did it. I got in. Wow. Wowie zowie. I just... can't.... wow.
