Oddly enough, I feel really good

I got a letter yesterday from the Graduate Centre for Study of Drama at the University of Toronto (what a mouth full!) and I was actually a little relieved that I did not get in. I knew that I couldn't afford it. I knew that the competition was fierce. Seriously, the number of applicants has gone up in the past 20 years and the number of schools to which we all apply has also increased. It makes sense. We're all told in high school to apply to a few schools. "Make sure you have a safety." As a result, schools' acceptance rates have plummeted, especially in the past 5 years. You've heard of the Baby Boom, we're the Education Boom. My generation can't seem to get enough schoolin'. Oh well. Was I disappointed? Yes. Was I surprised? Not really. And, as I've said, it was a relief to know I wouldn't have to worry about paying for it all. I haven't made up my mind if I'll apply again later on. I'm not rushing to make that decision. I still plan to move to Toronto, this year if I can swing in. On that too, I am not rushing to make a decision.
