Last friday I found out I didn't get into my program for next year either. In my experience, it's best to allow yourself to feel that grief you're feeling - Just don't let it control you. If you move to Colorado you can join that significantly sized outpost of hubskiers there. If those folks ever meet up it'll be a heck of a party I think.
I'm sorry to hear that. Grief it is! But feeling so low and then, with the help of others, realizing that it'll be ok, has been oddly and surreally an invigorating experience. Reminds me that I'm alive? That life isn't smooth? That we are the obstacles we overcome? I look forward to a Rocky Mountain Real Life pubski in my future.
clenches fist and screams at the sky: eightbitsamurai!! Stay alive!!! I will find you! No matter what occurs!
