An update on the whole situation?

Yes, an update.

So I've momentarily come to terms with the whole "oh no, what am I doing?!" scare.  I've decided that life works the way it's supposed to work.  Everything has to happen for a reason; if I'm not meant to go to this new university then I simply will not be admitted.  However, if Maharishi University of Management is where my life is supposed to take me, then I will be accepted.  I suppose that seems like a passive way of living life, letting fate and the universe direct it all, but I sort of see life like a roaring river: the current is going in one particular direction, you can fight it as much as you want but that does not and will not ever change the fact that the river is still going where it needs to go, you can't ever change the direction of the current, so you might as well just float along with the waves, after all the water knows where its going, even if you don't.

And on that note, yesterday, I requested that an informational dvd be sent to me via snail-mail services.  I'm actually sort of excited to see what the dvd says!

Today, early this morning in fact, I was contacted by the dean of admissions and we had an amazing conversation!  We basically just talked about MUM and he answered all of my questions fully, which is impressive because I had an entire list typed out!  He was just such a positive man, so open minded and so enthusiastic about the university and life in general.  It was such a beautiful conversation to have first thing in the morning and it really made my day complete.

Needless to say, I pretty much jumped on my computer the second our conversation ended and filled out the application to become an official student for the fall semester of 2011.  I've just filled out the basics so far, I still have to write a few essays, get a few teacher recommendations, and talk to my current uni (as well as my high school) about getting some transcripts, but the process as officially begun!  And I have never been more excited for anything in my life!


On that note, I will end this entry and leave whoever might be watching this with a beautiful video that one of my dear friends from high school showed me just this morning.  It's incredible and really makes you think about the world and life and the intricate beauty of it all:
