As some of you know, I applied to PSU for my PHd. I was applying to study American Studies/ Women's Studies- essentially melding the 2 into a course in transgender studies.
The advisor, Dr. Haddad, seemed enthusiastic.
Guess he wasn't. Today I received a letter from PSU Harrisburg. I didn't get in.
"... the committee believes that, at present, you lack the necessary background and training in a Humanities field."
Like English and history.
Y'know- my undergrad degree.
They say I should go shell out for another masters degree that I can't afford, then re-apply.
So much for that idea. Yet again, I learned the hard way not to Hope. Hope is for other people, not me. All it brings is torture. I didn't think I could be hurt anymore- that my soul was just one mass of scar tissue. I was wrong.
I wonder if Burger King is hiring. That's about all I'll be able to get at this point.
As you can guess I'm miserable.
Just another day
