The last 17 hours of my life have been beyond crazy…
Someone strapped me onto an emotional rollercoaster and would not let me off.
I HATE rollercoasters.
One minute I was typing up an assignment for summer school… the next I am finding out I have to withdraw from the program due to an insufficient score report… I go to bed a hysterical mess. Then I wake up and find out my University misprinted the scores on my transcripts… so I am reinstated into the program… only to discover my other test scores won’t be here in time for school… I’m frantically calling the scoring service… sobbing to the poor girl on the other line….one three way call later and everything is back to normal.
I can’t stop shaking and thinking, “Why me?” Why all of this sudden chaos?? I believe everything happens for a reason and that maybe this was just a little shake-up to remind me to never give up on my dreams?
I refuse to admit I am being dramatic… because I am not… twelve hours ago I thought I had hit rock bottom. I thought that everything I had worked for, dreamed of, prepared for, was gone. All because of a misprint on a transcript. My University knows their mistake and are happy things have been resolved… but that emotional roller coaster I just rode has had a seriously permanent effect on me.
I guess that sometimes life will throw you a curve ball to make sure you are paying attention. I have to say that I am SO LUCKY to have the most supportive and caring family and friends a person could ask for. Mom, Mr. Bear, Dad, J and C, GF, Becky, Miss Kris, Katie F, Susan, Sean, Jessica, Noelle – you are incredible. Your prayers and uplifting words – your encouragement to never give up – your ability to make me smile and laugh when I feel like the biggest failure – I don’t know what I would have done without you.
Thank you for believing in me and thank you for always having faith in me.

Goodness girl! I’m so glad you got everything worked out. I know how much you’ve wanted this.
I think this calls for a glass (or 3) of wine and an appt with a masseuse!
J and A says
Oh my! What a mess. I am SO glad it all worked out. You deserve a happy ending! Enjoy your day!
Corinne says
Holy crap Mrs. Bear!!!! I am SO SO SOOO happy everything has been worked out and is back to normal but GEEZ that was one awful mishap that happened to you! If it would have been me I would have been dehydrated from all the tears I would have cried, and then I would have had wine to “rehydrate” myself, which would have led to more and more tears.
Sounds like you handled it a tad better than I would have 😉
But in all seriousness, I am so sorry that happened, but I’m happy that everything is worked out. Although it was def. not something you needed at this moment when you are trying to switch gears and get ready.
I’m happy all is back to normal. You’re ready to take on the world now, darling!
Ams says
Ummmmm… I think I would have freaking lost my mind if that happened to me!! I can’t believe the University made a mistake like that 🙁 That’s not exactly a minor one and how stressful. I am glad that it all got worked out though… I often wonder why things have to be so difficult.
Really? Just a nice straight and narrow path would be good every once and awhile. Of course we aren’t that lucky right?! Ugh.
Thinking of you… I hope that you can recover from that insanity!!
(And so happy you have so many supportive people around you – how would we get through it without them?!)
Allison says

Kristin says
OH. MY. GOSH! I am sooo sorry! I can’t even imagine how stressful that was! You deserve a big fat martini! I’m glad it all worked out in the end.
Shelby Bukhenik says

Carol {Everyday Delights} says
Oh my gosh – what a mess! I’m so sorry you had to deal with it but so glad everything worked out okay.
All you need is love... says
It was a good thing everything was resolved!!
Dont you hate it when people cause you stress, for NO reason at ALL?!?! I love when people take minutes off my life for no reason!!
All you need is love... says
Oh yes! and PS.
Your comment gave me good laugh this morning.
First, the thought of a wedding reception being broken up by the police. Ha Ha man that must have been a crazy party… considering how long it had already been going on! (This is the type of party I want.. I might need to get with you on discussions and tips to get the party going! Because clearly you know how to do it)
And then, when you said it would leave plenty of time to jump in the bed in my wedding suit! ! haha and I LAUGH because my options for a ceremony was 3 and 7:30 and Ty nixed the 7:30 faster than I could ask… he said I would be too tired when it was over, and he dosent want that =/
LauraAnn says
Oh you poor thing! I do not think you were being dramatic one bit. I would have freaked out if that happened to me.
I am glad that everything has been resolved. Even though I am late commenting on this post I still think you should go grab a fun adult beverage to relax! 😉
