Wilfred Laurier University!


I received an offer of admission letter from Wilfred Laurier University! After the waiting and wondering where God would lead me next, I now know! This school was one of three possible schools I was applying for, and my top choice because of its Masters in Music Therapy program. Well it still isn't 100% since I did not get a final offer, but the only conditions are to graduate from UBC and send them my final transcript. And I did graduate :)

Wow, its almost hard to believe that I will be a grad student soon. I will definitely be sad to leave Vancouver, and I probably will only be able to come back a week or two at a time, since my program is year-round (3 terms/year) for 2 years. So no summer break... I guess thats the norm for grad students.

But I am also looking forward to this new time in my life. Recently I've been feeling a little -too- comfortable in my life. Being away from my family, away from my home church, and being in a completely different city, needing to meet new people and make new friends will definitely be challenging; something that is not so comfortable. I bet that while I'm there, I'll wish for the comfort I had. But I hope that through the discomfort, my faith, trust, and reliance on God will strengthen, and that the things I've learned all these years will translate into the heart.

Exciting.

Congrats again!! A new chapter in your life.. that is exciting =) Waterloo's a good place to go, a smaller city but it's nice since ppl get to know each other and you're not lost in the crowd. Wed night grocery runs, $2.99 all-day breakfast at Mel's Diner, all you can eat bread/salad at East Side Marios, Apple fritters from St. Jacobs.. oh the memories. I'm sure you'll make lots more of your own there =)
