well.

I've been offered acceptance to the U's graduate chem program. I need to accept or decline within a week.

I haven't heard from Oregon State.

I am, obviously, very AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH about this.

I don't want to stay here! ...but I don't want to not to go graduate school, either D:

eta: and of course the boyfriend is very understanding.

"Talk to OSU. Find out what the story is. Tell them that you need to know, promptly, whether you've been accepted or rejected, because you've been offered acceptance to another program and you have to accept or decline their offer within a week. Do it politely, though. Then, if you're accepted to OSU, great! If you're not, OK! Accept the U's offer, come out here for the summer, and you can decide if you want to try to find work out here and take a year off, or if you want to go back in August. My lease is up in August, so if you want to move back to Utah and do graduate school there, we can do that! Seriously, though: BREATHE. Everything will work out OK."

this because I was weepy on the phone about it :(
