Double Punch

Thursday I received two letters; one from USC, the other from Loyola. Both started with the lovely phrase, "We regret to inform you..." That's all I needed to give a quick flick of the wrist, making the paper soar like a badly crafted airplane. It looks like the hopes of a fall semester have vanished. I've been working on this for over a year. Preparing, planning, taking tests and filling out forms now seems like wasted time. Who knows. I'm trying to hear the voice of Jesus in this. I emailed my professors about it, and they sent there condolences, except for Byron, he suggested I try the MA in Philo. of Religion & Ethics at Biola, and not do the second BA thing. I didn't want to do the religious institution thing, but I also want to move forward, and not back to a second BA. We'll see. I'm trying to keep my ears open.
