Strike three, but I’m not out

I got a rejection letter from the last of the three universities I applied to, Western Washington. At least they offered to discuss how to strengthen my application. I plan to contact them during the window of time they set aside.
While I was definitely surprised and somewhat disappointed, the impact was lessened by the fact that I’ve been hired as a technical writer by the State of Oregon Department of Human Services. It’s ironic, as one impetus for going back to school was the inability to get hired as a technical writer since graduating almost three years ago.

Pass Go. Collect two hundred dollars.
See you at the Con!

There’s more schools out there!
It’s great that you’re writing professionally on a full-time basis now. That’s sweet.

Congrats on the side-shift.
Similar thing happened to me. I had trouble finding a job, thought I’d do an online degree with a local institute… shortly after semester starts, I was hired. And it’s now been a year.
Life’s funny like that.
