Emergency!


This post is brought to you with an important message worth of posting a post today. UF committee will decide the applications in exactly 2 weeks from today! That means that I'll know if I got accepted to UF two weeks from now! I am excited, scared and nervous at the same time... This is dreadful! But I believe in a God of miracles that can totally bust and change people's emotions and reasoning to accept me as a graduate student. I mean, they accepted me as a transfer two years ago, why shouldn't they do something like that again? But at the same time, I will admit that I am scared because my GRE scores are not added up to their standards and my GPA is below 3.5... but I have progressed as a linguist and individual! I took a grad school class, I'm in my second class in what I want to study and I'm working for a professor doing things that I will most likely do in the future. Yes, I don't have another specification besides Language Documentation yet, because I love words and want to specialize in Morphology as well as Language Documentation and I didn't want to do that if I never took a morphology class before until now. I tried to go into syntax and phonetics, but I cannot cheat on Morphology, it's too dear to me lol I used to dream that I would travel around the world looking for the significance and history of one words, or in other words, be a historical linguist. But I just wanted the words part. and when I saw language documentation I saw that they needed ppl to actually go out there and research. Not only that, but Central American Languages are right there and I didn't want to go anywhere else, I wanted Indians that were already fighting for what they believed and needed help. I know that God's plan for me is to spread the need to go out there and document languages so we can analyze them and come up with a good resource that other can use to translate bibles and reach new people for Christ. I know this whole plan sound nuts, but is what I got in my heart and what I want to do... I hope the people in the Linguistics committee can see that and add me to the 15 to 20 people they'll accept into their program. No, I KNOW the people in the Linguistics committee will see that and add me to the 15 to 20 people they'll accept into their program. That;s the Spirit!!
