When my mom died I kind of just STOPPED going to school at BYU-I... I didn't go to any sort of councilor explaining my absences or anything. Just stopped. And took every F that came out of it. At that time I didn't care. Nor did I think that I would ever actually care about going back to school again. Due to my lack of explanation or attendance, I was put on Academic Suspension. I didn't care. I had no desire what so ever to go back to BYU-I. There were too many memories. Too many that I didn't think I could handle. Whether it was going to pick up my books, which I had done with my mom. Or doing anything school related that I had done. Mainly it was the fact that I would be walking through those halls and those grounds that I had done so many times before. But those times before I had called my mom. Between every class, I called my mom. On my way to class and back from class, I called my mom. And those times scared me. It scared me to think that I was going to be doing those things again. But without being able to call her.
Well, lately Bobby and I have been discussing how we can get him done with school the fastest! And as we've been discussing this, it's made me realize, hmm... why don't I just get some school done too!? Whether it be online or in the classroom?
So last week I pulled up my old BYU-Idaho account and was actually surprised that I could even still pull it up. When I found out I could PETITION my suspension online, I was once again happily surprised! So I filled it out, explaining the situation and the hard time I had gone through at that time. Thinking to myself, I know so many people who have petitioned and they haven't let back in. So I didn't have my hopes up. And honestly didn't think that I would hear back from them for at least 4 weeks.
Today it happened though! I grabbed my phone to see if I had any missed calls. I didn't... But I had emails. And one of them caught my eye.
It was from the Admissions.
Telling me that my Academic Suspension was lifted!!
So this has made for a great day... and a Happy Lindsey!
In jr high and high school, even college, I knew exactly what I wanted to be! I was majoring in Architecture! And very happy to be doing so! I had known I wanted to do that for so long and I was very excited to be able to study what I wanted.
I'm still debating on what I'm going to do. I am leaning towards a Bachelors in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Photography. Or just staying with my original plan. I guess that I can always change right!?
I just thought I'd share my exciting no more Academic Suspension news!! Wish me luck!
