popularity contest of one.
i'd like to thank the other contestants for sucking just a little bit more than me.
today i went to the mail room and saw a purple slip. purple slips mean paper packages, as opposed to pink slips that signify boxes. for the record, boxes are usually way more interesting. but not today.
today the school of public policy and development at USC accepts me and recommends me to be admitted at the university. the table i'm with shouts and hugs unroariously. we like to see others succeed because ti gives us hope that we will too. we also bitterly hate because we're scared that everyone else but us has direction and plans.
after getting off the phone with my dad, i discover there's more. They're offering me a pretty sizeable merit scholarship. although they haven't sent financial aid yet, they've already cut tuition in half.
and then i got to my next two classes in a buzz. and go home and celebrate with kika. and then check my email. and i discover there is more.
carnegie mellon also welcomes me to the class of 2010. and offers an impressive merit scholarship as well. sans financial aid letter, they too have cut my tuition in half.
i'm pretty sure i no longer need to care about my GPA re:staying magna/summa/ fuck it whatever.
i feel like a jerk but you know i can't rest until the march 28 letter. it's the only one i don't know. probably not, i think i'll lose it and new jersey and maybe illinois, but pick up washington and colorado.
for the moment, however, i am basking. and deciding how many other people in the world fuel their thesising with chocolate frosting, whiskey lemonade, and green grapes. i'm guessing a lot.
