"I am delighted to inform you..."
"The Admissions Committee was impressed by your excellent performacne in the challenging program you elected at Bishop O'Dowd High School as well as by your academic awards. These achievements are especially commendable given your involvement in the Asian Student Alliance, varsity golf, and piano. Your essay revealed the dedication and passion you have shown for Chinese folk dancing. Recognizing your intention to study neuroscience, we know that you will enjoy working closely with the many scientists on our faculty who share your interest.
We are still involved in the process of selecting those candidates who will be invited to join you in the next entering class, but the Committee wanted to notify you and a small number of other especially outstanding candidates before our regular notification date of March 23rd."

This calls for a celebration at the Mavs vs. Dubs game tonight! (a team with the most active non-playoff appearances vs. the Western Conference champion last year, this is going to be fun...)

Anyway. On another good note, Multicultural week was last week, and as always, it was Asian domination all the way. Me and Olivia were talking at one point last week, and we both agreed that you no that feeling of performing on stage (or racing in boats or riding horses à la Lauren and Lexi) with everybody cheering you on? Nothing like it.
And the video.

Seriously, we've been preparing this for so long, and to finally go out there and have a blast, just as we always do, was so worth all that drama crap we went through. It worked out in the end, so I am so proud of all of us.
I can't believe that after the end of this month, we only have one more marking period left.
