yeah so things are still looking up. i just got
this e-mail:
Hello....thank you for your interest in the
spring 2006 Brass Ring program.
The interest in next semester's program has been particularly strong, making the selection process even more challenging. Each application has been thoroughly reviewed multiple times, and I'm glad to say that your team has been selected...congratulations!
No further action on your part is required at this point, but you should be prepared to add MAN 366P / 04040 in January. You'll receive further details as the beginning of the spring semester approaches.
Best wishes for an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday, and if you have any questions or need further info at this point please let me know.

i met the guy when he came into the advising office and he just took an instant liking to me (who wouldn't haha). he kept encouraging me to apply and said he was really eager to read my application. so i figured it was worth a try. plus, the program fulfills my internship requirement for graduation. for the fall 2005 semester he accepted everyone that applied b/c of low demand. apparently, spring is much more popular and competitive so it makes me really happy to know i applied for a competitive program and was accepted.
i also received the news that i was accepted into
leadershape. it's this week long program the business school holds with different companies. it's supposed to be about leadership skills and so forth. i didn't really want to go but the lady in the office kind of made me apply. so now in january, i will be hanging out with the cool cats from ford motor company.
it's kind of scary but i'm becoming pretty well known around the b-school and ut in general. i get new facebook friend requests daily and i can't walk around the business school without saying hi to at least 10 people. i guess it's a cool thing but at the same time it freaks me out. i had such a terrible year last year as far as friendships go. but this year i'm really meeting some awesome people and that makes me very happy. i only hope that through this process i stay true to myself and just ride everything out.
all in all, right now, it is feeling really great to be me. :)
off to houston in the morning to surprise my mom with flowers and lunch. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!! :D
