Praise me, Praise me!

by Mary R » Dec 13th, '07, 23:50

I finally pulled my shit together and sent off my first grad school application...Cornell. Haven't a snowballs chance of actually getting in (3,000 people are vying for approximately 15 spots), but at least I did it. First step in really being a grown up...done.

I think I'm going to be sick.

That was the single best thing I've seen all day.

Well, that and the Executive Coloring Book EO dropped a link to earlier.

Aw, I feel the warm fuzzies!

Seriously...I called my boy to let him know and got "You woke me up to tell me THIS?! *click*" Then I called my best friend and got "Sorrysweetiecan'ttalknowmustlearneverythingaboutthecardiovascularsystembyFriday *click*" Then I called my other best friend and got "Righteous. What? Oh, baby...you have GOT to try shrooms...*click*"

So it was just very, very nice to see some well-wishes from really excellent people. Thanks everyone!

Umm...10? Virginia, Indiana, Washington (the one in Seattle, not St. Louis), Minnesota, Illinois (Urbana/Champaign), Ohio State, Vanderbilt, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Notre Dame.

I'm rooting particularly hard for Minnesota and Washington.
