Alright, check it out.
It's a Friday night in and I'm just minding my own business multi-tasking like a champion (watching a movie, some facebook action, looking up stupid videos of people falling on youtube..) when I decide to check my e-mail.
I have 43 new messages. So I'm quickly scanning down to view who they are all from and I see:
Eastern Michigan (oh, not again....)
Facebook (+33 more times)
I wish Facebook didn't send me e-mail updates. I don't know how to change it. Anyways, so I see a message from Eastern Michigan. I look in the subject line and read, "Greetings from Eastern Michigan University! I am delighted to inform you..." That's it. I have to open to see the rest.
Now I have to hit pause for a sec and update those of you who don't know me on what's been going on... so you don't think I'm completely negative.
This is the 3rd year in a row I've tried to get into a graduate school for Speech Pathology. It has been a serious struggle. I have about 30 rejection letters sitting in a pile in my room. I don't even have to open them anymore to know that its a rejection. Open the mailbox..see a plain skinny white envelope..rejection. Don't even need to open it. Rejection e-mails too..all read the same thing in the subject line, "I am sorry to inform you the the Faculty at blah blah blah cannot at this time.."
So I'm expecting the same thing with Eastern Michigan
(well my first thought was....when did I apply to Eastern Michigan???? Which gives you an idea of how many times I've done this.).
So, again, I'm thinking this is just another rejection and I'm reading, "Greetings from Eastern Michigan!!!!" That's just sick I thought...they are about to crush all my hopes and dreams with a cheerful GREETINGS!!!!...assholes...
Then, I go on, "I'm delighted to inform you.." RUTHLESS..at least the other schools regret to inform me....are sorry to inform me...Eastern Michigan is delighted to inform me that they can't offer me a position. Gotta respect the honesty and uniqueness of their rejections though...
I finally open the e-mail.
"Greetings from Eastern Michigan University! I am delighted to inform you that you have been admitted to our graduate program in speech-language pathology for Fall 2010."
...............huh?
Me: MOOOOMMMM!!! Is this for real?? What does it mean?!?!
Mom: It means you should have saved your money instead of blowing it all on liquor at Main Street Pub.
Gotta love moms....
Congratulations Andrea!! Kind of stinks that when I graduate you'll be starting school. Your mom is right by the way, but main st is hard to pass up :)
