Oh my god! I'm having trouble catching my breath right now. So much craziness has ensued this month, but I just received the greatest news of all. I've been frantically checking the mail every day for the last month awaiting letters to arrive. I opened up the door to the garage today and saw a packet lying in the mail box. I ran out and grabbed it and saw that it was from NYU. I just knew a packet would signal good news. I ran back inside, grabbed a letter opener, and ripped the envelope open. When I pulled out the contents and saw an acceptance letter, the only thing I could think to do was to scream at the top of my lungs. I'm in. I'm accepted to the Cinema Studies M.A. program for this fall. I'm moving to New York City! The first thing I thought to do was to grab my phone and just start calling everybody. I thought that I had been keeping my previous denial letters from my parents, but my dad told me that he actually reads my website (which I never knew), so he knew this was it. As you can probably imagine, I'll be celebrating tonight, and, of course, I'm trying to get as many of my friends as I can find to come along for the party. Tomorrow could be a rough day at work, but I'll worry about that then. I'm in!!!!!!
