glad i called


today i called the boston schools
on my lunch break to "check my application status"- a.k.a. see if they could give me ANY information. i was worried about calling them since i called a week and half ago and they didn't really have anything exciting to tell me. one said i would know in a few weeks and the other said 4-6 weeks. but i called anyway... because i'm so brave and all.

i called boston college first. she said that my file was still under review, but that they would probably have a decision by the end of the week and i would get a letter next week. i thought this was awesome news. i could find out next week. yay! unless i get rejected... then boo.

i called simmons college next -these guys originally told me 4-6 weeks, so i about chickened out. but the phone call went like this:
"oh we sent out your acceptance letter on friday."
"wait, i got accepted?!!"
"yep."
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!? OH MY GOSH! this is AWESOME!! YES! This is great news! i can't believe it!"
"yeah, and we sent it to this address: blah blah blah. is that right?"
"yep, that's me. i think i could cry! AAHHHHH! WOW! THANK YOU! have a great day!!"
"you too."

she must think i'm nuts.

we should hear back from boston college next week, but looking at the two programs i am leaning more towards simmons anyway. it's an awesome program with all sorts of specializations in Mental Health/Addictions, Trauma, Children and Family, and more. i love it! we will see. this is so much FUN! i can't believe i got in!

wow... glad i made that phone call.

and now i owe my dad dinner.
what a great bet to lose?! ... can we go to pei wei dad? i LOVE pei wei.
