YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS!
The letter arrived yesterday in a regular #10 envelope that usually means one thing: REJECTION. I didn’t even tear it open immediately downstairs by my mailbox, like I did with the first rejection letter I received last week. So there I was, sitting in the bathroom with my stack of mail (because I’m a classy broad), expecting to read “Thanks for the sixty bucks, sucker,” when instead my eyes landed on “I am pleased to inform you that we can offer you a place…” Holy shit! (I said, most appropriately), then hurried up to call MomOh to tell her the good news.
I GOT IN. I actually got into an MFA program. All along MomOh has been telling me that I only need one “yes,” and now that I have it I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I’m doing cartwheels on the inside, which is probably for the best given my propensity to klutz. DadOh’s reaction was predictably reserved (“I’m sure you could have gotten into law school, too”), but my friends have all been wonderfully supportive and congratulatory! Of course, I still have ten more programs to hear from in the next few weeks and it would be great to have some options, but the hardest part is over.
Whoa. It’s really happening. I’m going to be a writer…for a living! HOORAY!

YAY!!!
you could have gotten in to beauty school too...
Congrats! I had no doubts J.
Also about the law school, I don't think you'd want to follow through with that plan... you know you didn't want to be part of the Woodman, Woodman, Woodman & Woodman LLP - thank god!
ColesAnon, you're cracking me up. Thanks for the vigilant reminders of my previous misjudgments.
congrats, Jack.
Congrats!!!! Where are you going, by the way? You left out the best part!!!
I think that the only reason you should go to law school would be if your brother and sister go and then you can all open a firm together called "Oh, Oh and OH!!!"
