ACCEPTED.

I am ecstatic. Today I can breathe, relax, and know that I got into graduate school, University of Kentucky to be exact. Now comes the hard part, waiting to find out from the other schools, and making a pros and cons list for all of them (obviously, type A over here).

Here is what happened today: Yesterday I called all of my grad school programs (and forgot it was President's day and that's why no one answered any of my calls), left voicemails, etc. This morning I had a voicemail from UK with an answer about something I had inquired about (GRE scores) so I decided to call them back and thank you for getting back to me and also ask them another question: do they know when I will hear back on an acceptance or not? I quickly called back the kind lady who left me the voicemail, we chatted for a second, and then I asked her..."I don't want to seem too eager, but do you have any idea when I might hear back from the admissions office?" "Well, they actually reviewed your application yesterday, I'm looking at it right here." "Really?" "Yes, and well, I will just go ahead and tell you because that wouldn't be fair of me not too...you are offered admission! Congratulations, you got accepted!" "You're joking? Really? Oh my goodness you're sure?" "Yes! They made the decision yesterday and sent your letter in the mail, so you should be receiving the acceptance in the mail in about three days, and then an email to follow as well!" "You just made my week, thank you SO much!"

What a good day. Nothing can get me down today. And, BONUS, I will be hearing back from two other schools by next week. Life is so good.
