Gotcha!! 
Hey, quit throwing stuff!!!
Sheesh.
As some of you may know, I’m applying to several radiology programs. I did the same thing last year, but I was rejected by all of them.
Well, not exactly true.
Last year (2002)I applied to Holy Cross Hospital’s program in Silver Spring, MD, and went down and took a test and did an interview and took a tour of the facilities. At the time (and currently) I was living in Maine. Holy Cross’s policy was to accept applicants who lived in Maryland first, then look at out of state applicants, which meant that I got a letter stating that I was an alternate, which meant that if someone who had been accepted at Holy Cross chose not to go there I was next in line. Apparently I asked the woman in charge if she could carry my application over to the next year (2003). She said that she would. (I have to stress that I remember none of this.)
So, last Friday I open my e-mail and there is an e-mail from the head of the radiology program at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring Maryland, asking if I would be interested in setting up an interview.
My immediate and instantaneous reaction: WHA??? and I fell off my chair.
OK, I did the Wha??? bit, but the falling out of the chair bit was just bullshit.
So, after showing Servant’s dad the e-mail, I sent her one, in which I asked “What the hell is going on??!!!”
But I said it in a very nice and polite way, trust me.
Honest and true I was polite as can be.
She e-mailed back, explaing the situation and asked if I’d like her to mail me a schedule of dates and times for the interviews.
To which I replied, “OH MY, YES.”
So now I just have to wait for the sacred letter to arrive.
Now, while we’re waiting, who wants pie?
With or without ice cream?
