Thank you everyone! You know, the funny thing is, I was having a terrible day, thinking about some hard times in the past, couldn’t let go… okay to be honest, I CRIED MYSELF TO SLEEP last night because I was so upset about something that happened years and years ago. I got this notification (a sign of the modern times) via E-MAIL when I came home from work. It’s amazing how unimportant that thing I was sad about suddenly has become. I have my whole future in front of me, and I am so, so very excited. ---

I didn’t want to get my hopes up. But I will go soon. As soon as my coworker gets back from Amsterdam I am taking a personal day! ---

:: envious :: **olives** , how are you going there? Scholarship? Loans? Rich uncle? Man, I wish we lived in countries where university was low-cost. I can deal with being weeded out by a brutal selection process, but not being able to _afford_ it sucks. ---
