I got into the Creative Writing M.A. program at Central Michigan University! They liked my portfolio!
Elation. Joy. Freedom. Peace. Gratitude. Hope.
But the best word to describe how I feel: O so CHUFFED! All evening, my parents have had to put up with me scurrying like a bunny up and down the stairs to feed them new bits of exciting information. They have done their best not to laugh at me. I still don't know whether I can afford this. I have applied for a Graduate Assistantship, and if I get it, I will get free tuition and a 10,500 dollar living stipend. If I don't get it, I either have to wait a year or take out too many loans. But the first step has been taken, and I could not be more thrilled.
Now, to attend to the fuzzy purring lump who demands to use me as a living hot water bottle every night. Already this evening she has dashed across the keyboard while I type in a desperate bid for attention. Now she is sitting on my bed, staring determinedly at me and rumbling like a generator. Is it bedtime, Holly? Why yes, yes it is. And I will sleep soundly tonight.
