My last acceptance was both intriguing, symbolically funny, and wonderfully surprising. Over the period of two weeks, I had been trying to get in contact with an admissions representative at Cornell University to resolve a situation regarding my GRE scores (I happen to have "two" names due to being a U.S. permanent resident to further complicate things...). Eventually, I get an email asking me why I did not apply for a fellowship, so I naturally quickly followed up. Later in the day, my school is having an event for graduating seniors; its theme was how to develop a proper dinner etiquette. The host had literally just finished going over how it was extremely impolitely to give your cell phone more attention than the dinner guests when I received a call. At first, I quickly dismissed the phone (since I follow the rules of proper dinner etiquette, of course) and dined with my fellow classmates. Eventually, I decided to check my phone since the person had left a message. Does nearly crawling on the floor sound like proper dinner etiquette if most the guests are gone for the evening?
