When I got the news, I was browsing the internet. It was the evening in my time zone and I figured that I probably wouldn't be hearing that day, even though I had been told to expect a phone call, so I was trying to distract myself from the nerves and dread of spending the weekend without answers. Getting the call was surreal and I didn't come off as excited as I felt. Right after my acceptance, I sat there for a few moments and then told my family! My father is a MD/PhD, so it was special to tell them I will be getting a PhD as well. Then I emailed my POI to follow-up and expressed my excitement in a clearer way.
