I was writing a midterm when my phone started buzzing in my pocket. I figured it was just one of my friends calling, wondering where I was on a Friday. I finished the exam and the number was from Quebec. I figure it's probably a telemarketer, since there's no voicemail, but I call it anyway. Turns out it's a professor from my dream school. Now, I'd had the worst week before because my dream school had lost my transcripts and my letters of reference. The application was due in January but they emailed me Wednesday to tell me the adcomm meets on Monday and they had never received them, even though I had included everything in my original package. So what followed was a mad scramble with my Registrar's Office and my profs to get everything sent off again. Luckily my university is small and everything got sent away. This is the top school in the country. I applied to it on a whim. No way I get in now. But the prof is just saying they'd like for me to come down and visit so I think, "That's nice, they probably just want to meet me." But then he says they were really excited about my app and I was a first round selection and they had an acceptance package in the mail with a funding offer. I've been over the moon ever since.
