Acceptance Letter

So, here's how this worked. This morning I woke up at about 8 am. I wandered downstairs and Jake had spent the night. He was playing wii and I meandered over to the computer to hop online and wait for an MIT decision. At 8:47, even though the decision was supposed to be anounced at 9:00, when I refreshed my screen, something different than "Decisions will be released later" popped up. Here's what it was:

I read the first line and then freaked out. The first thing I said was "I GOT IN!" and then my mom came screaming running into the living room and Jake had no idea what to do with himself, it was all really happy. We then proceeded to call everybody we know, even people we hadn't talked to in years. My dad got home about a minute and a half later and started to actually cry when he found out. My mom had to go get her nails done but when she came back she brought the MIT shirt I have after having "Accepted" emblazened on the back. I'll wear it on Monday. Now I have to leave the house and run errands with my MIT shirt on, my mom wants to show me off. I'll blog again later! Ciao! (today is a good day! sorry that the formatting on my blog is screwy, it's because of the color change, I'll change it back when the excitement has died down a bit!)
