Woot!!

I apologize for the spamming of posts, but...I GOT ACCEPTED INTO EMERSON!!!!!

If you know about it, chances are you know more than I do. But from what I know, Emerson has a kick ass writing program, which is beneficial for me as I plan on becoming an author.

I just wanted to share that good news.

Woot!!!!

Simplicity

About twenty minutes ago I was rejected from Wheaton College. The funny thing is that instead of being down about this news, I was actually quite relieved. Yesterday I was wait listed at another college that I applied to and I wasn't even sure what to do with that news. In fact, I still don't know if I should be sad or not; I don't know what to make of it. But rejection is simple, it's a decision that I can live with. At first I thought that it was in its finality that I liked rejection, but then I thought that if I had been accepted, I would have one more option to to confuse me as I chose my college. So really, I think I like this rejection because of its simplicity; this wasn't a college that I wanted to go to intensely, it was just a "why not?' type of application. So not being accepted here simplifies my decision immensely for me.

I guess the entire point of this post is this statement.

Yay for simplicity!

For the price of two cups of tea

Tonight I went to J. Gilligan's to see The Friday Crew and raise money for MGM. Needless to say, the tiny little bar&grill was packed, standing room only. The dozen or so waitresses were slammed by high school kids downing soda after soda or people not ordering anything at all. A few got very snippy, but one, the one who just happened to be our waitress, didn't let the crowd faze her. Without questions she checked to see if the cheesecake was strawberry-free (I'm horribly allergic), which it wasn't, and she felt truly sorry. So sorry that she found a cheesecake Hershey's Kiss in the back and brought it out to me. The fact that she remembered that and thought of me (one of many teenager, who supposedly tip horribly) even though she had so many other customers with better tipping reputations, really made me smile. That little Kiss was the highlight of an already amazing night. She also didn't charge us for two of our drinks! I could have hugged her if she didn't have a tray full of beer and several annoyed customers. We don't even know each others' names, but that tiny, seemingly insignificant deed will stay with me for a long time to come.

Thank you very much, Gilligan's waitress.
Thank you.
