Thank you to everyone for your birthday wishes and emails! I owe a lot of people emails back — and I really will get to it… I’ve actually had a busy week: Bon flew down from NYC to spend my b-day week with me (hint to other New Yorkers: Planes fly south) and we’ve been… well, mostly sitting around drinking sweet tea. But still, I’ve been busy.
A short list of presents highlights:
- T-shirts and a duvet from Laos
- Coffemaker
- A visit from Bon
- Confirmation from my Dr. that all bone healing is going very well and the go-ahead to bend my knee as far as and as much as I want (but not walk for another month)
- A blow up girlfriend from the Fentonistas (though its not quite as tall as the real one)
- 160GB External Harddrive for my MP3 collection
- Admission to Georgetown Law School
Yes, I got an admission letter today from Georgetown (dated October 30) with a handwritten note saying how great my personal statement was! So the year and 25+ drafts I spent working on it finally paid off. And I owe HUGE thank yous to everyone who helped me figure out WHAT to write and then HOW to write it (Leah, Bon, Lauren, Erica, Bon, Leah, Erica, Lauren, Kerry, Uncle Ross, Erica, Bon, Erica, Bon, Uncle Ross, Kerry, Lauren… I hope I didn’t forget anyone…) and then not killing me for pestering you too much.
So, East Coast schools: 1. West Coast schools: 0.
Wait–so are you for sure going to go to law school?
yay for everything!
I miss you.
Happy belated birthday.
xoxo
