Decision Day

This morning, I woke up nervous. As I sat up in bed, practically shaking with overactive anxiety, I realized I knew. I would find out today.

I got up, and went straight for my phone, something told me I had an important email.

I looked, and sure enough there was one from Northwestern entitled, " Decision". I read the short paragraph instructing me to follow a link where I could view the decision. Anxiously, I waited for my phone to load the page, where I had to sign in.

Once signed in, it instructed me to follow yet another link to the decision page. (they were really dragging out this suspense weren't they?!)

Where, I discovered this letter:

November 18, 2010

1625 West Morse
