On July 13, 2010, my sister came home from picking up my brother from SAT prep class. I had texted her asking if she could make me a grilled cheese (food is kind of a big deal at our house xD it takes extensive planning and shiz). So while I was lying on my bed, bored and waiting for my grilled cheese, I didn't expect her to suddenly yell my name, urgently. I immediately thought of three things:
1. My brother had fallen and hit his head and gone unconscious.
2. My sister had burned the grilled cheese and fire was spreading around the kitchen.
3. My pet kitty was dead....
What I didn't expect was a fat envelope from the University of Southern California. I ran downstairs and plopped down in front of the kitchen counter, when my sister pulled out from behind the edge of the counter THE ENVELOPE. I definitely started crying--what I suspect was the result of many months of bottled stress and worry. I cried like a flippin' baby. Also, tears of happiness....
I'm going to school in L.A.....my home...I don't think it's hit me yet because I still feel that stressed out, stomach knotted sensation that I always got before I flew back to Boston. I'm staying here!!! No more BU Terriers, no more racist comments, no more freezing in my room and scurrying around trying to get warm, no more East Coast stereotypes ohmygod. NO MORE CLASSES THAT ARE SO EASY I FEEL LIKE MY HEAD WILL EXPLODE. I'M GOING TO BE A USC STUDENT. All that holding my breath and wishing in my head while driving through the tunnels on the freeway....I guess they paid off :P.
Also, all that time I spent studying until my brain hurt and getting good grades....that probably helped, too.
I'M SO HAPPY I CAN SAY THIS:
FIGHT ON!!!!
