bad news / good news

friday afternoon, i found a small envelope from columbia teachers college. never a good sign. so, i braced myself for bad news, and there it was.

I regret to inform you... blah blah blah and so on. i was mildly disappointed, but i knew columbia was kind of a reach. twice now columbia has denied me. i'm seeing the pattern for the lack of love from new york. and so, a door was clearly shut.

that evening, a bunch of the girls went out to spazzo's for happy hour to celebrate grace's engagement to the totally awesome joe. we had us some fun :)

today, robert (potential seattle u law student starting fall 2005) and i had lunch at gordito's and then visited the seattle u campus. it was smaller than i expected, and i'd been there twice before. we skipped over the education building since i've seen it and toured the law building, which is pretty swank. when i got back home, another letter was waiting for me from UCLA. and it was another small envelope. i didn't think that boded well for me, but at the urging of kristie and shiv, i ripped it open, and saw the following words:

I am very pleased to inform you...

and with a small envelope, a new door opens. this pretty much seals my future for the next couple of years. this fall, i'm bound for LA. funny, the one place i never wanted to go as an undergrad, california.

LA = evil.

Oh, and after you marry that good Chinese boy, make sure you bring him back up to Portland or Seattle. heh.

c'mon....let's be real. you're not gonna find your nice chinese boy in LA -- you're find him in orange county. that's where the butter is. heh. that's where i found mine. we better have a seattle reunion when you move down for school.
