And... I GOT IN! <BR><BR> "Was that what I think it was?" asked my co-worker Heather after I hung up, sticking her head over our cube wall. <BR><BR> "I got into Reed College!" <BR><BR> Stephen jumped up and ran around all of the cubes to give me a hug, and Theo ran over from his office after I texted him to give me a hug. <BR><BR> Appropriately, I celebrated my first day of being an accepted student at Reed by skipping class (trapeze), buying liquor, and making fajitas and mohitos. The night was toasted away on Theo's porch. </p> Wed, 27 May 2009 11:00:00 -0400 urn:uuid:42f4b1bb-b4da-44b6-92ce-aefbd6681f39 anomalily http://www.anomalily.net//articles/2009/05/27/day-171-i-got-in 365 Project Congratulations!
