Alright, I just want to make it clear that I'm not trying to be showy or bragging or anything, cuz i always worry that people will think that. I'm just extremely excited and I wanted to tell the world, but please don't be offended
The mail came an hour ago (which is a whole nother story...that i'll tell you mid sentence to leave you in suspense...8 months ago our mailwoman of 7 years was relocated...since then we have had a variety of mailmen, but they all deliver the mail at 3:30....our mail used to come at 10:30...i understand that someone has to get the mail at 3:30, but if you are used to getting the mail at 10:30, someone else must be used to getting it at 3:30, so why switch things around? Just follow the same schedule as your predecessor) and I got an acceptance letter from Northwestern! I'm ecstatic.
I probably won't go there, though, cuz they're way too expensive and they're the only school to offer me no financial aid as of yet. Still, it's incredibly exciting. I hope all of you have gotten into great schools that you've wanted to be accepted to and I hope you were as excited as I am when you recieved your letter.
Random Factoid: For Burkee: an official linguist from Harvard University wrote that "illinois" is native american in basic root origin, but it was taken and adjusted by the French. Technically, it should be prounounced "illonwa." However, midwestern culture has typically prounounced it "illanoy." Neither accepted prounounciation uses the "s" at the end. "Illanoise" is usually said by people far from the state or gangsters (ie Big Jule in Guys and Dolls")
Pip Pip!
