Commemoration of My First Offer from Graduate School

I got my very first offer from Syracuse University yesterday, with a merited-scholarship within 48 hours after my interview.

The night before yesterday, I dreamt that I got an the offer from this university for three times. It felt so real that I was drowned in great disappointment when I found that there was actually no email waiting for me the next morning when I climbed down from my bed to check – the first thing I did after getting up. My status on my VIP account at Syracuse University still read, “Decision made. The result will be emailed to you tomorrow morning”.

Waiting absolutely ranks the first as the most miserable things in the world, torturing those who are praying for hope in the dark. Thank god I had classes with tough assignments the whole morning to distract me from such a disappointment, but Actually, I still can’t couldn't help thinking about when the email would arrive from time to time.

To gain some good increase my luck, I had Lucky Wonton for lunch. The email from the school administration office arrived at 15:12. I was felt so excited the moment seeing I saw the email notification notification email lying in my email-box quietly that I could hear my heart beating and couldn’t just settle down to read it even though I still don’t didn't know the result. I closed my eyes for a while and took several deep breaths breathe to help me adjust my state. I almost hit the roof when I eventually saw the result -- all my worries were blown away and only happiness remained stayed!

I just declined an the offer from Ernst & Young last Thursday, so I got a little anxious about what it would be like if I got no none offers from any of the universities I applied to. This timely offer injected me with a limbo that I can calm down at least for a while (I don't know what you mean in this sentence, maybe you can give me the Chinese version and I can translate it for you). And (try not to use And to start a sentence) At least I have realized one of my dreams before the world ends – if “December 21st, 2012” does exist (which will soon be determined examined by time).

From here on (nearly read it as heroin lol), I want to thank all my friends from italki who have helped me with the by correcting correction of my essays and lent me a hand also helped me with my interview practice. I might not have achieved what I have without your kind kindly assistance/help. Thank you all!

P.S. There was lots of great snow in Tianjin yesterday. The picture below is a snowman we made in at our school! Merry Christmas to all my friends in advance!
