yesterday while kim and i were driving around california my roommate nate called me to let me know that i had recieved another official looking piece of mail from the university of illinois, and...it was big. he opened it up while i was on the phone with him and began reading:
"dear incoming student..."
...and then, you know, "it is our pleasure," etc. and they even have a seat for me! even though my own state school doesn't. so i guess i didn't have to have the letter in my hands to believe i'd been accepted, as long as someone i knew had it in their hands. so i'm in, i'm in, and all that waiting wasn't just a really long tease. JOY!
i'm so happy to have been accepted, and to be honest a little relieved. the next question is if i've been accepted to the urban medicine program, which will determine if i'm on the chicago campus or the urbana-champagne campus. i'll keep you all updated, but for now i'm just going to have a nice deep sigh...

wow! can you feel the illinoise?!? i can. and it feels good. we'll miss you in omaha. i feel a little shafted, honestly. i did move over here to see where our relationship would take us. i knew i shouldn't have left aaron in lincoln. now he'll never take me back. you're just too good to be true jeremy. i'll always have a special place in my heart for you.
