i got into smfa. you know, The School of The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.  FUCKING AMAZING SCHOOL.I am so psyched. It’s so hard to get in. LOL heres the story of how i found out that I was accepted (this happened yesterday):

  1.  I arrive home after a long day of school.
  2. after a few minutes, the phone rings. I look at the caller ID. mom.
  3. I pick up, and she tells me she got an e-mail from lindsey (from SMFA admissions) and to call her to find out if i got accepted or not. apparently the admissions letters where going out late (today, as it is) and mom had been conversing with lindsey like ALL THE TIME and lindsey said i could call her to find out. 
  4. mom gives me the number. 671 area code.
  5. so i go to call, and accidentally use the area code “631″ because that’s OUR area code and a british man picks up and is like, “I don’t know who lindsey is, wrong number.” 
  6. so i call mom again. not realizing i used the wrong area code. and i realize it after about 2 seconds on the phone with mom.
  7. so i hang up with mom.
  8. and try again, this time with the 671 are code. 
  9. only it says “you call cannot be completed as dialed”
  10. about five tries later, to the same mishap, i call mom again.
  11. ARGH what is up with this?! all i want to do is find out if i got accepted to my top school yet!
  12. so mom looks up the phone number. apparently lindsey mis-typed. the area code was 617. lovely.
  13. so i call with the new 617 number. 
  14. Lindsey picks up. and puts me on hold.
  15. about 2 minutes go by with me listening to “welcome to the museum of fine arts boston! blah blah blah british prints from the war to… blah blah blah blah” over and over again. 
  16. Lindsey picks up again. apologizes for taking so long. congratulates. I’ve been accepted.

So that’s how it went. now I have to wait for the actual admissions letter to get here (so I can memorize every single word of it). and then for the financial aid packet  to come out. if i dont get a high enough grant or scholarship or whatever… I won’t be able to go. I hope i do. This school is… incredibly important to me.
