Match Day

My hand was literally shaking as I clicked refresh over and over again. I watched the seconds count down to when I would know my future. I can't believe it all comes down to this-all the work I have done-just to find out from a website how I will spend the next year of my life. Then I get to the final seconds and, of course, the page hesitates and takes several seconds, which felt like hours, to refresh. And there it was:

I am pleased to inform you that you have been appointed (computer matched) to Bowling Green State University Distance Education.

All I really had to see was the "you have been appointed" part and I could breathe again. At least I had something. But then I realized that I had received my number one choice! Even better!

Why thank you for informing me, D&D digital, that I will be able to move on rather than just sit idle for the next year until there's another chance to apply.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some celebrating to do.
