It's been three weeks...
...since the admission news were poured out on me. What do we have now:
1. I was named a Forte Fellow of the Forte Foundation. As far as I understand, it brings no financial benefits, but the honour of being a member of a large network and an opportunity to participate in diverse business and community events sponsored by the organization. That is, my first ever trip to USA is likely to happen in June, when I plan to attend to the Forte Symposium in New York. Now, Big Apple, beware :)
2. FedEx knocked in my door, too, to deliver not a heavy package with First coffee mug, but a lean envelop with congratulations letter from AdCom and a check-list for future matriculation process. Boss, no overtime tonight, please, I am running to the post office to mail my $1,000 love letter to Darden.
3. It's amazing, but looks like my accommodation question in C-ville is already solved, several months to my scheduled arrival. I was choosing between two main options: renting a house that will allow me to host my family and friends in case of their visit, or sharing an apartment in a students' off-ground residential area, which was recommended to me as the best place to stay in the mid of main fun. Privacy or networking? It was a difficult choice until I got a letter from a Law School girl who described herself in a way that put an end to the argument :) It sounded like an opportunity not only to find a roommate, but to make a new friend, and it is not something that I never turn my back to.
4. Off-topic
Admission offer brings a lot of confusion in a relationship. I was brought up in place and time where ladies were taught never to ask a man about his feelings, but I never learnt how to respond when I am asked whether the thing going on between me and my friend is in fact love. No matter if I admit or deny, the question in the air is What are we gonna do now about what will happen then, in summer? I was asked, if it is better to break up now before it goes too far, and the only answer I have is that I don't want it to end.
Is it time of power or resignation?..

Every time I look on your blog - you have tons of good news! Well done :))
Wow! You're flying to NY in June - photos, please ;)
As for point 4, it is really up to you to decide when, or just accept the inevitable. I believe that the things (people, places, etc) that are really yours - will come back to you. If they are not - there are lots of other wonderful things in life.

To tell someone that you are a Forte Fellow at Forte Foundation is impressive :)
And I second RusGirl's opinion on point 4.

he he...so Fed ex knocked, hunhh...i wish these schools send some more goodies...i would have liked that.
as far point 4 is concerned, i am so good when giving love advice that people always take it...so i will refrain this time, because this is one case where you should do what you feel right.
