So I got accepted to both Yale and Harvard. And Harvard offered me a grant that would cover full tuition. Perkins finally sent a letter of acceptance, after having sent me an email about a certain missing signature and then another email about having missed a deadline.
But I’ve been accepted to Harvard. I’m still trying to digest it.
Harvard.
…In Boston.

Harvard.
…In Boston.
…with the scholarly people…
… and the cold weather…
… and the overly expensive housing…
And the amazing Education/Theology program. And the Ivy-League rank. And a very high change of getting [almost] any job I could wish for…
I got in!
And I might be crazy enough not to go. Back when I thought I hadn’t made it beyond the first part of the application process, I had told myself it was too theoretical an education –not enough concrete, practical training. Now I find myself hoping that’s not true.
It probably is.
I wish Harvard was in Juarez… or Dallas… or Kansas at least
There’s so many people, so much love and friendship and companionship I am reluctant to go far away from… How can anyone be so happy and so sad at the same time?

Congrats Ardilla... We loved the flowers & look forward to talking with your folks & you again at the wedding.
We are a very noisy family & you will see that Q & his brother & sister together make up one really interesting heart...they just argue alot.
Not only that you get two trips in one out of this...a visit to Harvard & Yale plus the wedding. We hope sometime you get to be with us in Taos.You would love the hikes. By the way, I think the issue is more you assimilating all you have seen & not vice-versa. Q's M&D
Thank you... : )
...and I like noisy families : D ...maybe because my family's noisy as can be... lol..
