I’m In!

May 1, 2008 | Filed Under Architecture, Family 

Guess who scored a spot in the M. Arch program? Woohoo! :D

Near the end of March, I got the dreaded thin envelope in the mailbox (the kind you don’t want to see when applying for schools). It wasn’t an outright rejection mind you, but quite possibly a slow and prolonged one, as it stated I had essentially been wait-listed. The letter explained I’d know my official admission status in April. So then April came and went. I had pretty much accepted the notion that I’d likely be trying another round of applications for next year (and maybe scoring residency too, by then).

But then today, I got an email, attached with an official acceptance letter and program requirements. It’s a go after all. How cool is that? I’m pretty excited.

    Hey Sheldon, Congratulations! This is bad news for us here in SLC though, huh? I assume you’ll be leaving in a few months. Keep us posted, ok?

    Jerin,

    At the end of June we will be doing the Uhaul thing. Our contract ends at our current place around the same time, and we want to get moved and settled in before the start of the term. We’re going to miss SLC - especially during the summer, and everyone we know here. The ward is the best too. But… opportunity knocks, right? ;)

    Congratulations Sheldon, that is great news. We are so happy for you and your family. I bet your dad and mom are excited to see you. The pictures of your family are really good. The boys are so cute. We wish we were close enough that we could give them a big hug. Much success at you schooling at Nebraska. Good Luck. Love, Grandpa and Grandma Doney

    Hey you guys,

    We want to say thanks again. You guys are great. Please let us return the favor when you come back to Taiwan!! Good luck in Husker-ville…

    Hey, good seeing you guys, it was fun. Adam congrats again about the job. (I was watching a little bit of the Cards and Red Sox game today and wondering how it would be to see a game in Taiwan). We’ll definitely have to get together when we’re in that part of the world again. (Thanks for the well-wishes, right back atcha!) :)
