Yep, I'm excited! I hope Dr. Franklin gets me that rec letter soon enough to submit it.

One thing... I'd kind of rather you let me tell people things like this, or at least waited until I got home from work and had a chance to post first. Actually, I'd rather you called me and got permission before you opened letters addressed to me, too, if that's cool. Thanks.

Hope you're having a great time in CA!
