A glimmer!

Julia got waitlisted to Reed, and they invited her to send in "additional materials"... stuff like the reference letter she's getting from the president of Penn Valley, and her two awards, and YAY! I'm so freakin' proud of her. My baby girl, all growed up and ready to run away to school!

And tomorrow, I'm on a plane at ridiculous-o-clock a.m. Can't WAIT! Wheeeee!

That's so exciting!

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Waitlisted plus "please send additional materials" sounds pretty promising! I can't remember, did she apply anywhere as a sort of "backup" school?

I'm in SF proper, in the Mission; dunno if there's any chance of hooking up with you while you're here. Will you be going to the Halflab gathering tomorrow night? Still not sure if we can make it, Danny has been ill all week.

How wonderful!

And are we talking Penn Valley, as in "next to Wynnewood"?

A friend of mine has wonderful memories of Reed.

Will you be see-able during this trip?

Oh awesome!

Ooooh.

Now you have to find people who were accepted to Reed and tell them it's horrible and they should choose their other schools, thereby allowing Julia to get in off the waiting list.

YAY(ish)!!

It'd be a bigger yay for an outright acceptance, though this does sound promising.

I'm rooting for her!

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!
