Book me to speak

Stanford finally gave me the word…

OK, I’m seriously running on fumes right now because today is the notification day for Harvard and Stanford. As I said in my last entry, I haven’t been sleeping much for the past few days because I’ve been so worried about what I’d hear today. Well, things got worse yesterday when my boy Detavio told me that he’d gotten a call from the admissions office at Stanford saying that he got in. I was happy for my boy, but I was also upset because I didn’t hear from them at all yesterday. My stomach was in a knot all evening long and, when it came time for me to crash for the night. I couldn’t sleep. I might have caught a 15-30 minutes cat nap last night, but I spent most of it doing pushups, dumbbell curls, and crunches in an attempt to make myself get tired.

Anyways, when I got into the office this morning, I was a wreck and felt like a member of the walking dead. The first thing I noticed when I sat down was that the voicemail light on my desk phone was blinking, so I checked it and there was a message from Derrick Bolton on there telling me that I’d been accepted at Stanford. All I could think at that point was…

HOLLA!!!!

but I was at work, so I had to chill…and wait until I could walk outside to call my mom with the news and act like a complete nut. 🙂

I’ll be hearing from HBS in 2 hours and I’ll be posting another entry right after I hear the news. I’m on Cloud 9 right now…hell, I haven’t even been able to breathe right for the past hour. I feel like I’m having an asthma attack from the excitement.
