The Creative Writing Programme of SF State wants me! Mom phoned me just now, waking me out of a sound sleep, to tell me that the department has accepted me, and forwarded my application to the university with the recommendation that they accept me for approval!!!

I was so sound asleep that it's kind of hard to process the information, but she read me the letter (choking back tears of happy) and it seems to be true. Now assuming the school doesn't find some mysterious reason that I don't qualify to get a degree there, that means (as far as I can tell) that I'm in! and to the MFA programme too, which is the one I really wanted!

They flattered me with the news that there was stiff competition this year and that they in view of that they were especially impressed with the quality of my manuscript.

My mother has kindly rushed the acceptance letter down to the post office to get it in for the five o'clock post. So I should be able to touch the actual words by Wednesday. Now I'm just waiting for the online admissions site to change my status to accepted.
