*fanfare*

If I weren't so eager to announce this publicly, I would be in bed right now, but I'm so excited I'm not sure if I can fall asleep. (That's a lie. I'll be asleep before my head even hits the pillow tonight.) But that's not the point of this post.

May I have a drum roll, please?

Do you happen to recall my announcement when I first initiated the long, drawn-out, exhausting, overwhelming process of applying to college? (Sorry, I have to work up to this). Yes, well, I remember the announcement, even if you don't. It seems as though it were just yesterday...(that's another lie. It feels like eons ago. But these hyperboles just work better with the context of what I'm saying.)

And now, after much procrastination, stress, complaint, confusion, and paperwork, I have completed not just one, but two college applications! That's right, two!!! I submitted them today, and now I just know I'll wake up in a cold-sweat at 3:30 this morning having forgotten to edit some aspect of the applications.

I also began the torturous process of applying to a third college that I just recently added to my list of possibilities. I flew through it, and have only one section left. However, it can wait. I think two in one night is plenty of applications to submit.

This day might be significant. No, this day IS significant.

(Shouldn't each day be?)
