<p>Just wanted to share…my daughter came bouncing into the house from the mailbox, saying “hahaha, here’s my first rejection letter”, and she had a big smile on her face:)
It was from the School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University.</p>

<p>And it was not hysterical laughter from her, mostly an amused smile.
No condolences please, and send all your contributions to the Alcoholics Anonymous.</p>

<p>I asked her if I could post this, and she said, sure, so long as you tell everyone that I am CRUSHED!!!</p>

<p>(btw, this was not her dream school, and she is not crushed)</p>

<p>I am very sorry, chocoholic. I’ve still yet to hear, and hopefully <em>keeps the fingers crossed</em>…</p>

<p>I was originally deferred… and well, it was disappointing…</p>

<p>Well, nice to see that she is handling it so well… best you can ask for, I would guess.</p>

<p>Now, as to AA - is there a special choco division we should specify our contribution to?</p>

<p>Yup, you know those little chocolates in the shape of bottles, filled with liqueur? Thanks.</p>

<p>That’s just about the most charming CC notification of a denial that I’ve ever seen! </p>

<p>Are you serving those little chocolate bottles at your house? Cuz you all are way too relaxed sounding!</p>

<p>I hope someone advises the mailman to bring better news in his next delivery!</p>

<p>Sure Garland, come on over…only those with “Dear John” letters will be allowed in. We are taking this in the right “spirit” you know.</p>

<p>maybe if you give him some of those little bottle- shaped chocolates he’ll bring some sweeter news</p>

<p>I wonder if there are any mail carriers lurking, and if so what interesting stories they would share. I’m imagining delivering the mail amidst excited residents eagerly waiting for the day’s yield - I wonder if it’s just slightly a bit like getting to be Santa Claus for a few days etc.</p>

<p>Chocoholic, I agree with Garland. I think I should send chocolates your way or something instead of the other way around…</p>

<p>Hope it brings better news next time around.</p>
