Life is beautiful….
Life is good. For the first time in weeks I can finally sleep in peace. I got my first college acceptance today for De La Salle University. Actually I just looked up my name in their Qualified Freshman Applicant Inquiry Form and when I saw it there, I just stared dumbly at it for five seconds. Then, thinking there was probably a mistake, I typed in the names of all my friends who took it. A lot didn’t, to my surprise. Even my friends who are in the Top Ten didn’t make it. But when I saw Kriya’s, Chris’ and Anthony’s names, I was finally convinced that there wasn’t an error and that I did make it. I whooped for joy, even if De La Salle is located in the middle of a really polluted and pockmarked avenue prone to floods. But who cares?! My future is secure! I am going to at least one decent school!!
I SMSed all my friends (well, at least those who made it) and called Chris personally to tell him the good news. He sounded kinda bummed when he answered the phone (he later on told me he was in a bad mood cos he couldn’t go to Rockwell tonight), but then I was like, “Chris, I’ve got great news. You’ll never guess what. WE MADE IT TO LA SALLE!”
Silence for five seconds. And then we both started jumping around and screaming that we have a future and thanking God for giving us a chance. Chris dubbed me later as “The Bringer Of Good News” because I always happen to call him whenever he’s feeling really down. The last thing he expected to hear tonight was that he made it to La Salle. We spent the next hour talking about college and the courses we’re going to take here before we go to the States. If I go to the States.
Of course, I’ll be a million times happier if I get accepted into Ateneo and a zillion times happier if I get to go to college in the States. But for now…this is enough. There are lotsa cute guys at La Salle anyway.
In other news, Casey and I finally got to talk yesterday.
