eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

... is the very high pitched sound I made when I read the following:

The Graduate Admissions Comittee of the Faculty of Communications and Culture met to review your application to the PhD program in Culture and Society.
I am pleased to inform you that the committee has decided to recommend your admission to the program.

I AM SO HAPPY! Really! I had originally applied for the Communications Studies program because the Culture and Society program hadn't been formally set up when I initially met with the dean of graduate admissions. So this is even better than I ever thought it could be!
Anyway, when I was tired of jumping up and down and punching the air and squealing, I went out to the supermarket to get some food for dinner. I really don't like our local supermarket at all and usually I'm in a fouler when I'm there, grumbling at the racks of junk food and the overpriced vegetables. This time I was smiling at everyone, didn't get frustrated by the slow queue, and walked home in the lovely fluffy snow (about a foot today) with a definite spring in my step. I'm just SO excited!
