I received an email from the Dean of Liberal Arts reading that he enjoyed my bits of prose and poetry I sent in along with my request letter, and I was accepted into the Creative Writing minor. They only accept five students a year. I'm very pleased with myself. I also have a second interview tomorrow for a job as a waitress. Things are falling into place. I'll flash the best smile I've got and make that money to go back to school this fall... au revior.
