ACCEPTED! ...and laser tagging

So I applied to the University of New Haven this weekend,(actually, yesterday) and just got an e-mail saying that I have been ACCEPTED! Oh my God. That feels so good. I was so nervous that I wasn't going to get in. I'm actually shocked that I heard back so soon. My friend applied to the same school a few weeks ago and heard back in just under two weeks while I heard just over 24 hours after I applied. Whatever, I'm not complaining. I'm so excited, I can't even seem to find words to describe. OK...so here's the best thing that I can do to describe how happy I am about this:
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure it's my top school, and I'm just so relieved. I was starting to get really attached to the school and its programs. You know what probably happened? They didn't look at my application. They saw my name, and looked up their student store records and saw that I have bought a shitload of stuff from them. haha nahh. But honestly, I HAVE bought a lot of stuff from their store. I have a sweatshirt and sweatpants from them. Plus I've visited their school twice, so I have two tshirts from them. I also have a small gym bag that I won at a visit for knowing who the Pope was. =D

(and here's another story that I didn't feel like making a new post for. So you can think of this as a double feature kind of thing.....)
Oh and so yesterday I went laser tagging with my youth group and it was the first time I've gone in about.... 5 or 6 years. So I basically had no idea what I was doing. BUT! I did pretty good! We had 3 games and I came in 7th during the first round, 14th the second and 9th the third. The second game sucked because I was on a crappy team. All the good warrior players were on the other team and I'm pretty sure there was something wrong with my laser pack. (It never seemed to fire straight) Whatever, I still had a hell of a time.
Actually, during the first game, I was still getting the lay of the field, and since it was dark, I couldn't really see where I was going. But I was walking - running, really - and I was going through the maze-like area and there were a bunch of walls facing random ways. So it's kind of not surprising that in the darkness I ran into a wall with my shoulder. My left shoulder banged into an unseen outcropping, and the force of it spun me around and I tripped to my right, banging my right elbow on the next wall over. Needless to say, I have a nasty bruise on my left arm.
And, in the same round, the belt-thing that connected the back pack to the front pack was twisted, so it gave me rug burn on my right elbow. Isn't that lovely? Two injuries in one game. But I was proud of myself. There were about 20 people in the game and I did better than most of them in those two games.... (The one when I came in 14th place doesn't count, by the way =D)

But so there's my update for now. Band season ends this Saturday, and it makes me sad. But! I did join indoor percussion, so that's something new and fun. I'm on cymbals and apparently we get to dance and sing....oh joy.......-_-

Anyway, I'll be seeing you all around. DFTBA
