Um...you're on the waiting list?

[Hobo Renee]

So, I doubt that many of you remember this, but I applied to the California State Summer School for the arts a few months back and it's pretty hard to get into seeing as how California is a big place with a lot of artsy type people. Anyways, I heard back from them saying that I'm on the waiting list and if they have room for me they'll call. I'm happy that I just didn't get a straight up no from them, but the ambivilence of having to wait to hear back from them is killing me. Do you think that I would be able to write "being on the waiting list for CSSSA" down as an accomplishment for college aps? I was an alternate for the Japan America Frienship Scholars and got it so this might be the same. An weird coinsidence is that last year I found out that I got the scholarship the same day that I donated blood and the blood drive is coming up at the end of this week...hmmm....should I donate or not. The only drawbacks are that it hurts (shut the fuck up, it does!) and it's the afternoon after the AP test, but at least I could get out of going to a lot of classes. Okay, that was a lot more than what I've written here in a while, but I felt like so there!
