The Large Envelope
Thursday, March 20, 2008
It’s been quite a couple weeks. You’ve waited, and waited. You’re religiously checking your mailbox, leaving with no more than you came with. ...and then, suddenly, you see a large envelope with Mickey Mouse on it.
For most, this large envelope is the literal key to the world that awaits them. Quickly rummaging through the envelope as if it were Christmas, inside one finds a colorful folder, with all the information it seems you’ve already read. It also has this one letter- this one letter is paper gold.
“Congratulations” is one of the first words uttered by the letter, and all that pent up anxiousness and anticipation finally release: you know you made it in! All the small details seem to escape you, and for a moment in time, it just doesn’t matter. Of course it’s not always good news (suffice it to say, a standard letter sized envelope generally doesn’t contain anything you want to hear), but for most, this is really the beginning of an incredible experience.
There’s a whole process that goes along with this, which I’ll start talking about next week, but for those of you who have gotten your offer packets, congratulations!
Personal Update: Tomorrow will mark the one month point of my wait for a response from recruiting. Let’s just say the anxiousness and anticipation continue to build.
Coming up next week: Acceptance, Moving up in the Ranks
