The big day has finally arrived!!

Just wanted to update the world,

Yesterday I was accepted to the University of Utah for Spring '09 (meaning January, meaning freezing cold). I'm surprised, I was prepared for panic and fear. So far I've felt nothing but good emotions about going... I'm not sure how my Dad's going to do with this, but I think it'll all be fine eventually. He's excited, but I think also kind of sad to see me go. Still, it's time to get on to the next step. For the first time in a long while, I feel optimistic about the future. I genuinely feel really excited, beyond words. This is the first day of the rest of my life, for lack of a less dramatic, cheesy, and spastic way of talking about it. Now we'll just see what happens next...
