Good News and Bad News

So far, this application process has come with plenty of good news.  However, it has been my experience that good news is always followed by just slightly more bad news.  So I shall create a good news sandwich (sandwiched by bad news...):

I will not be receiving the Gilman Scholarship.  This is kind of embarrassing news too because it was announced to me by study abroad adviser that last term 9 of the 12 PSU students to apply received the Gilman.  There is also an incredibly competitive girl who likes to ask if I got my scholarships.  Perhaps it is pure interest and friendliness.  But I can't help help but doubt she is without her own motivations.

I got my official acceptance letter from Yonsei!  So as long as I do not blow this term and send them transcripts with a bunch of failing grades, I will be attending South Korea's second best university! (I don't want to hear any of this "tied with Korea University" shit.  This is my good news damn it!  I will be going off this list [ http://studykorea.learnhub.com/lesson/18716-top-10-universities-in-south-korea ]), thank you very much!

My acceptance packet will not come until some time next month and I cannot apply for my visa until I get this packet.  So more waiting!
