Cornell Johnson Interview Invite!!!

Let's talk about how three words totally made my day!!!

I woke up today feeling pretty happy.  I got my happy back! as per my facebook status this morning!  I'm not sure what it was that put me in a good mood but I was happy all day!  There was just something in the air!   I knew that Michigan's R2 Batch 2 decisions were coming out today, but I told myself that I wasn't going to think about that.  I thought that gauging from Friday's results that invites would not go out until around 2pm so I was calm until about 1:30.  Then... I logged out of my gmail account around 2pm because I didn't want a lack of an invite to take my Happy away from me.  I was on a natural high.

Then around 4:30 I had to check my email for something that I sent myself.  I scanned the 6 new emails that I had and saw that one said Johnson Interview Invite.  Initially I said to myself "Johnson is the school at Cornell.... wait... Interview to Invite?!?  OMG OMG OMG OMG"  Then I opened it... and read it and said "YES!!!"  I told my coworker who sits next to me and she gave me a hug.  Lol.. I know over dramatic yes... but she has her MBA so she knew what I was going through.  It was nice to be able to share the happiness with my coworkers.

I then told my recommenders and they congratulated me and what not.  So now I'm in a different stage of the game.  Interviewing!!!  So yes I did interview for the Consortium back in October and that went well, but now I have to interview for Cornell by February 18th.  I have the option of doing a phone interview or going up to campus and doing a campus interview.  HHmm let me see here... what to do what to do?  DUH!  I'm sure by now it's obvious to know what my decision will be.  I plan to go back up to Ithaca.  It's only about a 4.5 hour bus ride - completely doable in a day.  Or maybe I'll go up and stay over that day and come back on Saturday.  Who knows?!?  I have some friends up there we can hang out... take a chill pill... ok not really because I'm positive they're uber busy.

Regarding the Michigan interview, or rather lackthereof... I'm not discussing that until after I see my account updated.  NOT GOING TO TAKE MY HAPPY AWAY!!!

I GOT MY HAPPY BACK FOLKS!!
