Today's Mailbag...

I have just finished reading a chapter in my textbook.

It's late, and I need to get to bed...

But I am just about to burst with my news, and I can't go to bed without sharing it first.


Several weeks ago I had received a letter from the university asking for a resume`. It seems that I had been nominated for an ~award~, along with many other students, and a resume` was needed for the final selection process.


So I sent them a resume`.


Today...

I received a letter in the mail from Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.


The letter states in part:

Oklahoma City University has nominated 151 students to be included in the 2007 edition of Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. It is my great pleasure to let you know that you are part of this elite group.

I'm really surprised by this...

And honored at the same time.


In fact, it's quite humbling.


To be on a nationally recognized list with all of those young college students.


Maybe when I listed my classification as a senior I should have put...

"pre-senior citizen" instead.


It could be that I just submitted the longest resume` they've ever seen.


What university professor on earth can turn down pages upon pages of typed text?


All of my professors love 20+ page papers...

With three pages full of typed references.


But it's too late now for anyone to change their minds because of my...

*ahem* age.

At least I think it is.


They can't take the award back...

Can they?

later...
