I knew it was bad news as soon as I saw the envelope: it was far too thin. Many of you know that I applied to a psychology program at a university in Michigan. I was not accepted for admission. Apparently, they were "regretful", or full of regrets, about it. Somehow I doubt the veracity of their words. I'll thank you in advance for your apologetic comments.

You're right, that was a bit sardonic. Perhaps it was even a little acerbic. (Incidentally, these were words that I learned so that I would get a high GRE score and gain admission to the school of my choice; at least I attained the former). I'm allowed to be a little cranky, aren't I?
