UMich Telluride House Blues

So I applied to the UMich Telluride House. I really put a lot of effort into the essays and began them earlier, much to the surprise of my family and self. I know that interviews have to be conducted this week and next week, but I'm flying for Spain on Saturday. So, thinking ahead, I e-mailed the house and asked to know when to schedule an interview.

I was informed that I would be interviewed only if I made it to round two. While this shouldn't have surprised me, it did, because I didn't understand from the website that it had the same sort of tournament feel that the TASP application process did. So, Sasha, a girl from the house, informed me that if I was indeed selected for the interview process, she would let me know straight away on Monday.

Possessing the fragile ego of an easter egg, I've checked my e-mail many times so far today, but no e-mail from Sasha, and it's already like 5:15...

UPDATE 45 SECONDS LATER

I cleverly decided to check my voicemail. I had one message. It was my mother informing me that a man from the house had called to setup an interview. Salvation comes through the phone and not through e-mail today.

Well, that concludes my nervous musing. Hope you're all doing well!
