Yay for me and here's why:
I went to talk to my French film prof about possible grad schools, and she said she was happy for me to be interested because I'm smart and I'm good at it (and she actually even said, "Yay for you!"). She said I should even apply to places like NYU and Harvard and Berkeley and UCLA, because there are possibilities I will get in. This makes me feel good, cause I was scared I'd end up at a crappy state school, but she seems to believe in me (although I don't know why...). Woo!
