The fabled confetti-filled envelope

At least, fabled to those of us who spend most of our social time with someone who got into Reed and didn't go...

The fabled, expected, longed-for, twice-sought-after letter arrived and with it a credit transfer estimation and a financial aid award. I was a bit worried about aid, but they're giving me lots of money. Out of an estimated cost-of-attendance of $51,900, $120 must be drawn from my own resources and $3500 is offered in loans. Holy shit. Not only am I in, but I can afford to go and that's really not that much debt on the scale of student loans.

I couldn't be more excited about this!
