The word congratulations is used fairly frequently throughout the day. Congratulations on your graduation. Congratulations on the birth of your son. Congratulations on passing that class that you thought you were going to die in. It is said somtimes with true meaning, and other times said out of necessity. Today the word "congratulations" was said to me as the introduction to a journey I will never forget. I got my official letter of acceptance into the study abroad program here at the University of St. Thomas. Now you may all say, "well Laura you knew you were going to get accepted," however things never quite work out how I planned them to and I'm a fairly cynical person to begin with. Yes I realized I was going to get in, otherwise I wouldn't have started my blog almost a year ahead of time to talk about the whole process, however it would have been more dramatic if I had gotten a letter beginning with "to your dismay" or "we regret to inform you" luckily that's not the one I received.
