Fame is but a fruit tree, so very unsound

Another rejection this morning, this time from Michigan. They definitely win the award for briefest letter. It is quoted here in its entirety:
"Dear Ms. Fellman,
Thank you very much for your application to our Program in Greek and Roman History. Because this is a small Program with limited resources, we regret that we are unable to offer you admission. We wish you the very best in your future plans.
Sincerely, etc."
I also got rejected from UCLA (don't remember if I mentioned that), so that leaves me 1-5, with two remaining unaccounted for. If Cornell hadn't been so early and awesome, I'd definitely be in wrist-slitting territory by now.
On the other hand, I think I finally managed to identify what's been causing my poor compy to spaz out. I downloaded a driver update which should take care of it. (Provided my diagnosis is right, of course.)
Now, on to the dishes!

I think they should just get a big rubber stamp with "NO!" written on it and then send you a 3x5 notecard with a giant red stamp on it.

Or maybe, as per John's friend, a mix-and-match version. Just a random appropriate word generator: "Regret dear unable we to to inform offer Ms. you we admission Fellman are that."

I suppose you should be thankful for proper grammar. I have a friend whose rejection letter was only about three fourths of those words in a more or less random order. Hyperbole of course, but you understand. :)

Funny you should be talking about killing yourself and listening to "All Apologies" by Nirvana.

I have a sneaking suspicion we're both going to end up at Cornell! which will be especially weird because we've never met!

And hilarity ensued.
