YIPPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

I have had some GREAT news today from Eric. He called UTA to ask if there was something wrong with our application because, I think I told you in my last post about UTA that they emailed us and told us they were interested in us attending UTA with a stipend and we would have to apply for the MS program and then when we were there for a while they would trnasfer us to the PhD program. Well when we applied they had the PhD listed so we applied for that. So he called to see if they saw the PhD on our application and they said that they would change it and there was no problem there, then Eric asked about the status of his applicagtion and the guy Eric was talking too was really open with Eric and told him that When he was in the application meeting Erics name came up and the Chairman said do whatever it takes I want this student here!!! This is the Chairman of the whole department!!! And it happens to be the guy that Eric wants to do research with! So he is going to be a freshman and they are going to offer him a stipend anyway. Apparently they don't do that with a lot of freshman. That is just sooooo AWESOME!!! and Prestigious to boot! I am sooo proud of Eric! This is definitely the boost that we need to get us through the last few months here. It is getting closer and closer but not fast enough! You guys can all come and help us pack if you want to!!! I would sure appreciate it!
