A Miracle In Statistics

I can't believe this is happening. I feel as if I'm going to scream any time soon. Some of you might be dying to hear the story, so I'm gonna tell you. :)

I was in class today and my stats professor comes up to me and tells me that he would like to speak to me after class. I'm freakin out right now. I'm thinking that I've done something wrong or something is wrong in general. I have no idea. Finally the end of class rolls around and I go and talk with him. When I'm talking with him, I am so nervous. I feel as if I'm a kid again being sent to the principle's office. He says that he has looked at my file and thinks that there might be something special there. I'm wondering what the hell he is talking about. He then goes into greater detail. He asks me if I'm interested in going to graduate school. (For those that don't know, to do anything productive and pertaining to psychology, you have to at least get your masters degree.) I reply in a very hasty yes. He then turns to me and then says that he is impressed that I am a math minor. He then advises me that I might want to do a math major with a psych minor. The only thing is that I'm not sure if the college will allow me to do so. Also, I'm afraid that I will be here at UNF longer than I planned on being here. Then I think to myself, why is he asking all these questions. Turns out that this guy is a recruiter for NYU. Thats right kids. New York University. In the very heart of the Big Apple. Once I heard this my heart started to beat like a rabbit running through the forest. So, he tells me that he is going to talk with his buddies from up there and is going to see what he can do. I know that I'm not going to grad school for another two years, but it is good to prepare. If I have any problems, with the dean or with getting into grad school, he said he would be willing to help in any way he could. What a great guy.

I'm scared as ever, but how great is that? I'm going to be the first person in my family to go into graduate school! Thats a pretty big accomplishment. NYU would be a great school to go to, but I'm also looking at the University of Houston along with some others. If you have any suggestions, please, leave me a note.

I thought this was funny. And appropriate in a way. :)
