Wow today has been such a great day until the fact that my Mom and I entered the world of raging anger and hell...hey she started it not me!!
Well...hey guess what: MY POEM GOT INTO ELLIPSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found out during 8th period when Max came into my history class and yes I was wondering why Max entered my 8th period realm. While he stood there with some papers in his hand I was working on my Industrial Revolution project with Ben who I always enjoy working with because...it's Ben Collins and I'm sorry forgive me. Alors...for those of you who are acqauinted with Ben -he's very unique..like me I guess only he's not Asian
So I was continuing to work when I looked up and Max saw me and asked,
Max: are you Susan?
me: yeah..
max: here *hands me a stapled amount of paper
me: *thinking: what could this be about?
me: *finally see's the front page and realises that it was the poem that she submitted to Ellipses ..a while ago acutally
me: *blood rushes up through my veins as I read the sliver paper that happend to be stapled on top of my poem and it read :
Susan Wang (someone wrote my name ..maybe it's Jason ..? because the handwriting looks rather similar)
"Thank you for submitting to Ellipses. We are glad to inform you that your piece THE TRAIN STATION
will be published in the Spring 2005 issue. Out of over 160 submissions, we could only choose to print a limited number. Congratulations, and we hope that you continue to submit to Ellipses.

When I finished reading that, my mind spun around forcing me to DOUBLE check what I just read through my eyes and then my reaction was released into jumping up and down and then going out of room 608 and ..literally almost hugging the wall, which is weird THOUGH I WAS FEELING VICTORIOUS AND HAPPY!!! WHEN YOU WIN OR GET ACCEPTED YOU JUST WANT TO SCREAM AND JUMP AND....yes get ahold of one's self 45 seconds later
me: yes yes !! wahoo!!! omg yes yes yes!!!!! *slams into wall ..nearly crying..then heads back into room and stares at the paper again reading what the letter read
Ben: Susan...are u okay?
me: I got accepted!!!
ben: to what??
me: my poem!! here read it!!
Ben: awesome, congratulations
And to the other fellow classmates in my history class I was not going insane and like Ben told you,
everyone: what's wrong with Susan..?
Ben: she got accepted into Ellipses
Celia: really? that's awesome congrats
me: thanks Celia
Before class ended Ben and I were trying to finalize our project by using sharpies and blue felt tip marker to go over our sketches, map of Africa....and making great political cartoons as well (it's awesome
So when class ended I told Ben that I would stay at the library and finish the things that Ben suggested that I should do and then this is what happened
Ben: okay thank you so much
me: oh np Ben *HUG!!! when I hugged him my ear was on his chest and..his heartbeat was thumping madly...ahaha that reminds me of Bambi....yeah old Disney classic apparently...but damn Disney movies are so brutal (people die..and YOU SEE THEM DIE in one way or another..like in Tarzan, which was a horrible move..you see the shadow of Clayton who got hanged...man that's just harsh)
